Deal ... I'll call on you next time I'm over and happily bstand you a pint of JD ... after you sign a disclaimer, discharge from responsibility and grant me irrevocable copyright on the recordings :-)
Well, hank heavens for that ... if you'd taken the pip then I doubt there'd be any future for mankind !
But cheers ... I have no need for excuse, especially not made up ones eh ?
Drinking ... that looks awfully like an Australian projection, and while it has to be agreed that NZ has a similar booze issue to our bigger near neighbour the industry would fail overnight if everyone consumed as little as I do! Might not be a bad thing either ... but pissed people are easier for governments to manage and it keeps the cops happy / busy doing there thing!
As for insults ... I think if you wanna play fair you'd need to go well back and see that I make no bones about returning like with like. Certainly I could agree that a couple lobbed towards yourself have been a tad 'generous' i their boisterousness but (perhaps mistakenly) I read too much into a post of your where you (generously) pointed out that I can handle the incoming and I assumed you too also could handle 'whatever' came your way ? Everyone (inc you and I ) has boundaries and the only way they are found is when they are crossed - if I offended you, then sorry and I;ll be more cautious !
Suggesting any form of meltdown on my part ... nah, not my style at all !
<<< Ruddle's County Bitter ... imported from UK, genuinely good pint, possibly available over there ... try it and send me the receipt :-)
a couple of ... never sure if they're more journalists or comedians ... just set a new Guinness world record by remaining on air and conducting continuous interviews non stop for THIRTY HOURS
It seems to be verbal tennis here ... serene had 'first serve' several volleys have been played a few hard shots, I return hard and the referee now intervenes to call foul play?
So ... what next ?
Ask others to cool it ?
Point out that you seem to be saying serene is the only good person here...
Block me from posting and leave the hounds to it ?
You know what Noddy ... I almost dislike you about as much as you dislike me, maybe 10 / 15 % ish
The differences though are significant
1) That I know WHY I dislike you and therefore I can regard you as the insignificant sad joke that you regularly show yourself to be - you're a completely inadequate clown in as much as that ALL that you have in your behaviour and linguistic tool box is coarse and insulting language. Slapstick_Ram would suit you well ... nah, slapstick is funny ...
2) I don't really give a toss why you dislike me so nothing you say ever bothers me ... whereas I could post something like 'Aries is a real stud and a cracking good bloke' and you'd be spinning like a catherine wheel on bonty night cos you'd be reading that I'd just called you 'wooden' ( a stud is a piece of wood used in construction) and you'd read 'cracking' as 'cracked ' and imagine I'd called you a looney... which you probably will become if you keep acting like one eh?
It's no wonder folk from south have such a bad rep ... half witted wanna be pirates who drink weak ale and get caught for conscription as they can't see beyond their own noses ... pompei-ous prat !
I see ... the old smash em down build em up smash em down build em up smash em down routine !
There's some really good people on here, interesting, fun, can handle the craic kind of people, there's a few really quite sad cases, about 1% are sufficiently disturbed to be considered 'probably criminally dangerous' (that's around 8 x's higher than the general population at large) and then there's the majority ... those lead lives of quiet desperation and are easily agitated, jump on bandwagons, form cliques and generate malicious gossip 'in the background'
Sometimes I have time to pass and it's good practice for debating in other circles and of course for the stand up routine ... though most audiences are whole lot faster, sharper and more 'on the ball' than this barrel of crackers
So, what's YOUR reason for paying me so much attention - if I'm really as appalling as you try to make me out to be ?
Brief interlude - while I pop out for some popcorn and lollies - don't feel offended or imply anything negative (like you think y'all won) or that I crashed and died over the keyboard ...
He was just being a good kiwi, acting in defence of this small and wonderful nation that punches above it's weight etc etc and pointing out 'Im not a Kiwi'
Bugg*r me ... there IS a dinosaur left on the planet ... who;d have thought a dinosaur would be called Mike and could use the net?
Never mind, as I mentioned earlier (from Desiderata) 'even the dull and ignorant have their stories' and I'm sure Mike's conduct would be understandable if we were able to 'look back through his files ...'
More or less an expected reply from you - my best guess would be that you didn't actually read it all, and that had you done so you'd not have understood it anyway.
A with Loupy you're another one who posts 'on the attack' in threads where you took no part in the actual conversation
