The UDT Quote Thread!

[Jeremy]

A nice guy? Quite possibly. Either he's posting in-character, or he somehow lacks the ability to relate to other people and see himself as they see him. Neither of these is incompatible with being a nice person.

[DulwichFox]

There are Only Three types of People here on EDF.

Those that can count...

...and those that can't.

Fox.

[El Pibe]

I thought there were 10 types

[red devil]

Did someone mention counting?..

"just yesterday I received a free spanner in the post after I complained to the manufacturer that they changed the spanner's finish from satin chrome to polished chrome."

Gold, pure gold.

DC has nailed it. I do learn new things pretty and often my approach to life means that I interact with genuine people in the know. I've also been fortunate in working for an organisation that dealt with issues such as housing, planning, education, resilience, business, crime & drugs, children services, sustainability, transport with links to 12 central government and Number 10. Managing partnerships with GLA, London Councils, local authorities, Chambers of Commerce, etc. I've listened to Prime Ministers, SoS, Perm Secs, Director Generals, ministers and other senior officials.

@LLC,

I do realise that I'm different from most people in that I'm ahead of the curve but 'odd' is not the right word to describe me. Most people are not very good dressers/shoppers and listen to commercial music so why would I want to be like them?

Over the years I have learnt that my biggest critics tends to be ones who are either inept, style challenged or simplistic thinking thickos. What they know isn't worth knowing.

I also look about 27 years of age and fit. So the Alan Partridge comparison isn't true in my case.

So the next time you see someone attempting to ridicule, ask yourself whether they fall into the following categories: inept, style challenged or simplistic thinking thickos. Or perhaps re-read this thread in a different light.

[Alan Medic]

You can't be that fit if you can't play football and squash on successive nights. Got me down to a tee though.....inept, style challenged and a thicko.

[Huguenot]

Oh dear

[edcam]

Dear oh dear.

Since this is the UDT quotes thread, check this classic:

For the record U

How old are you ?

I'd put you at about 36

Am I right

(you can pm me if you wish - lips sealed an' all that)

Netts

[Jeremy]

That's funny nette, must people would guess about 27.

[red devil]

He's far too young for you Netty, leave him alone...

[El Pibe]

I reckon early forties. Still single.

[TillieTrotter]

I reckon you lot are being played beautifully. UDT is hilariously brilliant.

[maxxi]

I'm with you Tillie - the spanners finished me off completely - left helplessly contemplating a satin finish on a 3/4" open-ended/ring spanner combo. Even thinking about it now hurts.

[Jeremy]

TillieTrotter, you could be right.

But I so badly want him to be real.

[El Pibe]

Too consistent, even across the other forums from which he's been banned (we're clearly a very tolerant lot here).

If he is a construct then I've a feeling i know who his inspiration was; what are your views on Genesis UDT?

[Gingerbeer]

Does Phil Collins really need to be dragged into this?

[Jeremy]

Do you think he works best within the confines of the group, or as a solo artist (and I stress the word artist)?

I'm thinking UDT reckons Pseu-Pseu-Pseudio is some of their finest work but really likes Heuy Lewis and the News.

His business cards are also excellent.

[jumpinjackflash]

Don't knock Phil Collins 'Easy Lover' is a tune!

[red devil]

I can certainly see the similarities in the style stakes...well ahead of the curve
