I respect and could even agree with what you say, but my only question for you is 'Then how should a country be run?' Banshees Scream, I wonder how many other US Americans have ever thought of asking that question? How about "by a bunch of intelligent, competent, honest individuals"?

The Pooka 26 Posted November 25, 2006 Pet Hate no 1 (in an occasional series). Regional TV. In the South it means you hear news about F*****g ghastly places like Hayling Island or Basingstoke that can have no possible interest to anyone outside of their boundaries. At least its improved on the days when: 1. You tuned in to series 1 of Monty Python only to find that a regional documentary on a proposed marina in Brighton had taken precedent 2. You tuned in to watch LWT's BigMatch between Arsenal and Tottenham (100 miles away) only to find that TVS were showing a 'local' match at Gillingham (150 miles away).

Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 26, 2006 Stop yer whining, you've got your own playground now. Take care on the see-saw, we haven't had time to put down the wood-chips yet. We don't want you grazing a knee. So caring and loving and almost how a parent would treat there first born. If you would have talked about buying him a little ice cream cone with one or 'if he's behaving' two scoops I think that I would have collapsed onto the keyboard sobbing. Play nicely with the others, you're not too old to go over my knee. Windsors atleast 18 right? NAUGHTY STEP! NOW! Or I'll take away your trumpet. You once played the trumpet, didn't you? Anubis The Jackal. No no! It's the type of informed debate that I love; the cut and thrust of Wildean repartee, the to and fro of the English Language richocheting from East to West to North to South and all points in-between. The gasps of the crowd as, touche! another finely-honed textual epee finds it's mark. Oh, and sign in next time, Windy, would you? I think Anubis is being emotional. If I sat right next to this man I might get a similar reaction after a sad story of 'Little house on the prairie' or maybe 'Lassie' But maybe it would be better if he cried like a woman. His estranged and died out long ago tongue is a little hard to understand. But it is rather interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 26, 2006 I once tried the Beef Bagpipe if that's what you mean? Well you seem to be a fan of this kind of music. By insulting Windsor and threatning to take his trumpet away also reminded me that I once played the instrument many years ago, but after a few weeks I think that I got tired of carrying it around, so I ditched the heavy black case in front of the corus room to be found.

Handrejka 1,903 Posted November 27, 2006 People who get the words to California Dreamin' wrong. It is not a religious song, he didn't "begin to prayer" he "pretended to pray" and it really winds me up when people sing it wrong.

Guest Star Cross'd Posted November 28, 2006 Trained meteorologists who always get the weather predictions wrong, every single time, without fail. Shitehawks, albeit beautifully-named ones, like you who think that localised meteorology is, somehow, a precise science. "Oh, the weathermen got it wrong again, tut tut. Here's me in my summer dress and it's actually a little bit drizzly..." Try looking out the window, if you can afford one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SC: a parody of himself? Posted November 29, 2006 Did you even read the name of this thread, moron??Yes. Room 101. Which is where your cheap weatherman (ooh, that Michael Fish, I'd have his guts for garters etc.) pseudo-rantoid drivel belongs, simpleton, as indicated by my post above. "People" like you, who would put almost every little thing which you can't control into Room 101, deserve to be the first and, possibly, only things to go into Room 101. Does that concept belong in the Irony thread? And, if so, would that be oxymoronic? It's all gone a bit Schroedinger's cat, disappearing up it's own cute little bum in a tautological mess of internal contradiction, hasn't it? Go and rant somewhere else and keep your "language" and opinions of other DLers to your pathetic self.What? Is that really the best you can do, Six? (no, no, sorry, you're not Six are you; just remarkably like Six) "Opinions of other DLers"? Pardon, "Milady"? I'm pretty good at english comprehension, but your post leaves me baffled. Keep the opinions of others to myself? How exactly does one accomplish that? What are they teaching the kids these days? No wonder there's so many ASBOs being handed out. Your problem, Little Mith Thix, is that you've blown your best material (moron, pathetic) in one post, whereas I could be here all day long (ok you got me, that is quite pathetic) ripping you to itty-bitty shreds without so much as scratching the tippy-tip-tip of my ranting iceberg. Some might say it's what I do best. Sound advice, if you wish to avoid my ire, would be to simply ignore me like mpfc does. He never rises to the bait. But can you summon the intestinal fortitude to let me have the last word? Can you? I can almost hear you sitting there in your bedroom, in your Manchester United boxer shorts, wibbling your testes, scouring www.thesaurus.com for some suitable retort. Now, go play with the other pretend-female DLers and play nice, Six... sorry, Rebecca, or Jonathan, whatever... there's a good little "girl". No throwing your toys out the pram, now, or it'll be the "naughty thtep" for you, you hear me? Room 101? I'd put all these vacuous, fake-female Boudicca wannabes with their been-done-before avatars in there for starters... followed by a can of petrol and a lit match, ideally. Or is that going too far?

TLC 9 Posted November 29, 2006 Buses. Wait ages, then two come along at once. That's just mad! Toast. Always falls butter side down. What's that all about? Eh?!? Mental. Queues. Join one, the other always goes down much quicker. Scientifically proven! By NASA!!! Clowns. Scary!! Aaaaarrrgghhh!! Men and toilet seats. Leave them both up? That's so inconsiderate!!* Sarcasm. The lowest form of wit. Yes, reee-allly. Double positives. Can't form a negative? Yeah, right. Raindrops. Keep falling on my head. Cliches. Should be avoided like the plague.** etc. --- Add a couple of exploding caravans and that should be enough important questions (once question marks have been added of course) to keep 'Brainiacs' going for another series. Maybe not points 7 & 9 though... *My surprisingly ineffective counter-argument is that either both seats should be put down (which I do) or it doesn't matter as both other options are as bad as each other. That's because I thought it was a hygiene based debate rather than a laziness based one. **The official no.1 'joke' for English teachers everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A thousand apologies - it was "your oninions of other DLers" I meant to type. You have serious anger issues, Mr. Hopkins, if that is you - perhaps you and a certain other person who also suffers with this problem could get together and scream at each other and save the rest of us having to "listen" to you. I never did a damn thing to you, so why don't you do a "Shcroedinger's cat" stunt and prove the theory - it's a shame you waste all that obvious intelligence and energy on such puerile pursuits, especially as you apparently regard all others as lesser beings.

When did we stop calling them weathermen or weathergirl and began to referring to them as meteorologists ? In my neck of the woods we do actually have trained meteorologists who give us their expert opinions on the daily weather, at least on some television stations. Other stations do have "weather girls" who read out the experts opinions, trying very hard to pretend that these opinions are their own... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
