A swing and a miss ey? It's like that time when we tried to discuss developmental disorders in upbringings. You don't listen and you're unwilling to learn, so why should I bother to engage?

Also, with symantics again, I made very certain to add the word 'seem' into there to make sure you didn't think I was making claims of fact, since that assumption 'seems' to mean so much to you.

The long and short is that if most people think you're being a dick, it's safe to assume you're probably being a dick.

Not anymore more candy flaps.

I just typed a page from one of the famous five books into my novel, I hope they let me keep it in

It's very flattering that, evidentially, you read everything I post but that being said the two or three people that expressed an opinion on what I said do not constitute 'most people'

As for 'don't listen and unwilling to learn' well... maybe you could point me to any post you've made that gives your reasons as to why you disagreed with what I said I'd be happy to read it...but you didn't and you haven't so you can't.

As for speaking for most people you really shouldn't, just speak for yourself otherwise you run the risk of being a bit patronising and your comments on what other people think might come accross as a bit unwarranted.

Here it is.

'Mother have you heard about our summer holidays yet?' said Julian at the breakfast table. 'Can we go to Polsheath as usual?'
'I'm afraid not,' said his mother. 'They are quite full up this year.'
The three children at the breakfast table looked at one another with great disappointment. They did so love the house at Polseath. The beach was so lovely there too, and the bathing was fine.
'Cheer up, said Daddy. 'I dare say we will find somewhere just as good for you. And anyway, Mother and I won't be able to go with you this year. Has Mother told you?'
'No! said Anne. 'Oh Mother is it true? Can't you really come on our holidays? You always do.'
'Well, this time Daddy want me to go to Scotland with him,' said Mother. 'All by ourselves! And as you are really getting big enough to look after yourselves, we thought it would be rather fun for you to have a holiday on your own too. But now that you can't go to Polsheath, I don't really quite know where to send you.'
'What about Quentins?' suddenly said Daddy.

If I end up reading one of my old Famous Five books this weekend, I'm blaming you.

Is that like a posh Butlins?

Man, they really loved child endangerment and neglect back then. The Famous Five Abandonment Issues caper was the bestest one.

'Let's go find some sharp sticks to self harm ourselves!'

'Huzzah!'

Shall I assume from that, Marc, you are a number one?

Come on... anybody?... oh come on!
