The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
So, often I see children of most races bringing these animals bits and pieces of food, both they and the birds love it.
Today I saw a young man and his sister feeding them, 'Hello says I, I know you you live a little further up the street.' I hear a car door open and close behind me, Darth Vader has left the nearby auto, Hello less, haven't seen you for a while how's things going? It turns out, she is the childrens Mother, someone I have had many polite conversations with. I'm confused because I can't tell who she is, kids I recognise black apron? Nah, sorry don't remember! Sorry love says I, even though you may be someone I know, I can't talk to a KKK member even if they are wearing black sheets and pillow cases, next time we're on the street and I recognise you, then we'll talk. I couldn't tell if I'd upset or insulted her, there wasn't much expression that can be displayed in a small slit for the eyes. :( |

In plain English, what on Earth do you mean? I found a person I considered my friend, hidden behind cloth, she had to tell me who she was, I don't want to be told, I want to see the person so that I can smile as I recognise a friend. In the news we've had some obsessive that came over to the Country and randomly killed, Only reason? he thought himself white and superior, I don't want that to happen to anyone, how though can I protect someone if I had to, when they are covered in cloth and I don't recognise them? I want my friends to be as trusting of me as I am of them, anyone covered has something to hide, unfortunatly, I'm most reluctant to defend Zorro, he/she can look after themselves. :( |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Well I find it quite pathetic Less, here’s a Mum taking her children to feed the ducks and geese in all innocence, no doubt her brood were full of the joys of autumn.
She shows a bit of common courtesy by giving you the time of day and gets rebuffed when you suggest to her she is a member of US white supremacy group aka. The nightshirt knights. Disgraceful behaviour from you. And how is the mum to explain your responses to these bright-eyed young innocents? * Now you try to defend your actions in trying to link it all to a white Ukranian extremist,unmasked I add. Pathetic. Breaking news: In London’s Brick Lane area an American has been scarred for life after being attacked by a group of Asian men using bottles. From the cctv pics released today they too were unmasked. *Maybe now they are a bit more wary of dodgy old men approaching them with the chat up line “Hello I know you, you live further up the street” |

You have taken offence at Less for offering an opinion....a point of view. How we interact wit those around us is very much tied up with visual cues....being able to see and recognise faces. You malign Less by calling him a 'dodgy old man'......this isn't how the lady saw him, because she knows him as a neighbour. I would not call your attitude towards Less 'pathetic'.....but merely questionable. |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Oh, yes and if you read the post you will see that the lady spoke to Less first...because she could see and recognise his face.....and perceived no threat to either her or her children.
|
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Here’s a scenario to ponder on:
Bright eyed young kids feeding the ducks with Mum sat in her car watching over them. She sees this scruffy old geezer approach her children and try to engage them in conversation. “Uh Oh” Thinks Mum “I’d better check this old cove out, what with all one reads in the papers about stranger danger and stuff these days” “Hello Less haven’t seen you for a while, how’s things going” |

Thank you, Margaret for coming to my defence, if in future you feel a need to do similar, feel free to jump in.
Unless of course you are wasting your time trying to defend me from DtheP, he really isn't worth worrying about. No doubt he will continue in the manner he has adopted, well, let him, if he feels better attempting to score points in his posts, then let him think he is wonderful, we know different. |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Quote:
Quite disparaging too. I see the scene in an entirely different perspective....which I think I have explained in my defence of Less. Tell me, how do you determine who you are speaking to......don' t you look at their face? A niqab makes it impossible to decide whether the person behind it is a friend or not. You have dreamed up your scenario to justify your comments. |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks

Less posted about the woman in pejorative terms, now that’s supercilious. How do I determine who I am speaking to you ask? Voice recognition certainly comes into the equation in many instances. |

Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
As for Less posting, in what you call 'pejorative' terms....he was expressing an opinion. He is, like all of us, entitled to do this.
It was something to get his point over. The point which seems to have gone right over your head. He was, telling us that he had spoken to this lady in the past...be could recognise her as a neighbour....but could no longer recognise her as she had taken to covering her face. Anyway, I think Less was right......I am wasting my time, so I will stop now.The sun is shining and a walk along the beach seems much more inviting. |
The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Again I thank you Margaret however may I remind you anything you say to this 'gentleman', is a waste of time?
He has been agin' me from the moment he came on site. Perhaps he thinks for him to dominate, he has a need to put me down? I really don't care, I/we/all of us put forward our views. Does it matter that he spends his time trying to attack me? Nah, he wastes his time and the words, he looks for in an online Dictionary. No one talks the way he try's to brag. |
The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Allow him his opinion, without it he will be as mediocre as the rest of us.
In all honesty for the site to survive, we all need criticism, just a shame, he only wants it to survive to prove how clever he is. Now, ignoring him, hands up everyone that would like to go back to everyone joining in an anything goes thread that is stupid, but getting 20 odd posts per hour ? This site used to be friendly and silly, no one was frightened of posting any kind of comment. Now, well, we can see how it's ended up. Cheers DtheP you have helped the site become unfriendly. |

Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
When attempting to communicate or spar with another on a forum, it is extremely bad taste to use obscure words in an effort to show some sort of verbal superiority.
It is never clever to use words just to sound smart, because it invariably has the opposite effect. Pretentiousness is not a good trait, especially in an adult. |

Now, how about that slack of yours, you want it? Cut it for others you may get a better response. :) |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
DtheP47.....the word you want is prerogative. I know this not a typo because you have spelled it this way twice now.
As for my moral compass, I neither need,or want your advice on that. I have never had a problem calibrating it. You have entirely missed the point that Less was trying to make......and I do not feel disposed to labour this point anymore....the chicken needs turning! |

You failed to recognise the serious point Less was making about not being able to realise friend from foe and didn't link it with the possibility of a suspected terrorist escaping dressed as a woman. Instead you pontificated about inherent racism and bullying. Man who escaped mosque in burqa was under counter-terror restrictions | UK news | The Guardian Then again, you are clever enough to take the first letter of a screen name and turn it into a whole new word....maybe you have a valid argument |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Guinness, you have said what I hasve been saying since early on in this thread.
But I had my moral compass questioned for it.......intelligence doesn't need to be hung on the line for all to see...it is present in the way people answer posts on the forum. And as soon as someone starts name calling it is a sign that their argument can't stand up. |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
No Guinness I didn’t miss the point at all. The Wizard of the Withering Retort makes mention of his confusion in his opening post swanking on this thread how he rounded on a woman for being, err? different, in an episode of unerring gracelessness. A series of cheap shots at a woman and kids, from someone truculently stupid and morally moribund in failing to embrace people’s diversity and respect for different cultures. His words and actions represent an ugly corrosive attitude that has no place in any level of society and should not be tolerated.
And yes you are correct I didn’t link it with a suspected terrorist escaping in a burqa but fear ye not, I now have my old mates from the SAS staking out the bottom of Less’s street. Not sure if the usual Multi Terrain Pattern MTP camouflage will allow them to blend into the background down yonder so I’ve suggested to them hang a few old KFC trays, Guinness and Coke cans from their webbing. That should do the trick. "Broadsword calling Danny Boy. Pizza delivered and the chicken's in the pot." |
The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Wondered how long it would take you to round on me again.
Not to worry, just because you can't find room in your heart to tolerate me, doesn't mean I will resort to your name calling tactics. You have for some reason had a grudge against my existence ever since you arrived on site, what a day that was for everyone, being allowed to bask in your glory and sit at the feet of one so Godly. I take it the virtual hugs aren't doing you any good? Still, they can't be doing you any harm either so let's try again with a little more passion, hugs and kisses from me to you, you poor little man. |

No doubt "petard" is an appropriate word when discussing Islam and walking duck blinds. On a daily basis, suicide bombers are hoisted by their own petards. Problem is they hoist a whole bunch of innocent folks along with themselves. What was "sport" to Hamlet has now become serious business. I, personally, find nothing offensive in DtheP's unwillingnes to eschew obfuscation. What does offend me are the insults thrown at C'mon every time he posts. "Clown" and "idiot" are the common responses of more than one member. This kind of ad hominem bs rebuttal to someone's opinion has no place in reasoned argument. But, backing away from being serious, the French word for "fart" has its roots in "petard". Seems like farting is something one shouldn't do when wearing a burqa.:eek: |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
Of course not Eric, in all your postings you have demonstrated intelligence without trying to infer/imply that you know better than any other member....you do not appear to hang out your intelligence, like a damp teatowel or a wet vest.
I think that once someone starts calling another member names, it denotes that their bit of the discussion/argument is lost....and name calling isn't big and it isn't clever. |

So does that last post constitute an agreement that you do not know who is under a Burqa?
With nuns habit at least you can SEE the face of the person under the habit...and many Nuns these days do not wear such clothes, as they feel they prevent them from doing the job they are allocated by alienating them from ordinary people. Burqa's do exactly the same thing...they isolate the wearer, and intimidate those around them. |

The chances of the Wizz or you tripping over a discarded Toblerone wrapper and finding a terrorist lurking amongst the Peacocks and Geese are what?? |
Re: The Bottom Of My St Has Geese & Peacocks
I don't know where you get your statistics from.
There are some towns in this country where a third of the population is comprised by people from this ethnic background. Your levity (or perhaps what you perceive as levity) does not detract from the gravity of the situation. I am bored with your responses, they are nothing more than point scoring exercises. I'm done.
