I see what you're getting at now, jrussel.


If I may present my own parallel experience:


The other day I had a disagreement with an orange, who I accused of behaving exactly like Celine Dion. I understand that there are differences between oranges and Celine Dion (geographical origin, accents, cruel thin nose etc) but in the context of our disagreement - first and foremost - and without (herewith) no further ado, I, er..


And other nonsensical made-up stuff.

You need to try a bit harder with your analogy. To start with, you need to explain the context of your disagreement. Otherwise I cannot comment and you are really just wasting everyone's time.

What's the context of your disagreement Dogster?


I'm assuming it's one of the following:

(a) Can't tell the difference in accent

(b) Think everyone who is doing 'something' (unspecified) is Ozzie

© Think that everyone in the world is a figment of your imagination and you can label them as you wish without redress


If (a) then there's no need to tell people they have no identity, just tell them you can't differentiate their accent.

If (b) then as per your request to Bob, please tell us what that 'something' is, and we'll try and help.

If © then see a psychologist as you have no friends to help you.


I suspect the underlying problem is ©, but it's exacerbated by (a), and that you're pretending it's (b) because that means you can blame everyone else.

I shall expand.


I don't like oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines), as I find them difficult to peel and they make my fingers all sticky.

I don't like Celine Dion, as she is difficult to peel and makes my fingers all sticky.

So, whilst I am happy to recognise that there are differences between Celine Dion and oranges, in the context of how they both make me feel - ie angry - there are no differences between Celine Dion and oranges (excluding Satsumas & Clementines)


I hope this is now clear enough for you.

Yes, it would seem to be true, on the basis of the information given, to say that in the context of how they make you feel, there is no difference between the orange and Celine Dion.


So? What is your point?

      Warning: We R Blighty outside M&S

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

      Warning: We R Blighty outside M&S

      Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.

      Up the reform

      By jazzer · Posted

      The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
