THE BRITISH THREAD II

Autodidacticismologicalarianism.

Oh look, we're in the third person.

I refer you to my previous comment, which although jocular in intent, seems apt.

Mathos writes,

"I've climbed to the top of this anthill from where I intend to hoot and show my big blue shiny arse"

Hey did anyone read the Charlie Brooker piece on Internet chat forums?

Your so dull Mac

You couldn't entertain a doubt.

Okay I've come back from a meeting and a trip to Sainsbury's...and since the cafe was closed I then went to Tesco's and had my breakfast there.

Mathos writes

"I criticise other people, when I deign to talk to them, in the attempt to make myself look smart. Why do I always fail, and make myself look like a prat? Maybe that's because that's what I am."

Here it is. I recommend it....to anyone.

I'm trying to imagine Mac with a personality.

Somethings in life are impossible to get your head around.

Somebody mentioned he once had a worthwhile thought but it died of loneliness.

The most imaginative* writer on this thread was Lord Ellpus, but you drove him away with your vindictive nonsense, Mathos.

Me, I'm not bothered, but I'm sure you can do better than continual sniping. In fact, you have done....your info on Thailand was good, enthusiastic, interesting.

So throw away the nasty pills and put on that happy face.



(*edit....sorry Spendy, you are good too, but different )

I think Ellpus relied a little too much on "Carry On" humour to be considered imaginative. I think the word is derivative. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Smorgs (and indeed spendius) is much cleverer with words.

But that's just IMO.

Hey McT !! You spelt Gervais wrong!

:wink:

I don't mind you making accusations if they can be substantiated Mac.

My very good friend Lord Ellpus left the original thread when I was some three months into my absence from these shores and the threads!

Admittedly he got a couple of dressing downs from me, he took it on the chin, and we were quite casual from then on.

If you look back on the original thread, you can verify that for your own peace of mind! Then you can apologise.

I don't have anything but a happy face either mate, but I don't like being bored with bloody cat paws on the door and other irrelevant occurences which interest neither me, the devil or the deep blue sea!

You can of course enter whatever you wish to enter, I have no control over your decisions. But if I find it boring and irrelevant or whatever, I am obliged to have the right to say so. Just as you and other members have.

You, personally, I found alright until you started trying to be a clever pillock with your grammar and spelling corrections like an over-grown school teacher.

Lets face it, who the f*** gives a toss at our age if a word is spelt right or wrong or if a grammar cock up is made.

I left school with zilch, whatever I learned regarding grammar and spelling I learned of my own free will and accord by myself! I have held my own with some of the best brains this country has. Without vaunting, I have sat down in some of the most prominent boardrooms in this country and have copies of the minutes to prove it, along with letters of inspiration, combined with high approval of my business acumen from Chairmen attached to such companies.

You can snipe at me all day mate, your not really very good at it!

You can also rest assured that I do hit back, regardless! You don't come into the category warranting a serious flogging, Like Spendi gets from time to time, or like Ellpus got once or twice, but in effect I only toyed with him.

The balls in your court sunshine.

If Thailand travel interests you, fair enough, I'll make some entries, normally I retain such work for those who ask and send it privately, then I'm not being a bore to those who don't want it. Thats all.

I use the threads for a form of relaxation, I treat them lightheartedly, nothing more. I have some damned good banter with several members and some personal correspondence is exchanged with others, but its pure fun.

Spendi, you old goat, I have to admit to being somewhat concerned about you with all the floods in your neck of the woods.

I mean, if you just got wet, I find that really amusing, and if your local is flooded out, that is even more amusing.. Fancy Spendi in a pub with no beer!

However, if it's serious **** mate, I'm ...Well you know...!


Bollocks, he'll only come back with something cocky anyhow.

Can I just say at this juncture...

I have met Muckty on a number of social occasions and I've always found him to be an affable, witty and funny companion (even if he does make me go dutch - but hey, he's Scottish).

I know he's not the type to need me to intervene on his behalf, but if you don't shut your gob Maythos, I'm going to come round and give you what you deserve...

You can run, but you can't hide. I work for the GOVERNMENT! Consider yourself warned.

Any road up...

Marc Almond was brilliant! In fine voice, concert was packed, he sang loads of Jaques Brel. He did go on about his sexuality a touch, I wanted to shout "we know you're gay - just sing!", but of course, I didn't.

The river was really high last night, I had a nightmare about flooding: I was on a boat and trying to rescue my pussy from harm...

Was it Oscar who said "There's nothing more boring than other peoples dreams"?

Customer in Jobcentre "I've done my NVQ, I'm hoping to get an extinction". Made me titter for ages.

She's kidding, the flaxen-haired temptress, I never "made" her do anything. Chance would be a fine thing.
And Smorgy, I've bought you the odd meal, if memory serves correctly. Fess up. You mustn't go giving Scotsman a bad press....even if we are all mean. :wink:

Anyway, I can't take the pressure, with DP and Mathos both having a go, so I'll go and put the kettle on to fortify myself with some tea.

Hey I hope Spendy's computer's not afloat.....

...I know

Just been listening to the news, things are still dire. Hope he's okay, something tells me that if he has been rescued from his little stone-clad two up two down, by the scouts, rowing him down the flooded cobbled high street...

He'll be clutching his Dylan collection.

Hope he's got a Mae West! (is that how you spell it?)

Can't you take a joke, Mucky?

By Christ The Scots are a dour race (it's 'cos of the cold)

If you all are wondering where spendi is today, I saw him on some of the evolution threads quoting Bob Dylan. (I realize that sounds crazy, but that is what he is doing.)

I stand at your gate
and the song that I sing
is of moonlight...
Listening to Moonlight Serenade on the radio and singing along in a wobbly voice.

...I mean... you'd call the Police wouldn't you? Or do them for harrassment...standing at your gate and everything...

x

I, for one, don't believe you!

Our spends would never go on other threads and quote the Bard!

x

He do, he has, and he is!

In all his glory, pac-a-mac, waders, snorkel, face mask, flippers, life jacket, Zimmerman collection under his right arm in a Tesco plastic bag complete with elastic band, quoting to all and sundry, there be not a dry eye in the house.


Your spouting a lot tonight Smorgsi me old duck!

Been on the piss have we?

I can take a joke, sure (I put up with Mathos and Spendy, don't I? :wink: ...sometimes) but wouldn't like folks getting the wrong impression.

....like me making flaxen-haired temptresses do anything....the very thought of it......ooohhh

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

Spendy worships Bob Dylan, but... (raises hand to mouth and whispers) ...that line contains a double negative!

No it doesn't, it's okay. Trying to be funny, it just got silly....again.
