Deceitful bastarts that they are... Back in the day we had visitors from head office in the UK visiting us, and we were going to adjourn to the pub. The road there was simple, though could have been simpler, and I explained "Just turn right at the sleeping brown dog". On that one day, it was gone. I have never trusted sleeping dogs since.

For some time now, I have been labouring for under the misapprehension that one of our current posters had offered me a punch in the head, and I continued the to think ill of him for it. Tonight, I reviewed the previous conversations, and that kind offer had been made by someone else altogether. Should I send a PM to apologise for the ill will I have borne this poster, even although I have not recently commented on his posts, and it may well be a surprise that I have ever borne him any disagreement, let alone resentment or ill-will? Notwithstanding the above, I think I and the poster to whom I might apologise might have some ancient difference of opinions, so I would rather not refresh old grudges. If I receive a message “Cowboy, ye’re a Tosser”, I will understand

They should ban people. Maybe the ones you don’t like, or just at random, as a warning. They should employ bots to post upbeat, cheery open-ended comments; or just comments, to keep the hit count up and the advertising revenue coming in… Just a minute… How long ago did that happen? Did you knew that about this, Crossy? ____ Tick here if you are not a robot

Harder to read them, or harder to find them? You could fit your phone up to a VGA projector, or pay a nurse to read them aloud. Finding is not something easy to solve.

I think you misheard him.

Good job wearing a mask for the photo. They’ll never recognise you, and it’ll throw people off the trail - a fictitious character wouldn’t need to preserve their anonymity

Slippery slopes are like ski jumping; it will end up better if you go with some enthusiasm at the start; and if you want to give up, do that at the foot of the stairs, not at the start of the slope.

What is the Secret to Happiness?

Given the level of negativity from such posters, it seems to me that misogyny is not the route to happiness that was earlier implicit in this thread. I am sticking with Ivor Cutler -

Most people would think a bounder a cad, but that would render the term "a bounder and a cad" a tautology, which I am sure it is not. My image of a bounder would be formed by the character in the Monty Python travel agent sketch 'Bounder of Adventure', had I ever seen it visually, but I have only listened to it. -

I think you'll find rounders is baseball in the USA. The moon is not baseballer there, though to be fair, it is singular. When Michael Collins and his friends went to the moon, they had to be careful to go at the time of the month to give them the biggest target. Can you imagine the embarrassment of slipping between the horns of a crescent to embark on an accidental one-way interplanetary adventure? Sometimes, I see people driving quickly on the roads, and I think - if they really needed to get there that urgently, they would have left earlier. If it's not worth leaving early for, it can't be that important. -

Oh, now we've got the PRC shills on the case. 1912 was a long time ago, and you have to accept that Taiwan is independent, whether it is a separate country or not, and that the People's Republic has no more authority over the Republic than vice versa. -

You're not falling for that "the moon is always round" story, are you? Next thing you'll be saying that this earth that is as flat as the earth we stand on is nothing but a marble spinning in an eternal and infinite vacuum, rather than the centre and base for the whole of God's firmament. People have some daft ideas, and there is no need to invent new ones. -
We all get a bit carried away sometimes, and do things we later regret. Blank verse, by way of soliloquy in response, is not something I've attempted yet. The greatest criminal, the regicide, is no different from any other Were we to see him as a victim, not an enemy, as our brother.

I don’t think the sleep you get in a railway station counts as a night - more like a few hours. But Waverley is a better place to wait for morning than St Andrews Square. -

There’s loads of salesmen selling the same God, but there is no God but God, who is available to all his children, regardless of the claims of their brothers. You can make your own mind up about the nature of God, based on what you have been told and seen, but at the end of the day, it is between you and Him, and until then, it is up to you.
