    Just read this, have you heard 'sarcasism is the worst form of wit' well i say it's the best put down.

    i used to be able to do it, but with age i haven't, and oh how i wish i was like you shiney & john. i could 'discuss' loads of things even without knowing the actual facts (i know i do it now but in a much more humble way i think you'll agree :D ), i love someone, not literally, who knows what they're talking about. so few do today.

    so good for you, for sorting things, so many of us can't.

    cheers

    I prefer to think that sarcasm is the highest form of vulgarity. ;) ;)

    Oh and borrowers, if there are 'facts', then there is nothing to discuss. One can discuss opinions and conjectures, one can attempt to refute opinions and conjectures but empirical facts are...well facts, and so are pretty boring except when someone uses an argument like, 'don't confuse the issue with facts.' It's opinions that are interesting because I doubt if any 2 people would agree 100% on everything, oh except of course Boss lady and me. She has stated that she agrees totally with me on everything. She tells me what to say and then agrees with me, it's simple. :D :D

    just one thing john,
    facts are good - but they appear to change with time. of course (seriously for a moment) knowledge changes.

    how come one minute (year, decade whatever) one thing is just so. then the next it's not. i'm talking from an ignorant persons point of view. the word 'ignorant' is not used in my case as an insult, just what it means.

    you are obviously very well educated & i do appreciate everything you say on here (the whole website) but don't always understand it. that's part of the reason i'm here though.

    of course i'm a woman so i know more than you anyway ;) important things i mean, like colour co-ordinating, shopping and the like.

    look forward to hearing from you - flip, i've upset someone now.

    cheers

    Of course you've upset someone. You are dead right but you are talking the phil... word. Yes, facts change in the light of new knowledge. Maybe facts are more changeable than opinions. Opinions never seem to change. Which is a shame because for ordinary people, they are the only things we can argue about. [​IMG] :confused:

    All us men know that you women know more than us. We are just too pigheaded to admit it :D :D . That's why you have to keep reminding us [​IMG] :D [​IMG]

    I don't talk intelectual at all so you would all soon be bored to tears in my company and I would probably fall asleep in yours [​IMG] :D :D

    Hey Kandy. No, I don't think I would be bored in your company at all. Just because somebody knows a lot of long words like 'elastic' (well you can stretch it) doesn't mean they have to use them all the time for the fun of it.

    Just the other day I was talking to a chicken. She looked at me and said 'Cluck, cluck, cluck' and I looked at her and said 'Cluck, cluck, cluck'. Then we both got arrested for using foul language. [​IMG]

    (Sorry about that). :rolleyes:

    But one of my best mates is a retired dustman and we still make him buy his round ('cos he's richer than us). Another one has been unemployed for years and has a Master of Arts degree from Oxford. It isn't what your qualifications are that matter. It's who you are in the sense of being you. [​IMG]

    I think we are bored because it's November and there is nothing interesting in the garden. (Except my new g.house should arrive next week or the week after.)

    Then you try and shut me up about that.

    Borrowrs,

    Just read my signature, says it all really. Personally I like to make up words (as Sarra knows - such as waffle board which I understand you did a model out of didn'y you John? :D )

    Phitomicalature, sounds very grand doesn't it, a made up word with a made up meaning, it is all about the green colour grading of leaves in plants i have decided :D
