@glitterbag,
Quote:Well I learned something today, both Spendius and JTT must only be able to engage via forums on those computer thingies.
I can't speak for JTT but I would like a definition of "able to engage" before I could comment on that silly statement.
It is one of my fundamental positions that we are all disengaged on a permanent basis.
I think it is because I only ever read writers who thought the same. Everything else being bullshit.
Nothing is more tiresome in the pub as a chap who is engaged. Odd ones sometimes join in at my corner of the bar but they never last very long. They go away and start telling everybody what a bunch cynics we are. And all because we start delving into the real reasons they have a boat on Lake Windermere and have to drive miles and miles every weekend to check it hasn't been vandalised and a few other things, and take it out for a ride. They like little rides once a week do boats, they hate being neglected, entropy you know. Little boats I mean. Ones that go up and down all the time in the ripples. Big boats like lying at anchor in a warm harbour with the waves doing the up and down stuff. Valetta say. That's near enough to a honey pot to reduce the amount of tramping backwards and forwards.
Someone who has bought his two daughters a couple of horses never lasts for more than 5 minutes unless he's been warned to avoid mentioning the horses and the gymkhana. We do the mucking out and the board and lodging.
This engaged stuff is all in the way of making us look like lazy, idle goodfornothings just because we sprawl across the sofa all day watching the Test Match. We are close relations to monkeys they say and they are lazy, idle good for nothings most of the time. Does not evolution ratify scientifically lazy, idle goodfornothings
We are engaged in wending our way through this weary world of woe with the least aggravation which we think is sanity.
Quote:And one of you, can't remember which, used peeve as a verb.....Christ, it can't get better than this.
That is hardly a sign of being engaged. You can't be bothered you mean. It's back up the thread I presume. It certainly wasn't me although I have no objection. "She peeved her way through her ridiculous post," is clear enough to be understood. But it's a bit sneaky when she can't be bothered and tars me with the same brush she is tarring JTT with. And pretending a loss of memory when memory is not required.
Quote:The two of you are a complete waste of time.
But seemingly worth 13 lines of thrumming indignation.
Quote:It must be a wonderful state to be in when you never question yourself.
I've done it. I'm a well evolved microbe. There's nowhere left to go. It is pleasant. What questions are you still asking yourself at this point in your life. You might ask yourself why you get ego reinforcement out of an assertion of your own that something is "nonsense". With such a method you can never be wrong. You've tickled your own tummy. And with "manure" as well.
Quote:I hope none of this is offensive
You do not hope in vain.
Quote:my Dad said it didn't say much about a person who wanted to match wits with children or defectives, so on one level if he was still among the living he would disapprove....however, if he had a chance to read the manure you are spreading, he would be a much harsher critic than I of these feeble attempts the two of you have made in an effort to appear smart.
I don't discuss what you call defectives and it never entered my head that I wanted to match my wits with children. I have a higher opinion of A2K than that. Do you not think it incumbent upon us to make an effort to appear smart?
I think most of us would agree with what you claim your father would have said about matching our wits with children or faced with "manure".
I'm pretty easy going with fools. I found it necessary.
We only come on here because we are bored to tears at times.
