I wasn't questing for those things, as it happens. Also looking for interest, contact with wordy and worthy people blah blah blah. Much more fun than the library, with the added bonus of not having to move.

Are you somewhere in northern Britain?

I had no intention to appear that way so I can only assume there is a gap between your perception and my intention of a similar type as that one when a lady objects to a man holding a door open for her.

Is it like that?

I would never object to a door being held open for me, as a matter of fact I would expect it, is that being perfidious to other women would you consider?

I know some women would construe it that way and some wouldn't. Most ladies would see it as a general compliment to womanhood, of which species they happen to be a representitive of at the time the door is being held open, from an anonymous male who also represents his own species during this momentary meeting the duration of which depends on other circumstances.

Wimmin would think it patronising wouldn't they?

Probably so, a reflection on their weediness on being unable to open a door themselves; however I think you're rather 80s, spendius.

Is the introduction of self-opening doors a response to this not-very-old dilemma?

There's no such thing as self-opening doors.

Do you believe in mysterious forces?

They are only mysterious because we do not yet comprehend them.

What kind of forces are you referring to?

There is always a rogue in town who would force himself on anyone.

There are self opening doors though, they may require assistance from passive beams, but they do not require human touch to open up, surely that makes them self opening?

A primitive from the jungle may well think that the doors at Harrods open on their own but a modern Western mind knows that it is a team of people which has opened them traceable back to the turbines in a hydro-electric scheme hundreds of miles away and which has acheived popular labour savings of a fairly high sophistication with which to flatter citizens with. With some it has flattered their little heads right off their lovely shoulders.

Do you think it is you who boil the kettle?

Quibbler and pedant, worse than me. You know very well what was meant. Anyway that kettle question was a bit unwimminy wasn't it?


Do you like things that work without agency from the person benefitting, like the doors?

Anything developed by man for the betterment of mankind has to be looked upon favourably. That idiotic oink would have everybody living in mud huts on the banks of The Thames and similar rivers.

Certainly, follow the road to Staithes, when you arrive at the cliff heads change down a gear, accelerate as hard as you can, close your eyes and shout Geronimo at the top of your voice.

Hey you two..this is a corner of England.

I'm sure I can speak for Clary and regret her calling you by such a derogatory name rather than your proper one and also inform Clary that you didn't really mean what you said about her driving off a cliff which she is much too sensible to ever do anyway. She's only been done for speeding once.

Is anybody off to the pub shortly?

No, you cause more than enough mayhem on here and probably a lot more at home, purchasing equipment of such capabilities could result in total uproar and anarchy on the streets.

I'm okay. I've been called a little imp before. In fact a few times. I'm sure I don't know what it's supposed to mean.

You should know shouldn't you?
