@Dutchy,
Quote:What's wrong with your bloody arithmetic spendi?
You providing token opposition and thus allowing the inevitable victory a semblance of significance. Which will happen also, and for the same reason, in the election. Look how Herman Cain was shuffled out to leave the field clear for the henpecked tough guys.
It is better to chip in with some smart-alec snidies and show contempt for this show of strength which is only one of the myriad of inevitable consequences of the electoral reforms of the early 20th century. A minor one but still. It shows which way the wind is blowin' if only in microcosm.

On the Yabber thread, and elsewhere, you seem ready, eager and willing to do just that. They don't respect it you know. It's alright first time but on and on and on and it gets wearying. And imo it doesn't respect them because it implies that they are easy to manage which is as false as the falsies Dolly Parton imitators have to use to look half-way credible.
A few of had a go before you got here. Myself, Andrei, engine, max and maybe one or two others. The madman whose idea it was. Fastest first fingers were flying faster than fingers are evolved to fly. Tips of tongues sticking out of a corner of the mouth style of dedicated concentration whilst wanting to wee. It was good fun for a short while. Andrei announced his fed-upness first and fucked off. Which knocked all the stuffing out of me and the others, apart from the odd bleat, which they liked because it enabled them to be imaginative in avoiding the repeat post technology. I saw it as a kindness actually because just routinely adding one to the last post a thousand times is bound to come to seem exceedingly silly.
Our dearly loved osso chipped in adding 3. As a result I got the score to 46. It was simply ignored. I woke up one morning and found that our team had got it below 900 whilst I had been sleeping but the response was swift and just.
So go easy on me chum. I'm trying to persuade them that they don't really want to get to 1999 because the issue of who has the privilege of adding the finishing touch, a Voyage into Nowhere if ever there was one will loom up. Beth will want a fight for it. firefly will bring her lawyers, Olga will consult her Executive Committee, FS will shyly hide in the shadows hoping they can't agree and will call upon her as the least objectionable one, dwolan will peep over the fence with her ears on alert and--who else was there? If I missed anyone out I meant no disrespect.
I'm into damage limitation mode.
