Frogley road incident

[ally99]

Police & lots of people about.. Anyone know what's happened?

[drew]

Gang activity.

[Huguenot]

Clowns.

[Salsaboy]

Clown gangs.

Drew, Huguenot... all a bit old hat isn't it? When can we officially kill these pat responses for good? Forum needs something new. Good effort woodrot. Very topical.

Mind you, I perversely miss the *twitches curtain* of yesteryear EDF. So what do I know.

[Huguenot]

Irony.

You see when you respond to a tired and dull enquiry with a hackneyed cliche, everyone gets the point except you. It's supposed to be tired and dull, that's the point deadhead ;-)

It's a meta-observation that diminishes the original enquiry in a friendly way without being patronising.

Therein lies the humour.

Are you for real?

[Worker]

Huguenot, do you really think that your responses ?diminish the original enquiry in a friendly way without being patronising?? I don?t think so.

I don?t know why the OP asked the question, but you seem to think that whatever their motivation a sensible response is not merited. Maybe they live on Frogley Road and are concerned for their safety, or for their property, or that they need to be at an appointment in 10 minutes and the coppers have blocked their car in. Or maybe they?re just nosy. Either way, I understood that the EDF welcomed practical discussion as well as idle gossip.

Remember, if people stop posting on here in case their post is deemed ?tired and dull? by the EDF elite, you?d have no-one to belittle and confuse with your pseudo-intellectual responses. Also, I think anyone who spends a lot of time on an internet forum is not best qualified to pass judgment on what is ?tired and dull?.

Worker kicks ass!

[Huguenot]

Really?

*chuckles*

[Huguenot]

Oooh, look, a red car, can we have a cha....

Ooooo look a blue car, I really don't like bl...

Ooooo look a red car, I li...

[Atticus]

Huguenot, you are by far the most patronising poster on this forum.

[Huguenot]

Well thank God you're there to keep me on the straight and narrow ;-)

If you weren't there, heaven knows how thse defenceless grown adults would survive.

[Atticus]

Always there for you, Big Guy.

[Alan Medic]

Is there an EDF Awards Night then?

... they definitely would have mebntioned that (and possibly noted it on the "little things blah blah irrational rage etc." thread).

Yeppers!

Let's just say Huge does use the prefix 'meta-' far too much ;-)

[Huguenot]

It's all down to a youth tragically wasted on John Donne.

No man is an island - not even if it's Singapore...

[woodrot]

I dont even know where frogley road is

[Salsaboy]

I think I love Huguenot B)

[Huguenot]

Once twice thrice have I loved you

Before I knew your name

Slowly silently have I burnt

Consum?d in passions flame

When have I ever been

Without your thoughts my love

An entire universe having seen

In your eyes do I rest my love

Come settle on my lids like stardust

Sparkle like jewels rare sublime

Let all other thoughts fade as rust

Only you I treasure till the end of Time

[Salsaboy]

Now I know I love Huguenot.:-$

[????]

Watch out he'll get metaphysical on your asssss

[Siduhe]

20 years after I first read it, till makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up....

Rather at once our time devour

Than languish in his slow-chapt power.

Let us roll all our strength and all

Our sweetness up into one ball,

And tear our pleasures with rough strife

Thorough the iron gates of life:

Thus, though we cannot make our sun

Stand still, yet we will make him run.

[EDdownunder]

Great post, spot on.
