En Passant

Pah, Just because you live in what I suppose I have to term Old Brighton now, you'd know this. It was Liverpool in the Guardian which is all I had to go on :P. Good spot. ETA: I preferred Nicola Bryant.

Ahhh, this was in the Grauniad live, its a pub somewhere in Liverpool that the landlord renamed. Fair play.

Not really Oscar Wilde level of wit is it? * The man in the in the most powerful office in the world (I can't bring myself to say "the most powerful man in the world" just can't), posting something a 12 year old would call a 10 year old out on as being childish. Biden is 77, Trump is 74. *For the record, this is aimed at Trump not Kenny for posting it .

I know what cropping is, I know what a meme is. I was only pointing out that the phrase you used would have made no sense in the 80's (and a fair bit of the 90's) due to evolving language. It wasn't, as toast has pointed out, a personal attack, only you have read it as such, nobody else. Even if one hadn't read the motorsport thread where the subject of current language use was initiated it stands alone here as a comment about language not a personal insult. Your attack dog response was rude and un-necessary and is further based on a fundamentally unsound premise that you were condescended to in the first place, you weren't. You appear to be the only person who doesn't perceive it this way so I re-iterate, this is why you get in these fights more than most.

Nowhere in my post do I insult you, I don't even claim there is anything wrong with what you have written. You wondered why you get in all these arguments all the time? This is why.

I think. and gif is either, soft or hard g. stand to be corrected though. (I use hard. fnar)

The generational divide. In 1985 or so when some of us were teens, and some were already adults, this would have been gibberish. Crop only related to plants in a field, and memes would have meant reaching for a dictionary, the dead trees kind. At least 'your' hasn't changed. ETA: Oh and for @The Quim Reaper this is where I have no problem with the 'evolution' rather than the 'Americanisation', of language mate. Two of the three words do not mean, or have additional meaning, to what they did 30 odd years ago. No problems with that. Winningest still sucks the big one though.

Stop toying with us, say what you really think. I'm thinking of setting up a snacking (and possibly gifting) stand down at Peckham market and trousering the the proceeds, though I probably couldn't do that last part if I chose set it up in the US rather than Peckham since that would presumably be panting the proceeds which makes no sense, or rather, even less sense. Anyway didn't we do most of this in an Americanisms (or words we hate or something...) thread a bit ago? And winningest wonningmost by a margin. It drives me crazy too, but I'd imagine it's a now a Sisyphean task to stop this deluge due, I guess, to the dominance of the US in the spheres of TV, film and to some degree the internet.

Ferrier, a politician and Cummings, a political adviser get caught red handed and neither resigns. Neil Ferguson, a scientist and scientific adviser to politicians, somebody with some actual useful knowledge - resigns almost immediately. Figures.

Got a sub and a 4k tv?

This is how toxic he is. Just posting in a thread named after him gradually turns otherwise normal rational folks into massively opinionated insult hurling boors. I'll need to get vaccinated quick sharp..

See where a throwaway 'edgy' gets you if you don't think it through? Heck I've posted some crap, but I then wound my neck in when it was rightly pointed out. I'd advise stopping. Or at least slowing down and thinking for a while before.... Oh, and I had to look up 'triggered' as a thing, i.e. without an object. Gratified to discover it was nothing to do with replacing broom heads and handles tbh.

The man is fucking toxic, his self serving self aggrandizing policies are now actually killing people. If he had just taken his 400m inheritance and pissed it all away fine, whatever. He didn't though, and thus wanting rid by whatever means, particularly in a humourous post on a forum is where 'morality' lies in this instance.

FS Kenny, I'm doing my absolute best to appreciate your comments and not tar you as a 20 (odd) year old with no fuckin idea. Lard is bang on the money. Help us out here, think a bit, you're not daft, but this is not your best response.

I did a little dance, well as much as one ethically can without it being in poor taste. And then realised it says Robson not Robinson.

@Toast Slacker.

Not so fast Tonto, his posts are terrible and boring but..... The frustrated replies are comedy gold. PS: possibly even including some of mine.

My Maserati does 185, I lost my licence so now I don't drive...and what's more I'm not voting Republican again.

Not really up on a lot of these folks being in the UK, so the Federal ones I mostly know but not the individual states. However: Colin Powell, Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina - These I know and it's hardly shocking, no matter what ones opinion of them individually they are mostly no-nonsense military or business leader types and very likely of a realistic rather than principle led persuasion I'd have thought. But..... Mitt Romney?

Sure this must have been posted on here by now and I just missed it, but just in case it hasn't. Complete Bellend, I genuinely have no fucking idea at all how anyone can vote for him or our mini-me version. Anyone would spot this narcissistic type in the pub in 5 minutes flat and swerve as if on a head on collision with a 40 ton artic. I'm completely mystified.

You really are a quality piece of work aren't you? 40 years younger than you? So it's ok for you to be old but not.....ok I'm out of words. Coffin Lodger, Iain.

No dedication clearly. Company car? From Basildon to Sarfend? Corona or not, stay home it makes little difference.

And whilst you are at it. Iain can go the same way. End of the day, we (possibly more than your average bear given the site and the content), know that life is finite. It's a giggle or it's nothing. Deathers was a a giggle, Steve and Iain aren't. Life 'really' is too short. ETA: With a semi-serious hat on glad it's not my call. GL to @The Quim Reaper as a mod, rather you than me Essex Boy.
