Can we have a Wanker's Corner?

Hello.

It's been noted in the past that there are some pretentious wankers amongst us who like to discuss some general subjects (eg.Porn, Religion) in a fairly, erm.. academic manner, and that this sometimes seems to intimidate and/or infuriate other posters.

There doesn't seem to be an easy solution to this problem: there's no doubt that people really do feel intimidated and that it might prevent them from posting on a subject that concerns them. It also must feel hijack-y at times.

At the same time, it's hard for the Wanker's to be told that they mustn't post anything that might intimidate.

Would it be possible to have a special place, with very hard chairs to keep us awake, that we may call our own?

Yes, have a wankers' corner. ON the understanding that anyone who's naughty on other threads has to take the next turn at mop 'n' bucket duty.

Agree to differ. Was a v dull point for me to make anyway. N'night.

ie "'I think, what a wanker'" is the most important grammatical element of the sentence, and it could stand alone. The rest describes or relates to that sentence.

bcs the second part of the sentence is "i think, what a wanker". The previous bit surrounds and describes that sentence. And that sentence would not work if it was 'me think, what a wanker'

There is a much neater way of describing this, sorry.

"me think 'what a wanker'" doesn't work though.

Night all.

'... make even me think...'?

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 25/06/2008 21:37

OBM - Yes, it really is true.

Alas, I've only seen it when channel-hopping - when I paused, agog and aghast, to check that it really was BC and LC - so can't give details. My version of the script (above) was somewhat sanitised; the programme itself was both infantile and lewd. I was amazed that the BBC would allow its children's TV presenters to disport themselves in such a way - think of all those sacked Blue Peter presenters of yesteryear - but I guess the difference is that BCLC is made by a production company and so there is no contractual relationship between BC, LC and the BBC. LC has also made a documentary for BBC3 called 'Fark Me, I'm Ginger'. Such varied careers.

re: my post of 20:53

you see? when you see it come out of the blue like that, it does actually make even I think, "What a wanker."

noted Fio

MadBAd - really?? Is that really true? bloody hell, yes, to an intertextuality seminar. My contribution will revolve around the extent to which masculine sexuality is perceived to be undermined by contact with infants; and the concomitant desire to infantilize the objects of their 'desire'.

There is something Wayne's World about either BC or LC (don't know which is which).

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 25/06/2008 20:02

Connoisseurs of late night digital TV will know that Big Cook and Little Cook host another show on one of the laddish channels, the script for which (probably written by a computer, as surely no sentient human would) goes something like this:

Scantily-clad nymphet enters stage left
BC (or it may be LC): Cor! What a picture of pulchritude you are! How pleasing your physionomy!
LC (or BC, interchangeably): Phwoar!

Now there really must be enough here for a seminar on inter-textuality in BCLC and this other show.

I can't hear it, what is he saying and what's that on his glasses?

No, no. I have TV. I'm not that much of a wanker.

Yes, the Wankuary is much cozier.

Threadwormm - you are just about to tell me that you don't have a TV, aren't you?

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 19:25

I'd never seen BCLC at all before that clip. Are you sure it isn't a Fast Show parody of children's TV?
