Do I need to call the seriousness police or shall we just go for a nice walk?

I think it's fairly evident your meaning didn't come across with quite the clarity you think. I had absolutely no idea you were being sarcastic, no idea whatsoever.

I did, but I'm very clever....

 

[RaglanSurf]

I am official Forum Idiot for a very good reason

If you're the idiot what on Earth does that make the Hooley?!

 

[Andysnap]

This is a very tricky question, we may have to invent a whole new level of idiocy just for him. I shall phone S Hawking and get him to lend his enormous intellect to the problem.

Or just send Roberts for the malt and we'll discuss it over a nice cigar.

Surely Roberts would say Hooley's beyond idiocy too?

 

[RaglanSurf]

Surely Roberts would say Hooley's beyond idiocy too?

Surely that depends on whether idiocy is infinite?

 

[PMN]

Surely that depends on whether idiocy is infinite?

It is in Hooley's case...

 

[joxby]

Oy, stop picking on Hooley you rotters.....lol

 

[PMN]

No, that's what he's there for!

 

[PMN]

He retaliates quite well anyway, especially after about 10 beers. Bit slurred though...

 

[joxby]

Especially in F&C, we're not used to seriousness in here!

That's a very good point

I mean.....Brian isn't intentionally obtuse, he's like that all the time quite innocently.
But if we get an......."outsider"......** coming here obtusin, we are more likely to assume they are obtusin with sinister motives.....

 

[RaglanSurf]

I believe the OED uses Brian's posts as examples of obtusin!

Eh? Who are these weird 'outsider' people of which you speak?

I have a helmet nearby, will that do?

Being obtuse is one thing, being sarcastic is another. If @ancient_mariner was being clever then we're really off the scale of what generally goes on in here! At least for me, I dunt do clever me...

not if you want full paranoiac magnification

 

[PMN]

I'm confused. Can we just go back to insulting Hooley?

Clever? Probably not.

 

[Andysnap]

I love it when a thread goes haywire. Or whyhayered...or summinck.

Oh oh, Andys been the pub again.

 

[PMN]

Oh oh, Andys been the pub again.

And I'm on the Heineken. This could get worse before it gets better!

 

[RaglanSurf]

I don't think it can get much worse than Heineken can it?

 

[PMN]

You're a southerner. Nothing more to say!

It's a bit early for fisticuffs

We drink proper dark brown beer down here. The darker the better.

You can keep it, I'll stick to me light golden fizzy stuff! Well, that and red wine, I like a good red wine. We northerners are proppa sophisticated.

 

[Andysnap]

Can we please re-name this thread 'The Never-Ending Quest for Fizziness'

 

[Steve Smith]

We northerners are proppa sophisticated.

Wasn't it northerners who invented Newcastle Brown?!! (or is that a different type of northerner?).

Steve.

It may have been, but in a taste test, Newkie brown is much closer to lager than anything one might recgnise as a typical English beer.
