THE BRITISH THREAD II

Mathos-

Your 4th paragraph won't copy and I'm not typing it out because it's out of a travel brochure or else you have read that many travel brochures the cliches are groved into your sponge-pudding.

This will copy-

Quote:

Broad wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all ones lifetime,' and one is unable to quibble with his sentiments.

That's just asserted self-flattering blather. The great minds are monastic.

You get back and you're out of the loop and all you can do is bash everybody's ears with the old tune you get from all travellers about what a wise decision you made going to the backward regions which is a bit like claiming to be a wise person full stop.

Two months in a monastry would be a lot more fun. Travelling is all along one level about six inches above the ground.

What's so special about "opening the door"? and going out " on the verandah"? I've seen dogs do that. And cats. And it's a piece of piss for a monkey. When you are reduced to including those little gems in a short description the rest of the day must be pretty dire. Even diving in a river is no big deal. It'll be full of **** anyway.

Hi Walter, nice to see your still about, I certainly couldn't see your entries on the original thread giving cause for concern, one of the most amicable characters on A2K in my book, (except when your putting funny photographs of The Windy Cities fish and chips offerings on display :wink: )

Spendi, what does groved mean?

Monastic as well ! Name a monastic scholar who wasn't a parrot fashioned educated moron, a little like yourself I would have no problem in 'asserting;' as you like to use the word every-time your losing the argument and general drift of things amongst these pages.

You quibble and scuttle so much in your environment of self satisfied smugness, that your probably in the habit of believing everything you write is based on Zimmerman or some other clown that life has no meaning to you, save it be to duplicate the rantings of other has beens. A modern day Nostradamus in your own book no doubt. My, my, my, egotism of such high calibre must surely be dangerous for mortal man?

Have you declined my offer to buy you a pint?

I hope you are not trying to claim that this shite is not out of a travel brochure or a pile of them-

Quote:

Whilst one trip abroad is not good enough to wipe out years spent as an ethnocentric it is certainly a beginning. But only if you allow it to be, for too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely becomes a conversation piece. Use your time outside your familiar surroundings well and truly let your travels be an all embracing experience. The East is a magnificent place to start. Besides its legendary hospitality it offers beautiful vistas, eco-tourism opportunities, culture and food that tantalises the taste buds for ever. That is simply the beginning. Go beyond your fixed schedule (your well worn couch) and let The Orient happen.

Let it happen to the poor buggers who live out there is my motto. I'm glad it isn't happening to me. Great Britain suits me reasonably well.

Are you going to answer the two questions or not?

You keep running out of the back door and then let yourself in by the front door, the walk might be doing you some good, but it's not fulfilling the point.

You might be able to play your games of assertions with the Yanks, but it won't wash with me.

Answer the questions dumbo or keep your gob shut, your simply not playing cricket.

we ignore him.An assertion is often correct. AT least I fact check mine before assertion insertion.

Well this thread's taken a different turning.

Mathos, "The Orient" as a description is a bit broad for me, however poetic. Kiplingesque even.

Let's have some more of your travelogue- you're as good as The Hairy Bikers.

Whilst one trip to our cosmetic surgery is not good enough to wipe out years spent as a small-chested, long nosed, fat-lipped plain Jane it is certainly a beginning.

He's arguing for a brain makeover having presumably found Britishness not to his liking.

Your assertion there fm cannot have been fact-checked too carefully. It is hardly scientific to assert that my contributions have been ignored by this mythical "we" on the Science/Religion thread of wande's. Hence, by simple logic, the assertion "we ignore him" is false as is the assertion that you fact-check your assertions before inserting them.

And an "assertion is often correct" is true only if you allow that the football scores on the radio are classed as assertions.

The Concise Oxford gives assertion to mean- the insistence on a right or opinion; insistence on recognition of one's claims.

Well, let's see :

- It's good travelling to the Orient.

- It's good staying at home watching fooball (soccer).

In the average, it's dangerous playing football in Thailand :

Also dangerous to deface posters depicting the King. (20 years for a scribble. reduced by a compassionate judge to 10).

Fancy Leyton Orient playing at Brisbane road!

And have you seen the state of the prisons. They are places where slave labour is used to undercut the British working classes in the manufacture of some articles for sale here so it is understandable that the facilities for recruitment are easily accomplished.

If nobody scribbled on the King's picture they would have to bring in 10 years for slamming the door in order to keep the numbers up.

Hello Francis, nice to see you, trust your are in good health and spirit.

Spendi, it's the likes of you (complete with assertions) and probably your off-spring who think nothing of defacing notes and photographs of any ruling monarchs image.

Personally, I find it a despicable act, I think the Thailand Court should re-think the matter and treble the fools sentence to 30 years in Bang Kwang.
(AKA The Bangkok Hilton)

I have visited European prisoners in that particular prison and taken them toiletries, tinned and fresh fruit as a humanitarian gesture on an annual, sometimes twice or even more per annum, plus I know one inhabitant VERY well. However, he deserves to be there.

You my mentally retarded friend are still refusing to answer my two questions, I can therefore assume with credit that your mental faculties are perhaps as useless as your corporeal appearance from years of idleness and couch vegetation.

You have personal experience of Bang Kwang. You know what its like. You advocate 30 years for foolishly defacing a poster. You've been smoking too much waccy baccy Mathos.

No Steve, I disagree, if the small items of crime were dealt with severely from the outset, this world be be a better place for all of us!

Wanna see some whipping at the cart-tail eh Mathos?

Do you think a crime free society would function?

And you would get a crime-free society if " the small items of crime were dealt with severely from the outset".

I think you have NOT being smoking any waccy baccy. Only a complete barmpot would assert such crap as that you have. A straight. A square. A bloody roundhead. A presbyterian. A Puritan. A respectable petit-bourgeoise plonker. An armchair dictator. A blue rinser.

Spendi, your still walking around the estate or your famous Yorkshire Moors.

Your utter twaddle is boring, ineffective and totally pointless!

Are you going to answer the questions or act like a politician for eternity?

That's four assertions and the "totally" is a wasted word.

What questions?

Anyway I have to depart. I am going to a Catholic wedding to see a virgin given away.

Why is our media doing the Iranian's dirty work?
