Oh gawd, not sure I can take another coffee.

Try a covfefe....

[woohoo]

That's only because you are old and decrepit.

I prefer to think of it as being easily bored, it's a bit late but off for a coffee.

Every time I read one of your posts I need to get a coffee to keep me awake.

If we had listened to AtW, the UK would be in the Euro now......

Sorry I can't think of any more insults. Please add your own insults.

Don't worry, you can insult other posters in post 2 onwards.

Opps. I forgot. Of course, the rules have changed recently so you can start threads insulting others....

WHS

You need another. That passive aggressive bite is hardly scratching the surface. Get a grip, man!

[woohoo]

But it's not an interrogative structure, e.g.



Instead he posted:



So it is a statement of fact (wrapped up in an indirect statement: 'I thought that...'), not a question. The question mark, however, is not strictly a correct usage, although in informal usage, it could be defended stylistically.

You asked a question, you even put a question mark on the end. So no, you did not just state a fact, you asked a question.

It's the ? at the end of the question that gives this away.

So a question...

Is sassy a little bit of a dick?

compared to a statement.

Sassy is a little bit of a dick.

Unless of course you are referring to the first line of your post "I'm confused." Yes that is a factual statement.

But it's not an interrogative structure, e.g.

Isn't it a fact that AtW is a successful multimillionaire entrepreneur and you're just an unemployed gobtulipe?

Instead he posted:

I thought it was a fact that AtW is a successful multimillionaire entrepreneur and you're just an unemployed gobtulipe?

Sassy, you have got an awful lot of things wrong. But I like it that you keep posting and ignoring the insults.

Do you understand set theory?

[woohoo]

I'm confused.
I thought it was a fact that AtW is a successful multimillionaire entrepreneur and you're just an unemployed gobshite?
Have I got something wrong?

I thought he was just stating a fact, so now it's an automatic ban to start a fact thread.

He started an insulting thread. The fact that he is too uneducated to get the grammar correct in a four word phrase was mitigation enough to plea bargain in it down to one day.

atW figured in a dream I had last night. Can't remember the details but something about leaving past-their-sell-by-date bananas on busses to promote something.

Was it a sexy dream?
