I'm really enjoying my local corner shop's new delivery service but it's becoming so frequent that I'm alternating deliveries between my home and workshop just so the neighbours don't clock on to the sheer volume of alcohol being processed within my house. I'm ordering a loaf of bread with every box of beer so it looks like I'm doing a bit of grocery shopping too. I've got loads of bread if anyone needs a few loaves? I've gone 2 weeks without alcohol, probably the longest I've gone without in 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though you didn't understand what the author meant, you posted it anyway. Then when people pointed out that the author didn't mean what you thought he meant, rather than being humble and saying, 'ok fair enough, that's a good point' you doubled down. Gutless. I have said as much in my second post to @jono that fundamentally I agree with his judgement of the meaning with one subtle distinction and that is that Kipling only meant that the gulf could be traversed as individuals or before our maker, not in broader terms. I'm not sure why that warrants your pathetic little outburst, especially since you've offered the square root of duck all to contradict that view. The funniest thing is that you actually believe I care what you think in the first place. Rookie mistake right there old bean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit strong really mate. Not sure how much can really be derived about folks' knowledge of supply chains etc from what they post on a footy forum, or that that even misguided opinions are necessarily 'sickening'. Not sure @ramit is guilty of 'grandstanding' either to be fair. I enjoy his perspective even if I don't share all of it.

Fair enough buddy. Just thought your post was out of character for you is all. It's funny how perceptions differ though. I've always felt the bias was more to the right, significantly so if I'm honest. Interesting to see you say the opposite. Not something I'd considered in all honesty.

What an arrogant vulgar conceited rant you are having. i added my views on a point made that we need to work together globally. i don't care how sick my opinions make you, you will not shut me up and if you are going to call my views BS, then prove that claim, but no you can't, you just figure if you're obscene enough in your shouting it will make some sort of point. It's making a point alright, about you. Oh and If you are going to talk about me, have the decency to put a @ before my name so that i can be notified of your outrageous assertions and insults. You just went over the line fella. To receive respect you must show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
