    No capital letter after your bang for a start. (An exclamation mark usually
    means that particular sentece is ended). A comma after a space after a
    question mark is not a good example of your command of the written word. Not
    so much illiteracy as shite grammar.

    I did actually know what you and Eddie were cascading but I had to
    Google their discography before I made that post.
    And that's enough of that, too.

  9. There's just one flaw in that argument -- according to Chambers,
    there's no such word as 'obstruse' (they go directly from 'obstruent' to
    'obtain'). ...and given that the 's' in abstruse comes from 'trusum', to
    thrust, I don't particularly buy the typo theory either...

    But, carry on being obstreperously obstinate, if that's your thing.

  10. Going through customs into an African country after a very tiring flight
    I was asked:
    "Do you have a video camera?"
    "I don't have a video camera!"

    [look more tired]

    "Do you have any cigarettes."
    "I don't smoke!"

    [look tired and bored]

    "Do you have any Scotch Whisky?"
    "I don't drink Whisky!"

    [look tired bored and hot]

    "Have you brought anything in to this country for a friend?"

    Now I meant to say no in a different way but what came out in a deep
    voice while looking the guy in the eye was:

    "I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS!"

    He looked at me, stepped back and waved me through.

    Actually, 'obstruse' can be found, variously, spelled as 'obstruce',
    obstruse', 'abstruce', and 'abstruse' - it appears to be one of those words
    where the American spelling and pronunciation is gaining the upper hand.

    Chambers is not the only scholarly work, you know ;)

    To address your latter point - I'm the first to admit that I am defiantly
    and unrepentantly obstinate, and why not? In an increasingly bewildering
    world, where modish fads come and go faster than a front line soldier in a
    mobile brothel, where 'assurance' is derided and where 'certainty' is
    reviled, it's good to have something to hang on to.

    Besides which, I increasingly find that I don't, actually, give a shit about
    what others think - some sort of profound personality disorder, probably,
    but there you go......

    You're a bit of a tease, aren't you Tone? - waggling your bare arse so
    invitingly, then running back home in a panic at the first caress of your
    buttocks.

    Take a tip, lad, stay well away from older gentlemen ;)

    You fucker, I thought 'who are they, why do I know those names?' then
    the sodding theme tune lodged in my head.

    The subject line sounds like an Award ;-)

    Perhaps we could start a *Directly Against Tossers Award*? <DATA>
