It's sort of drizzling off and on. I was vaguely considering taking the outfit off round the lanes for half an hour or so, but I've had a decent pub lunch and there are new strings waiting to go on a couple of the guitars. The Lulsgate skidpan is immensely cheering. Filton should be Bristol's third airport, and all the nimbys who blocked it should be buttfucked with branches. As, indeed, should the useless tossers responsible for Concorde spending another winter sitting out in the weather. Fucking disgraceful, that. It's not like every square inch of every hangar is full.
We landed at a very wet Brizzle on Tuesday evening, on Easyjet, & survived. I can't believe how lucky we were with flights. A couple of days before we left, everything was shutdown due to fog. A couple of days after we got back, everything was shutdown due to slippy runways. Should've bought a lottery ticket last week methinks. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
Too many manhole covers. Actually, if it's a road contractor they might have used some tarmac compound that's just not suitable for runways.
If his point was that he was wrong about Alastair (whoever he is) then I don't see any reason why he should have raised TOG in this post; raising TOG was hardly graceful.
Do you *really* need the background? OK: Alastair came here asking for clocks for an MTX80 and when he didn't like the replies he got mildly rebuked. Then on the ns board I asked if he was the same Alastair (it could have been coincidence) and he replied that he was and all of ukrm were tossers, especially the ones who replied to him on here. So I replied on the ns board that, actually, most here were not tossers that, for example at least one of the people who had replied to him was a jolly nice chap and, as a throw away line at the end, added (as he had called all of ukrm it) TOG (another respondee) *was* as he had described. This was distributed to TOG who then posted on here in what I can only assume was some attempt to try and belittle me on a quiet posting day. And then it snowballed. But TOG did say he was proud to be an "arrogant tosser" and so I let the title stay with him as he says he's proud to be called it. If he'd said "No I'm not, I'm just opinionated" or similar, I may not have added the bit at the end of the first post in this thread but he didn't and it's done now. Just out of interest, how could I have been more balanced? Should I have said "I was wrong about TOG, even though he agrees with the title"? That would be absurd. It was no longer an opinion at the time of writing, it was an accepted statement and as clear, and as balanced, as "WavyDavy lives in France", for example. Dave
**** off. I'm not arrogant. I'm just right more often than everyone else. And anyone who says different is a know-nothing arsehole.
Well, you could have risen above it and not bothered to post anything about who was 'right' and who was 'wrong'. Why does it matter?
In uk.rec.motorcycles, WavyDavy(Mobile) belched forth and ejected the following: What do you mean "there's no need for a war"?
In uk.rec.motorcycles, belched forth and ejected the following: There'll also be pictures of his bollocks on the internet.
And the only reply I gave to his question "Has anyone got..." was a "No". hardly an insult, is it? *NO I FUCKING DIDN'T* I just admitted to being arrogant. I never, ever said I was proud to be. Now *why* are you so insistent on lying, and continuing to lie? Go back and look at the previous thread. Go and look at the thread. Oh, **** it, let me do it for you. Me: "Hardly. I've had every epithet you've named, and more, thrown at me over the decades. It's all true: I am an arrogant tosser. I shall go to my grave like that." Do you see the word proud there at all? Anywhere? Do you, punk? No. Because it was used in this other posting: STARTS "WavyDavy is a liar."? Well done, now you really have got me irritated, because you're a lying sack of shit who is cutting and pasting posts together to give yourself what you think is ammunition. This really is where you ought to apologise.
