Well I understand I can sometimes be one, yes. To accuse me of being one unfailingly, however, is inaccurate, one must say.

.... - as soon as I arranged this trip of mine I sensed something close to weary resignation about how we'd cop it from *certain areas*

Look, you cannot judge whether you are a depressive and joyless gimp objectively. So you cannot say whether you are being accused accurately or not.

Secondly, your trying to explain me referring to what Neil said when you could have just not taken it as seriously.

Thirdly, it is a general bit of fun. You being uptight over it and saying it comes from certain quarters is again pretty dire. Any one can do it. It was just FUN!

Absolutely stupid.

I'm actually rather better-placed to judge it than anyone else on here, thanks very much. :dry:

I WASN'T TAKING IT SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!! I tried to phrase that sentence as obviously jokey as I could!

Anyone can do it, but it's pretty predictable who will. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just, well, as I say, something I was pretty sure would happen and did. Anyway, as I said (and you excluded from those particular quotes), I'm not really that uptight about it, and can't believe how yet again something has been blown out of proportion (need Rich H or DB with that pic of the teacup-storm again...)

Can we please let this be the end of it?

In the video you sound exactly like someone i know at Uni who's from Somerset, right down to some of the idioms of the region.

Well I assure you, I don't have a Somerset accent and that sound quality isn't the greatest.

You'll see for yourself again in a week's time.

You are in not in an objective position to say it is inaccurate. Your approach is not a logical stem to counter the given point.

You didn't.

It is because you express a big deal by your hyperbole. cop it from certain quarters. What victims!

(need Rich H or DB with that pic of the teacup-storm again...)

Your reactions of hyperbole were very much unwarranted.

I'm really not going to bother arguing this.
You didn't.

Evidently not, but I tried.

I was certain that various people would say what has been said. I don't see how I could phrase it any differently.

If they'd been hyperbolic, yes, they would have been unwarranted. However, they weren't, and I'm trying to get across that fact, and, so far, still failing.

Not really I am sorry to say.

It was hyperbolic by your remarks - whether you take the copping it from certain quarters, 8 year old or whatever. , the banging of head, the 8 year old, yada yada. They were definitely unwarranted.

OK - I accept that my comments could have seemed OTT. I apologise for allowing any semblence of said supposition.

That enough?

This thread's more of a OT thread in CC, TBH.

Arguments can occur anywhere and anytime when I'm around. (And, TBF, several other people - Rodgie, for instance)

Well fellaz, I regret to say that I'm off for the 25th, I've just been diagnosed with a doubly-fractured metacarpus which means I can't drive until it's mended as I can't grip the steering-wheel powerfully enough.
