I am the monster that you all created. I am your fear, your worst nightmare. I am everything you hate, your prejudice, your conceit, your folly.

I am the Jabberwocky.

And unlike DCJ, Knobjockey's mum doesn't bake a nice bit of cake.

[sasguru]

KnobJockey is another school boy in the mould of the late unlamented DCJ. His mum shuts him in his room with the computer, while she turns tricks with the punters in the living room. So you'll have to forgive him.

Honestly JW, I doubt you could get hold of the right end of the stick if it only had one end.

[The Lone Gunman]

Maybe one day you will discover sex where another human is involved

Shouldnt that be any

[Jabberwocky]

Hilarious JW, and up to your usual standard of witty retort. Impossible to spot the relevance mind you, but that's never stopped you before has it?
Do elaborate, just in case there is any humour in there.

I am sorry I thought you were the sb who ran the fruit and veg stall. If you have some higher function then please forgive me.

Hey Knobjockey, my old American chum. How's it going in the world of the fundamentalist christian international communist revolution?

You don't create an Empire like wot we dun by playing fair.

You mean like this?

Edmund: Well, you see, George, I did like it, back in the old days when the
prerequisite of a British campaign was that the enemy should under
no circumstances carry guns -- even spears made us think twice. The
kind of people we liked to fight were two feet tall and armed with
dry grass.

George: Now, come off it, sir -- what about Mboto Gorge, for heaven's sake?

Edmund: Yes, that was a bit of a nasty one -- ten thousand Watusi warriors
armed to the teeth with kiwi fruit and guava halves. After the battle,
instead of taking prisoners, we simply made a huge fruit salad. No,
when I joined up, I never imagined anything as awful as this war.
I'd had fifteen years of military experience, perfecting the art of
ordering a pink gin and saying "Do you do it doggy-doggy?" in
Swahili, and then suddenly four-and-a-half million heavily armed
Germans hoved into view. That was a shock, I can tell you.

I get my surges by looking over finely tuned C++ code. There is the thrill of the bug hunt, the joy of an optimisation and the contentment of a satisfied customer.

Life must be one big bowl of cherries for you. Maybe one day you will discover sex where another human is involved, and that will shatter this cosy existence of yours.

[ladymuck]

I don't see why people watch this stuff. Sure you if are taking part there is an adrenalin surge, but just watching in your armchair - where is the achievement in that.

You sound like my other half! Except he hates C++.

Before the game started the Aussie press were talking about having Australia split into its states and entered seperatly. In the last games New South Wales would have got more medals than anyone else on their own without the help of the other states.

[Lucifer Box]

What amuses me is how brilliantly well we're doing - winning lots of medals and the like. Of course, competing against the likes of IoM, Jersey, and some tinpot principality no-one's ever heard of is going to give us a decent advantage. If Australia weren't part of the 'commonwealth' we'd be top of the league table!
