You seem to forget that it is not meant to keep you or your left/right hand happy but your human partner happy!

I have just thought of a really brilliant idea! Let us create an AN Data base of all the posters who are on an ignore list and who put them on it. An even better idea is to conduct a poll/vote on who should be put on such a list and by whom! I know it is against the rules but the idea of just such a utopian idea really excites me! Any takers?

Øa state of affairs that appears perversely contrary to what one expects. Ø(also dramatic or tragic irony) a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

Recently someone made a post (Poster B) which had a completed quote from an earlier poster (poster A) as part of his response. I copied and quoted a phrase from that original earlier poster (Poster A) from inside Poster B's response but my quote showed it to have come from Poster B and not the original Poster A. Poster B quite rightly was not happy that I had attributed the original quote to him (Poster B) to Poster A's post! Is this something new or have I just been doing it wrong all along!

If it is "safe enough' or suitable or whatever on that day to drink/stay open till 6AM why is not suitable etc on any other day of the year? -
Despite Washington’s confidence, US war with Iran would be disastrous
scottiejohn replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Are you trying to say that it would be easy for China to invade Taiwan? There is little point in China taking over a completely obliterated Taiwan by invasion! First it would be very difficult to hide the build up of the forces required to carry out such an invasion and the west would react! Secondly Taiwan does not have many "Normandy/D Day" type of landing beaches! Taiwan has rugged and indented shorelines, mountainous topography, and a populace with intimate acquaintanceship with its strategic features. Its armed forces will turn them to maximum effect along with many anti sea and air invasion defences including pre-laid remote controlled anti ship sea mines on the approaches to the few suitable beaches and harbours! The most dangerous and costly form of warfare is an assault from the sea! Taiwan’s Geography Will Greatly Complicate a Chinese Invasion | The National Interest -

French restaurant in the city, with resident parrrot ?
scottiejohn replied to Goosander's topic in Chiang Mai
I do not know of a French bar with parrots but there is an Arabic bar in Anusarn Market where the owner keeps two Parrots! It is called "Aisha Thai Food" next door to O'Malley's Irish Bar! -
