What do you work as?

All sounds a bit convoluted to be true.

huH?!

huH?!

I knew it! Feigning ignorance is always a tell-tale sign of a fibber.







Paul, I was initially joking, and also am above. Sorry to hear of your current financial peril and that you can't join us for the festivities on this occasion. Best regards.

ok well i kinda did lie, the gf helped me out as early xmas present for the amp and speakers

The lads were over for the ros dinner dance

But, when you put it like "financial peril", you are getting me worried Maybe i should take things more seriously....i dont seem to worry too much, as im lucky it usually works out for me!!!

[kingdom hoop]

Maybe i should take things more seriously.

Definitely, you never know when a spot will open up for that rhinoplasty you've been waiting so long for. Don't splash the cash willy-nilly, and especially not on the Ros dinner dance. What a waste of money.


By the way, I only used peril as it reminds me of pearls, which remind me oysters, which remind me of Guinness, which is where I want my mind to be.

[Bluebeard]

thats cos bluebeard has no friends over here and its his only time to go out. Even though I told him I would bring him out and introduce him to the other kind i.e. females he has declined

News to me - last time I recall you were trying to get me to play GAA of the wrong variety! You never said it was a mixeed team. You are on the wrong side of London though, I believe, aren't you?

I didn't think I'd any friends over in the Old Country either though - why else did you think I'd leave.

Oh, yes, don't let anyone in Dublin 11 know I'll be back. I got into some, eh, difficulties last time I was there.

Enough of this tomfoolery. I have to go back to work as a very manly Hair Sculptor.

BlueBeard, I was half messing, but i confused you with someone else!! BUt if yer up for pints sometime, do let me know. somewhere central as a compromise!

[Lim till i die]

Come back to me after you've had an objective look at the last few pages.

With your writing style it would take days and I'm an absurdly busy man at the moment

Then tell me how we've found the common ground.

You agree that you cannot judge someones "manliness" or otherwise by their profession.

Which was after all my original point

You made absolutely no comment on my culture/development point as a part explanation for why men or women fall into certain industries!!!

Because it doesn't concern me.

As obvious as the answers may be to anyone with the most basic knowledge of society and physcology I don't care and it is a debate which has faff all to do with my original point which was of course:

that you cannot judge someones "manliness" or otherwise by their profession.

So how could we have possibly found the common ground when you can't even acknowledge where I'm standing??

we found common ground on the bit where I'm arguing:

that you cannot judge someones "manliness" or otherwise by their profession.

Oh and I never argued with your point at all.

Sensible chap

I just said it was too simplistic a way of explaining things for my liking. Which it still is.

I never even tried to explain anything. Merely stated a fact (IMO). This fact being:

that you cannot judge someones "manliness" or otherwise by their profession.


Anything else has merely been you (with great gusto to give you your due) arguing amongst yourself

[Lim till i die]

heh heh. I just can't wait to hear you and Lim til i die arguing on Saturday

I'm a Limerickman

When I fight, I fight to kill.

That way even if I lose I win

[KevB76]

Nice, I've liked your posts too.

Hint of sarcasm there ?

But yeah that long-windedness is something that needs curbing.

Dont change man, I like your style of banter. I'll make an effort in future to read the whole post before reacting to specific comments

You used to be cool Kev not anymore

Wait, wait. YOU think you can complain about someone's style?? I'm aghast. Truly aghast. 'Potential Pulitzer Prize winning writer kingdom hoop slammed by slippery bravura-revelling counterpart in dramatic foot.ie showdown.'

You agree that you cannot judge someones "manliness" or otherwise by their profession.

I never fully agreed with that actually. It implies that you can judge someone's manliness in the first place. Thus, your point is nebulous and incomplete. Which I said at the outset, and sought to investigate. Unfortunately you were happy to stick with your narrow view. This lead to you calling some of my comments sexist, as you couldn't understand what I was saying without a broader perspective. Now, I think I'll take MY ball and go play somewhere else.



*tempestuously scuttles off crying*

Hint of sarcasm there ?

Not in the slightest Kev. As soon as I saw your location thing I knew we were onto a winner!

[Lim till i die]

Wait, wait. YOU think you can complain about someone's style?? !

Yep.

I never fully agreed with that actually.

Oh right.

Applause withdrawn

Thus, your point is nebulous and incomplete.

For your purposes perhaps but then I never set out to sate whatever inner need you have for answers to whatever inner question you have.

Which I said at the outset, and sought to investigate.

Here's what you said at the outset:

And what's your argument?

Smartasses are great, if they have an answer.


Inadvertently I think you found the answer, but were probably revelling in your bravura too much to notice. The job of a repo-man is one thoroughly unsuitable to all but the most manly of women. For example, can you imagine some lass coming to the door of a burly lumberjack telling him she must take away his chainsaw cos he's defaulted on the hire purchase payments?

How could you think chasing random people, not knowing what could be in store, trying to prise their prized possessions off them, does not require brave and intimidating attributes usually the preserve of men?

I hope you open a business some day. You'll get great custom from me. No money, but your stock turnover figures will be best in class. WTF, if someone doesn't pay up after numerous warnings nothing should happen? Wonderful logic. Are prison guards 'a special kind of scumbag' for not releasing prisoners?

Before setting off on your own little diatrabe about something I had no concern with to start with although to give you your due you were man enough to say:

I'd asked for your opinion - which turned out to be a good one.

And:

The point is that obviously the mere fact of having a certain job doesn't inherently make one person more manly than another, or allow you to automatically state without knowing the people, 'oh a builder, now he's a proper man compared to a doctor'.

So fairplay

Unfortunately you were happy to stick with your narrow view.

I was happy to make my point which was:

that you cannot judge someones "manliness" or otherwise by their profession.

A point on which I'm sure I would find broad agreement and which is therefore pretty self explanatory in my opinion

This lead to you calling some of my comments sexist

This comment here in your first post on the issue:

How could you think chasing random people, not knowing what could be in store, trying to prise their prized possessions off them, does not require brave and intimidating attributes usually the preserve of men?

Is sexist.

Get over it.

There was no context in your first post just you pitching down on the wrong side of the argument, a position you have been backtracking from ever since by moving the argument over into territory which never concerned me to begin with.

More power to you btw, it's quite amusing when scanned

as you couldn't understand what I was saying without a broader perspective.

LMFAO.

On an aside, if some people maybe couldn't understand you, could this per chance go down as a criticism of your pulitzer prize like style and maybe something you could look at to ensure future glory???

Now, I think I'll take MY ball and go play somewhere else.

You do that, the game finished long ago anyway

*tempestuously scuttles off crying*

Don't cry Kingdom Hoop

[kingdom hoop]

Out of curiosity, why did you bother going back pages to find quotes if the topic doesn't concern you? I acknowledged your mantra long ago. Surely what I said is irrelevant if your only concern was that mantra and that mantra alone?

[Green Tribe]

KH, go post an agenda on Dublin Xmas foot.ie meet-up, you're good at doing that

[John83]

Could a mod move Kingdom Hoop & Lim till I die's conversation to a different thread. It's way off topic and dominating the thread.

Nice little veiled affront there! (or maybe it was just a compliment, I'm not sure)

I think I'll leave that to Bluebeard - he's really the creative one. Whatever creativity I did have has been weaned from me and substituted with spiteful hatred for LTID owing to his recent antics on this thread.

Sorry about that John. Rubbish will do fine as far as I'm concerned Sligoman. Well, put LTID's posts in the rubbish. Put mine in POTM nominations for November.
