We had almost finished the thread conversation, and were packing up, when you arrived, being angry and rude.

Obvious, Samphire.

Er? Eh? Is that supposed to be in the story thread?

Hey! Another idea for a silly story! Man creates a new sockie on CUK and posts a thread that annoys another of his sockies. They start trolling each other and in the end he tracks himself down to his own house an shoots himself. Cheers D.

Damn. Artichoke has lost it too.

Try salsify.

[mudskipper]

It has just dropped off that spot.

That position is now enjoyed by the artichoke.

I often wonder about beetroot. I want to know which is the least talked about vegetable on the earth.
And I often wonder if it is beetroot

4) I learned that there are shades of beetroot. (I only learned that today.)

I learned

1) that I like port (am reconfirming this as we speak)
2) the meaning of the word "recuse"
3) that 0870 numbers cost 45p per minute from my mobile

Think that's it.

We had almost finished the thread conversation, and were packing up, when you arrived, being angry and rude.

Eschewing the usual pleasantries exhanged at the beginning of a conversation, you chose to angrily snap "Is that what you wrote?" at us.

Believing that for some reason you were interested in the information provided, perchance to peruse the knowledge you might gain, we left it with you and said "No, you can have it."

You read it, and for some reason this confused you. And made you ruderer and angrier.

You then replied, snapping, "Is this what YOU think?" My reactions sloshed about but, luckily for you, I wasn't offended. It's a Serious Thing to mess with an Englishman's ideas and thoughts.

I then gathered your drift. You were asking in an angry and rude way if you could parry with us. But instead of asking in a normal way, you were being a rude and angry boor.

Realising that you were a rude and angry information-sloshing boor, I decided to mess with your tiny mind. I summoned up my best plummy English public school accent, and spoke loud enough for everyone else to hear, "I'm sorry, I think you're trying to ask in a rude round-about way if you can join in and reply. Why don't you just ask if you can reply here politely, and we'll probably say 'Yes'."

Your face began to turn a strange shade of beetroot, and you stammered, "There's no need to be so rude."

I replied, "No, I think you're being rude, but if you ask nicely, of course you can join in."

Unfortunately, this magnanimous gesture was not taken up. Instead you muttered to your cohorts, threatening to call me horrible names. Charming!

You continued to be rude, whilst I continued to ask if you'd like to reply coherently and factually. Some part of your brain is broken, as instead of doing this, you continued being angry and rude.

Eventually, we finally asked "Would you like to join in as an adult or not?"

You all replied "No", and we replied "Okay, bye then!", turned away from you, and continued our conversation, that you had so rudely (and angrily) interrupted.

You stormed off to find another thread, and left your dull-witted cohorts aimlessly in the thread. They confusedly told us that "There was no need to be so rude. You only had to ask."

I corrected them, telling her "No, HE only needed to ask politely and reply factually and politely." They walked off burbling incoherently to herself.

You eventually, after a few minutes, found another thread to join, and started your incorrect theme fuming and glaring at me. The other participants were all looking at you and commenting on how rude and stupid you'd been and laughing at you which seemed to be winding you up.

I tried to show that there were no hard feelings by smiling and winking at you, but this seemed to make you even angrier. You were trying to decide whether or not to move back to our thread and make a scene again, and the will-I wont'-I hovering maneuver you were making between threads as you couldn't decide was so sweet to watch.

We finished our conversation, and as we left, some normal people came over and showed you how it should be done: "Hello, that was interesting? Do you mind if we continue the theme of the thread in a correct and factual manner when you leave?" And we smiled at them and told them to feel free, and smiled at you and watched your crimson physog and stand-up-sit-down dance, and the overall effect was that it looked a bit like you were straining to have a poo in your pants.

In retrospect, I think I was a bit of a twat for winding you up...

Do you have an American spellchecker?

Yes. I discovered that in 2015....

[darmstadt]

CUK is full generalizations, extrapolations and trolling.

Hang on - I discovered that in 2006.
