The old ICL key punches had an option to set the registration to
either 40 or 65 column cards

Oo. I never saw anything like that and I saw stuff that was too old
even for the ark. 80 column stuff feeding proper computers and a little
bit of 40 column round hole mechanical stuff in the basements of certain
gummint buildings

Well who would have thought about the scope of technology being so broad
even in them there far off days?

 

Ah - but we don't smell of wee.. and have proper bikes.

Phil

 

*Sigh*.

You are a literal-minded little man are you not?

Anyway - someone who lied for *a year* about possession of a bike that
they didn't in fact have is hardly in a position to get on their high
horse about lying nach eil?

It's not wee, it's two stroke.

Mine is a proper bike. OK it has got a cylinder missing but it halfway
there.

 

ITYM you built it.

Oh ****, I'm in trouble.

 

An idiot auditer at a ex-building society asked for a details of
*all* mortgages which were showing a negative balance [1] to be
delivered to his office.

A few days later, he got a call from the porters asking what he wanted
doing with the truck full of printout which had just turned up.

[1] That will be all 1.5 million of them then.

 

Um.. that has nothing to do with me. Or do you believe that I am
somehow 'tainted' by association? Or that because I'm British I have no
right to accuse anyone else of lying? Or that I am incapable of holding
an opinion that is significantly different from what you percieve to be
the social norm?

I think that is called racism[1].. A bit like your assertion that
France/The French are in every way superior to elsewhere.

Here is a free hint for you Des - You lied. When asked directly about
it you lied. Whether or not it was the business of UKRM to ask - you
lied. And in attempt to cover up those lies you asked other people to
lie (by omission or commission) on your behalf.

And as to whether your iR1 has anything to do with UKRM - the M bit
stands for 'motorcycles'. Which means that your R1 is quite firmly
on-topic and on-charter for the group. It doesn't float my boat but
there are some people who get quite annoyed by people who lie about
posessing bikes that they don't. Which you did.

*Plenty* of people have credibility on ukrm. The fact that you recognise
that, and yet it constantly eludes you, is what keeps you as our little
puppy always coming back hoping for a little tummy tickle and yet never put
off when you get a slap on the nose. It's really your most endearing
quality.

 

Phil Launchbury wrote

Absolutely fucking right. If you are as truly British as you say Sir
then you know full well that Johnny Foreigner does not lie, he is merely
mistaken.

 

Oh no they don't..

Oh yes they do...

Look out Mr Punch, it's the crocodile and he's stolen your sausages!

 

Awww, Des no want to play anymore? Is it a bit of a struggle for you?

 

I dunno, I see you getting slapped left right and centre by everyone and the
best you have is some lines you nicked from Bear when you tried to deal with
that little confrontation a while ago. Of course, he didn't have your
shattered psyche so it was kind of easier to buy from him. You though- nah.
It doesn't work. I'm sure he'd be flattered though.

If it's in the .sig it's public business.

 

Whatever. Yawn.

All Bear's lines, I'm afraid. How ironic, although understandable. At least
it shows you _can_ learn something.

 

Des, I'll repeat this. However much you send yourself into laughter epilepsy
with your much self-appreciated sarcasm the fact remains you think that by
emulating Bear you'll have the same degree of success, but you won't.
Accept this and move on. Everyone's got a part to play and yours is twat.

 

Said puppy requires training - any thoughts about the merit of
electric shock collars?
