and then get offended and all 'shake the dust off' when they get a lot of Hmm?

It seems to happen a lot, and the latest is one in chat where someone is questioning friends motives for waiting to have children then getting upset that people are being a bit snotty.

Well, am I? Surely it's a bit more reasonable to take a look about before you start with the controversial stuff? They always seem to surprised to be disagreed with!

Pressed post too soon.

I was not jumping to any conclusions regarding you or casting aspersions on your national past-time Grin.

Just popped by to help myself to the buns I left here.

Sorry for not treating your thread with the seriousness it deserves button, I find I can only handle one seriously shouty thread at a time these days.

scottishmummy · 20/02/2011 01:17

really?maybe your articulation and riposte is lacking somewhat

nevermind

AgentZigzag · 20/02/2011 01:17

I think it'd only be fair to say that the stereotypical drunken pisshead could equally be applied to any of the countries in our United Kingdom SM?

The one thing the countries undoubtedly have in common.

buttonmoon78 · 20/02/2011 01:18

I really hope this is going to degenerate into a properly abusive thread with lots of misunderstanding. You're doing well at sending it down that route SM

good for you

buttonmoon78 · 20/02/2011 01:20

Don't be so touchy. Nobody said you were drunk because you're scottish. You made absolutely no sense, were slurring your typing (if that's possible).

OP posts:
scottishmummy · 20/02/2011 01:21

noone said you fucked sheep,you volunteered you do

AgentZigzag · 20/02/2011 01:22

I find the drunken stereotype is actually quite useful.

It gives me something to aspire to in my sad isolated life.

i lived in nz worked there.loved it

buttonmoon78 · 20/02/2011 01:24

Exactly. I appear to have a sense of humour and an ability to poke fun at myself by pointing out how silly many stereotypes are. You appear to have an ability to get offended by something nobody has said.

OP posts:
AgentZigzag · 20/02/2011 01:25

I would like to make it crystal clear that I have never fucked sheep that I remember ever, ever, not-even-once.

No siree, not me.

Not never.

You see? What on earth does that mean?

Agent you're protesting far too much. My belief in you is wavering.

Wales rocks. Though I've not lived there for many years. I still miss the rain.
