En Passant

No idea at all why I should have felt reminded about this.... Yeah, ok - I do really.

Have you unblocked him again? Don't get me wrong, I've tried but it doesn't really work. You see replies and if unquoted you wonder what prompted them, and if quoted there was no point to the block in the first place. And Crem, he's absolutely spot on - pouring out pointless shite to tens or hundreds of people to counter your 'personal' mood swings is unutterably selfish, can you not see that?

Depending on the sort of thing that floats ones boat so to speak, I thought this was one of the best things to be produced in years. Oldman's laconic style is wonderous.

Nobody here is hoping for any such thing. But I'm damn sure it continues for us, give it a fucking rest will you? (and no boss, @Paul Bearer, I'm not deliberately winding him up here)

I thought it was a type of cheese.

I've wondered about her, she was a no-nonsense, concise and thoughtful poster who's content I've missed. That's not terribly old though, probably just wandered off as some do.

I know, well, I've seen it before of course, it's almost a bloody trope, I just didn't look back up this thread if it's there. If it's not it's valid isn't it? Even as a repetition of said trope. Anyway, he's not the only one of course, applies to teams even. IME it would seem that mostly it's the Scots and Welsh who 'start' this. And the English respond in kind a bit? Mystified me when I was younger. For some reason this doesn't seem to be the case with NI so much, (despite, or probably even because of 'the troubles'). It always seems to be reasonably good natured with the Scots that I've ever noticed, but I know of cases, apocryphal is a possibility, of it being genuinely felt and said by the Welsh. For the record, I love everybody (and twice on a Sunday)

It's variable depending on results. When Andy Murray wins, he's British. When he loses, he's a Scot.

Why? If something stands the test of time? Beethoven Mozart and others are still awesome. Shakespeare is still relevant in many ways. Leonardo da Vinci is still a wonder. Dad's army is practically contemporary by comparison and is no less funny now than it was then.

Only 77 more pages to Get Carter as of now.

Just as well most things are online now you'd need a second mortgage for a first class stamp lately. Another utility (using the term loosely) that should never have been privatised. Has anyone not seen the ITV drama yet? If not please please do so :).

Any chance you could get banned again?

I don't like facebook (or Zuck). But I know no other way to connect with folks I've lost touch with over the years. A couple of people I'm glad to know would probably have been lost forever without it. I use a chrome extension to cut some of the crap, it's partially effective. Also, for some reason our local pool league insists on results being posted/amalgamated on there, so I'd have to have it just for that.

No fucking idea. But it wasn't me . We've disagreed about a bunch - but that's silly. Oh, and I have zero admin rights, and if I did? You mate, would not be even close to where I'd apply them. (luv ya).

It'll be a fine admin that blocks my splendiforous input. And yes, I probably made that word up as I went along. Incidentally DI likely has a point here.
