Can we have a Wanker's Corner?

[onebatmother]

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?

I have always had a thing for Klaus Kinski. Odd as in real life I go for polite Germans.

No! I think Klaus Kinski represents a 'type' of German which is, for example, quite upfront about it's scat fetish.

even my apostrophes are disturbed by that idea

In real life I only go for Germans who sprint at medium pace for the sunbeds. Hence, I've ended up neither next to bogs nor next to the glistening ocean; Welcome to Harpenden please drive carefully.

lol Swedes - "go for" as in "that rottweiler's about to go for that sweet little spaniel?"

And when did Harpenden get sea? You're overselling it darling.

Just like my estate agent: "must be viewed early to avoid disappointment"...

Actually they use such wide-angle lenses that potential buyers are more likely to be disappointed when they view the real, bijou reality.

I don't know what to say about your interpretation of "go for".

I'm still laughing about "glitter factor". I think your estate agent should be nominated for wanker of the week.

what is my problem with apostrophe's today, I wonder

we can't nom an estate agent, pearls before swine.

Actually, the glitter factor guy was rather sweet. Entirely predictably he had a chalk-stripe suit on, but he loved my house so I love him.

And in any case, Habbibu has totally won WOTW
with her casual "
", don't you think? I had to google and this is the first entry:

Interactional Sociolinguistics:
Paralinguistic cues are a kind of contextualization cue using aspects of phonology (intonation, stress, speed and tempo, voice quality). ...

It was the way she just tossed it out that snares her the chief wanker accolade, for me.

But wouldn't postings on Mumsnet be the study of the written word? I was studying Onebat's text and considering lexis, semantics and discourse structure.

Yes Swedes that's all very clever sounding, but Habbibu was surely referring to onebat's overuse of the emoticon as a phonological simulator in a written context.

The Anglo Saxon smilie?

hi bat and co
can i be a w@nker too?

Hello my darling!
I am not the WankerMeister (we've yet to have our elections) but OF COURSE you can be a wanker!

oh thankyou ~Great BatWanker.

(I don't understand half of the thread, well in fact most of it, and i've read it twice)

gigglewitch - who gives a toss. Nobody understands all of it.

Try again giggle! Three - is the magic number. No more no less - it's the magic number.

Who will be the WankerMeister? I nominate Threadworm, it will bring her out of herself.

whats that bat on about the magic of three for?
No way am i reading this Thread Of Confusion for a third time.

And Swede, I agree nobody could possibly understand all of it, now even OBM, but some of it would have been handy before i gatecrashed?

I'm normally high on cocaine when I post.

can I barge in with a mini hijack for OBM?

just wondered if the school thing got sorted. Was thinking about it earlier...

Swedes, you betray your utter unfamiliarity with class A's with your 'high on cocaine' . V much like my parents saying 'hooked on cannabis' < again>. I think I love you.

bugger it she beat me

ggrrrrrrrrrrr

yy indeed once posted I realised there was a little hijacking going on of her own. still, I had an email from some secularist campaigner types today so got me to wondering...

LOL can you hear me squeak as I walk.
