Plan B Forum

In ten mins, for the rugby.
We'll have Hen's ipad with us, so should be in some form of contact with the board.

There is something amazing about going to a city that is so large you are more alone when you are closer to people than what would be considered normal.

People in Sydney are considered normal?

well most seem normal when your basis of comparison is Gob

Oy ! I heard that!!

Makes a change. You got em turned on today, you deaf old bugger!!

Sydney's population is about 1/5th of the population of New York City.

You've got a long way to go before you can claim that the people of Sydney are anywhere nearly as uncaring as those in our most populated city.

Appreciate what you've got while you can and try not to be like us.

I understand they have funny accents in Sydney....

Don't speak English properly like they do in Canberra...

Joe, Sydney isn't uncaring, but like most big cities it's impersonal. Any city in which you can spend the day in safety, while dressed like a cmplete lunatic, as I wil be today, has a lot going for it! We were happy for Hatch and a group of girlfriends to come up here for a girly day out unaccompanied by an adult, when they were 16 yrs old.

Daisy, I heard that too!

Jim, they talk fucking funny here. But, fortunately there's loads of Welsh people here for the rugby, and they are talking tidy like.

Welsh tidy = cursing in general, and not about your mother.

Completely incorrect.

Tidy!

As ever our resident obsessive troll knows nothing of what she speaks, and demonstrates her stupendous ignorance.

Still, it's rather sweet having her follow me about like a lost puppy, leaving her little droppings on the mat.

Or else; was making a joke, you got butthurt about ...again.




The butthurt say:

Seriously Lo, if that was your idea of "a joke", then If I were you I'd drop the idea of being funny here, and stick to what you are good at.

Any time I spend in a major capital such as Sydney, always makes me grateful to return home to Canberra.

This trip came at a perfect time for me. I was starting to imagine that Canberra was too big. I certainly have regained my perspective.

I don't know. Two out of three examples managed a highly intelligent use of the f word without mentioning anyone's mother.

Jus' sayin'

Here's the problem, LoCa:

Because of the record here, comments that you make about Strop or Hen that might be seen as "jokes" (albeit weak ones) if made by others , will most likely be seen as "trolling" when made by you....

I doubt anyone here is ever going to see a sarcastic comment that you direct towards either of them as "good natured ribbing", because you clearly do not have that sort of relationship....

Now, you can say this means you are being "singled out" or "held to a different standard" and in a sense, you'd be right....

BUT you are being "singled out" for reasons that are entirely of your own making; you are being "held to a different standard" because of the track record of trolling these folks that you yourself compiled....

To draw an analogy....

If you're out for a stroll and you see someone standing on the sidewalk looking at a house, you're likely to think, (if you think anything about it at all) that the person must see something about the house they like, or maybe they used to live there, or they have friends who live there, etc.

On the other hand, if you see a known and convicted cat burglar standing on the sidewalk looking at a house, your assumptions about their intent are likely to be quite different....

And .... It is now time for us to wend our way back.

I'll get this thread back on track!

Jim, pass the jello!
