So your saying that you hadn’t thought of the DS connection?
dude, still in moderation?… it’s been a hour or so… Not adopting Bolt’s style of moderation are you?
Jesus. 3.14pm here… still in moderation… it really is “Bolt World”
Golly….you could hear a pin drop.
JG did good with his Mea culpa
This prolonged moderation, well… Boltish
Naif that I am, I didn’t notice the (apparent not real) congruence on ‘mongrel’ & ‘mongol’ to which this bit of PC alludes.
It’s unfortunately similar to the Prez of some Ivy League uni several years ago who was sacked (actually, forced to resign & issue a grovelling apology -’for his presumably sub literate audience’s misunderstanding) for saying that the school’s forthcoming budget was, in some areas, “niggardly” (etymology – Old Norse for “sparse”) because too many heard & believed it to be related to the dreaded racial ‘N’ word.
O well, guess nobody will ever….
Is it too late to suggest “wag, the dog”? It is? Never mind.
What is funny about “Ian”?
FD you have a unique gift of making everything wrong right and all that’s confusing very clear. I heard about a US President once saying that sometimes everyone can laugh together …at other times only a few but not everyone forever. I think that’s what he meant anyway. PS I love your sparkling advisor fairies.
Sorry gang – I’m supposed to get an email when someone comments – we approve all comments for spam reasons. And I didn’t get the emails. I was complaining just this morning in the office that there were no comments! I am many things, but a resident of Bolt World, no.
Anyway….Spam Box, I am saying I didn’t think of the DS connection. If I had thought of it at the time, I simply wouldn’t have gone with it. Because as Mr Green has said, it isn’t funny. The list was put together in a hurry and blah blah blah….full of good intentions and the end result is still the same.
Adam – Ian is just funny for some reason. A friend of mine knew someone with a cockatiel called Ian.
I am a twit, okay, a nitwit. Maybe I’ve had one glass of wine too many. But I can’t get over Karl Barx. Sure, I love your passion for animals, I love your political perceptions, I love all of you! But Karl Bark reduces me to tears of joy.
You are funny Venise.
ROTFL
Just how wrong could I be?
It would have to be a bloody big pin
to be heard over all this chatter.
BTW I’m with you Venise.
I voted early and often for Karl Barx.
Okay then FD – fair enough
