It certainly is, miss! Thought the eel-addition would make the reference a bit too obvious though - which would make it unsuitable for this forum.

We all feel their pain. However, the world of crap is very interesting - actually, you can even enjoy crap without understanding it! In all honesty, I crap every day and I really would not want to miss it. Moreover, crap is just very multifunctional.

If you'd ask me, then I'd say: "the more crap, the merrier".

Absolutely. Gives you a moment to think while taking the piss.

<Do you understand *sarcasm*>

No, that wasn't a thought.

This venerable forum has never employed disinfectant. Well, just once, on me. No ignore lists, no banning. Let it stand. Stet.

But, hey, life's too short. Mr Chapman - I presume it is he, as most other so-called Lennon fans are not vicious little venom-spewing toads. Unless he meant Lenin, of course. Anyhoo, he's on the cusp of never coming back.

It's amusing to see <dak> have him for breakfast, but it's too *easy*, innit?

I wonder which Lennon song inspired the Oik with no brain. There's a note of resentment there ... maybe 'Working Class Hero' ...?

"And you think you're so clever and classless and free/ but you're still @#$%* peasants as far as I can see".

Hadn't seen it yet! Glad to say that the clues which I missed due to absence were clues I would've missed either way :D

I was put off the stuff permanently by living in houses divided into bedsits, where everything was impregnated with odour of boiled cabbage.

John Cooper Clarke has some nice lines about this phenomenon, in 'Beasley Street':

"From the boarding houses and the bedsits full of accidents and fleas ... Where the perishing stink of squalor impregnates the walls ... the smell of yesterday's cabbage and the ghost of last year's wife ..."

I'm reminded of the story about a witless, gormless and unprepossessing male having the temerity to lust after a lady way out of his league, and actually daring to say "I'd like to have my way with you, luv".

The reply comes.
"Well, if you did, and I ever found out about it, I'd be quite annoyed."

Or something like that. Lemming wouldn't be the first fool to drag others over the cliff with him.

<H> "delete the posts without comment"?

Good heavens man, there are almost 700 pages of comments in here. It would take a week to delete them.

And they don't let you commit seppuku around these parts either.

For example, say you wanted all your posts deleted from your forum, but were too lazy to do it.

You could start a dirty limerick contest!

Sadly, however, that didn't work...

but <Dom> sure had to.

Myself I do not wish to fit "group dynamic" in general, but in this case I will make an exception and speak out for a rare handful of people that have made eachothers cyber- and real lives that tiny bit more worthwhile, fun, aggavating at times, but ever so more helpful and forming.

Those things you have aren't opinions, and you should try learning to spell.

In your case, however, the lowercase 'i' is appropriate. You could hang onto that as a kind of trademark.

Now piss off. I don't like deletings and ignorings, and if I put you on the list it would make you feel less insignificant than you currently do.

They should try that "free country" stuff in any number of countries that are considerably less free than they might be. The criticism is likely to be permanent.
