Your error recognizes you? :Cheeky:

My only error was to prematurely congratulate you for ceasing your game-playing.

As any reasonably bright sixth grader knows, the sense of the headline is revealed by understanding the sense of the article.

The two sentences mean exactly the same thing whether you are willing to admit it or not.

We brits don't have a constitution, remember.


It's one of those 'orrible continental ideas, like bidets and enemas.

Yes we do

it's just not written down

after all a written constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on

You make less sense with every post.

In and of itself a remarkable feat given where you started.

I get the feeling he's under the impression he sounds deeply philosophical (and therefore intelligent)

What I've witnessed so far is a common enough process of someone being challenged obfuscating throwing a tangent in his/her wake. The tangent gets examined and found breakable, so another tangent is dropped, then another. Before too long the follower is far far off the reason why they followed. I tend to follow, but in this case there is so little content it isn't even entertaining. There's almost nothing BC&H about his involvement here.

Probably only to a psychologist. I find the contortions interesting from a pathological standpoint.

I wouldn't limit that to just this thread but you are correct that it doesn't belong here.

Waiting until a thread is locked or moved is really the only way for him to avoid prolonging the embarrassment of refusing to acknowledge the obvious.
