How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

How many, do we judge, will die unexpectedly in Accrington before this eve has passed? They will not see the new year, though they expect that they will. They consider, in the absence of better evidence, that they are healthy and do not expect that an accident of one stripe or another will end their lives.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Probably the same as last night, and the night before that. When it comes to dying of ill health I don`t think todays date has much relevance.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Granted, g. Yet this date has significance for some humans. Sudden death has many causes beyond unknown ill health - fire, stabbing, shooting, explosion and the like.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

You know, I'll bet you're a real scream at parties ...... probably explains why you're on here now Mr She-ite eating, transgressionsmeister!

I do hope you get out more in 2014 & join the rest of us in the real World. :rolleyes:

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Are you volunteering?

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Thanks for your hope, Dave. I'm allowed out every day and am unaware of any imposed or innate limitation on my ability to join your real World [sic].

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

As we must both acknowledge, Gordon, the meaning of volunteering is undefined here. How could I volunteer to be part of an unknowing death? Am I not already a volunteer, like all those alive?

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Then someone is neglecting their duties.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Soddin' care in the community eh? Tsk! ;)

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Whew! I made it into 2014. Happy new year, everyone.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

I think you'd better get a life before it ends unexpectedly.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Indeed. Have another year - they're [TRANSGRESSION! abbreviation] free for as long as they come.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Quite as you foresaw, Gordon, my presence here isn't [TRANSGRESSION! abbreviation] always summa cum laude.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

I suspect that GH may have a point here. Statistically I think that New Year's Eve is a high (or do I mean low) point for mortality due to booze, depression, Jools Holland etc.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Statistically i suspect a "Billy No Mates" as i said before.:rolleyes:

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

I would like to know why the question was posed.
I think it is insensitive and crass.
Maybe that is because I live life living...not dying(even though we all are.....dying that is).
And what on earth is this transgression stuff?

I also wonder if GH has some mental health issues.....one of those that lie on the autistic spectrum.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Attention i reckon, no other reason.:rolleyes:

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Why I said autistic spectrum.....sufferers of these conditions have little concept of how to conduct social interaction.....take things very literally and are precise about how things are laid out.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Can anyone tell me what the heck he's on about. Has he escaped from somewhere? Is he on something illegal?
As for his continual use of the word 'transgression' one dictionary defines the meaning as being:
1. A violation of a law, command, or duty.
2. The exceeding of due bounds or limits.
3. A relative rise in sea level resulting in deposition of marine strata over terrestrial strata.

Graham you just don't make sense. It is not a transgression to use an apostrophe to show omission when making a contraction. So may I suggest that you grow up and stop trying to make yourself sound knowledgeable.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

That may be the posh/proper description of it, but to put it at street level, the guy seems to just be being anal!

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

You're right there, I can't see you even making cum laude.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Thanks, Gordon Booth, for correctly interpreting the tone of my contributions.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

It is said that an abbreviation is a shortening by any method. Such methods appear to include those which use an apostrophe to indicate omission.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

My assumption was that if it`s in the dictionary, then it`s allowed. And words with apostrophes are in the dictionary, text speak like gr8 instead of great, isn`t in the dictionary so wouldn`t be allowed.

And before you say it, yes, I do know what assumption is the mother of.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Thanks, gpick24, for your concession-of-a-sort.

What lingers is the suggestion that I am on the autism continuum, though those who claim that have offered no evidence that their claim is professional.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

I`m in no position to give concessions, this is just what I`ve assumed and I`ve not been told off yet for using apostrophes.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Well, thanks anyway. When I joined the community it seemed to me - and still seems to me - that there are many rules and I would soon fall foul of them. The rules I did break were those about caring what other people think, which weren't among those I read here. Hence the vilification; I get that everywhere I travel.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

It is advertised that we should "Feel free to ask any questions about Accrington..." Can that not explain why I asked?

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

It would appear that you are on something, which you would be better off without.

So stop travelling, you obviously don't know how to behave in other peoples company.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Graham if you are referring to me, then please say so.
And if we are going to be picky - which it seems you are, I didn't claim that you were suffering from ASD...I 'wondered', which is different from 'claiming'...and yes, I do have an interest in ASD.(having family members who are affected by this condition)

ALL of us are somewhere on the Autistic spectrum.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

And for the record, I did specify why I 'wondered'.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

I wonder why I wonder why I wonder why I wondered Richard Feynman, I think

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Obfuscation!

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

So far we have had little proof that you think, but you have shown us that you lack a great deal of understanding on several topics.
:rolleyes:

BBC News - The mystery of the most fatal week of the year
In my opinion Holland's Hootenany has much to answer for. Is GH an actuary or a precog?

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Neither. Just a miserable so and so.

Is your opinion worth a damn?
In my opinion (not worth sod all) you are almost as much a smart arse as the other saddo.
:(

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Ah Less, often (if not always) one for venting your spleen. More precision as to which saddo may be needed. After all, if we had more to occupy ourselves with rather than posting on A.W. perhaps we would be more profitably employed? Having said that I apologise if I have offended your sensibilities by criticising a programme of which you are particularly fond.
As to opinion, I think most, if not all, must be valued as they are generally all anyone has. Truth is often so subjective.*


* A truly smart ass paragraph;)

How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

More bull, the only thing is, how could you offend my sensibilities and tell me in the same post I haven't got any?
As for my spleen?
That isn't where I vent my crap from, but you do it in a strange format all over the site.

Enjoy.

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Thanks. Of course more bull, if we can't spread such stuff here, where else could we?:hehetable

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Sorry my responses got mixed up with your quote, I'm rubbish at using some aspects of the site.

How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Best of your posts today, no, in fact your best post ever, time to quit whilst you're ahead perhaps?

Allow me to like you before you go.
;)

Re: How many in Accrington will not survive this evening?
 

Bless your heart Less. I'll shut up on this one now. Enjoy the rest of your Saturday my similarly garrulously charming co-webber.
