With not even a 'smiley' attached to signify it was tongue in cheek....but then, perhaps you meant it......it wouldn't surprise me.
You certainly aren't out to win friends and influence people are you?
It don't really bother me, if they need to feel superior,then thats fine, its pretty easy fer the ordinary person to suss out the score.
Knowing what you are like, of course it doesn't bother you.
It's just a shame that some folk are as he is, There's plenty in the thread he could have commented on, but no, he just carries on in his arrogant way, of no use to the site at all.
Yeh but going off the time he returned n posted, right or wrong,i can only assume theres n alcohol problem? I mean some people do need it.Knowing what you are like, of course it doesn't bother you.

Wow! now there's a heck of a leap into the land of conclusions.
As for needing it, Some folk drink to be sociable some because it's their only friend.
Sorry Neil I wasn’t ignoring you but with all the cyber shin kicking* and click baiting** going on here your post got shunted down the thread.
The Gobbin Lamp is situated outside the Oswaldtwistle library, I feel sure there’s a thread on here dealing with the very subject but back in the day it used to stand in the gardens at the front of the library.
It’s my understanding that you were defined a “gobbinner” not by birth but by location, if I am wrong I am sure somebody (Retlaw ***) will put me right. So it’s not like the cockney born within the sound of Bow Bells thing, because for one thing a lamp has no sound (cb alert**** here) and if it was under the light of the lamp one would have had to be born either in the gardens or at best on the pavement. I am sure there will be a clamour of real real gobbinners telling me they were indeed born on the pavement but I think it best to ignore those attention seekers and dolichocecephalics (cb alert here Mog)
· * Cyber shin kicking, a bit like the the Bacup Coconutters but without the clogs, bells and black faces.
· ** Click baiting, miss spelling something or wrongly identifying a place e.g typing Atlas Street instead of Wellington Street and then waiting for somebody (usually Retlaw) to shout in his big bad bold font and throw his bag of pendant dust at you)
Note to self: get Retlaw some finer grain pedant dust for Christmas.
DNFTT...my work here is done!
No real reason to quote this post, except it's the shortest of your juvenile rants.Well yes alcohol was involved Mr C, I'd been to the Forts Christmas Quiz and JBE's questions on Christmas smells were ****e
Could I just draw the attention of the don't knock the newbie crowd, (all of whom have been very quiet).
That i did state you are a troll in my what I don't want for Christmas thread.
You are now in rant mode, obviously the world is against you, but fear not, some daft sod will come to your defence and claim you've still been bullied.
Actually compared to most nutters you've been treated with far too much tolerance, I think its time the gloves came off.

Oh I am enjoying this thread and learning so much too...
If I maybe allowed to throw a little pedant dust as well...
a) because I can
b) because I want to
c) it's Christmas and I just feel like it
First, our esteemed local(ish) Morris dancers go by the name of the Britannia Coco-nut dancers of Bacup, or just Coco-nutters. The hyphen appears to not be mandatory and is sometimes not seen. But not the Bacup Coconutters please.
Second, I would be interested to know what dolichocephaly (check your spelling BTW) has to do with attention-seeking gobbiners. If you are implying any sort of abnormality or deficiency on their part I find that rather offensive.
Third, you rather spoilt your attempt at a dig at Retlaw by missing out the word "Caesar" from the last sentence of the first part of your reply about geese. Yes I have checked your reference and it's there.
What bird was credited with saving Rome from the Gauls in 390BC?
Phew I feel better after that!
Top of the class Cashy, my thoughts too or are we not thinking outside the box?
well, I have a D.P. living with me(married -sigh)...but I can assure you it isn't him that is posting this stuff.
I don't care what it means, I just wish folk like this had their fingers chopped off preventing them using a keyboard.
Wow, 'dolichocephalic'- what a grand word, especially when you throw in a spare 'ce' just for good measure.
Imagine holding a conversation with DtheP- either you wait ages while he looks up all these grand words and tries to make a coherent sentence out of them or- God forbid, he doesn't need to look them up so talks like that all the time!
Either way must be seriously boring.

Well showing off a bit I know what it means but don't feel the need to broadcast it by throwing it and its fellows in to a conversation unless it's really called for in the subject matter under discussion (and believe me that might be a discourse that would lull one to sleep very easily!).
To round this off, let's go for sesquipedalian (literally "a foot and a half long"):
Pertaining to or given to the use of overly long words: Our dinner guest was so sesquipedalian that no one could understand what he said.
(Sound familiar?)
Synonyms: bombastic, grandiloquent, long-winded, florid, prolix
Or maybe self-aggrandisement? Like Susie, I am enjoying this thread. I suspect it's all a gentle wind-up on DtheP's part. After all, it's in the Anything Goes section.
You may be right, Michael1954. I have wondered if he's trolling. After all, no one could be all those grand words you and Susie mention in real life.
Could they?
Michael...do you mean to tell me that in 'anything goes' anything goes?...well, I never(OK - I might have done, but only the once)
I now know what it means - I had to look it up!
