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 there does seem to be something of a bulge in the Venn, doesn't there?
A are pedants
C are wankers
B are pedantic wankers

But UQD - if we are really to begin with TV, we MUST start with Iorek's question of many months ago, which never got the serious consideration it deserved:

Of Big Cook and Little Cook, who is the unhappier man?

There was the Wankery Thread once. Which is a bit like Wankers corner. But mostly it was discussing waking (or to frig oneself it was decided) and then spectacles. And sometimes someone from another thread came in to shout at Aitch. Have another Wankery, it was nice.

Boco · 25/06/2008 10:50

I was supposed to have a driving lesson today, but was cancelled and I feel such happiness and relief that I am quite emotional.

ipanemagirl · 25/06/2008 11:07

this clip will show you which cook is the unhappier.... they express their sorrow through ballet......

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 25/06/2008 11:30

Is anomie the best word to describe what I'm feeling now, having watched that clip? Or maybe just angst?

So, can we gettest on with drafting the constitution? An ejaculation of constitutional and administrative law sends me directly to wank heaven.

I feel we will want the right to bear arms. Can we please define those arms? I'll start by suggesting Marigolds and a copy of the Razzler from 1789 1978.

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 11:36

Plus 'the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of very small nit-picking inconsistencies in other people's arguments'.

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 11:37

But not the right to remain silent, naturally.

Boco · 25/06/2008 11:38

OMG 'don't worry Ben, I'll just lick it up!

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 11:40

Should we make Big Cook honourary Chief Wanker?

Swedes · 25/06/2008 11:51

Threadworm - Yes. And a right to torture and/or inhuman and/or degrading treatment and/or punishment.

I feel the right to talk bollocks should be simply stated. Without attempt to comprehensively define what might constitute talking or bollocks. Or a right even. I fear we may otherwise become entrenched.

stuffitllama · 25/06/2008 12:08

I think some members might explode if denied the right to talk bollocks

best to be on the safe side

stuffitllama · 25/06/2008 12:09

boco what IS that
is this what passes for children's tv nowadays?

Boco · 25/06/2008 12:10

It's odd isn't it. When they were filming it, they MUST have known that it was obscene. Which means they were doing deliberate big cook does money shot on little cook scene.

stuffitllama · 25/06/2008 12:12

yes there is no way it is accidental

those producers will have been guffawing into their double decaff lattes

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 12:18

Simon Groom used to put deliberate double entendres into Blue Peter.

Boco · 25/06/2008 12:22

But I bed he never flung his muck in anyones face.
