[Closed] I'd like to have an argument, please.

Well, if it's any consolation, I'm spending the day completing a job application. It's almost sunny. I should be out on my bike.

👿

EDIT: Can't really help on the argument front, sorry.

No, that was rubbish.

oh no you don't

Rubbish? RUBBISH!!??

Yeah, s'pose it was. 😀

oh no you don't

Would you like a 13 page argument or the standard 6 page argument.

Thats not an argument

FFS! Stop arguing!

Well, 6 page, but not closed by the mods so I can carry on if I like it.

Well I'd like a 13 page argument, that gets closed down because someone posts a picture of a fully dressed news reader.

6 page arguments are for losers.

I'm out !!

* flounce.

Instead of asking for an argument just start a post with one of the following titles:

- steel is rubbish
- 24.7" wheels are the future
- what tyres for slightly muddy trails?
- low carb diets definitely give me more energy

That should sort you out.

I said I wanted an arguement, not advise. When I want to improve my arguing skills I will book myself on a Arguing Skills Course thank you very much - not take back amature back of the napkin type nuggets of fortune cookie argument wisdom from the likes of you!!! #sits back, crosses fingers, clicks refresh fertevly...#

I advise you to spell advice with a "c".

Its "amateur" not amature

*Wanders off again shaking head*

Bloody amateurs

Advice you bloody fool.

Not my fault, no wiggly red lines on work PCs... even with chrome tab installed...

I don't understand any of that. But I'm assuming it was a long, complicated way of saying "Thank you very much for your help."

You're welcome.

Not sure I do to be honest.

Not my fault, no wiggly red lines on work PCs... even with chrome tab installed...

What's your problem with technology? Take responsibility. Stop blaming everyone/everything but yourself etc etc...

Crikey, you need little wiggly lines to help you spell?

These aids are making us all lazy idiots who can't think for ourselves.

It's not your fault because someone didn't correct it for you?
You sound like a labour voter.

I'm not blaming everyone, I'm blaming my 80s primary education where I wasn't taught to spell or talk proper.

EDIT: Never voted Labour in my life.

If it wasn't for poor spelling, bad typing and somewhat distractable sentence struture I'd be quite staggeringly articulate.

You could always start a thread about Religion or Helmets.
Or the Pope wearing a Helmet maybe ?

Been done to death, but a guaranteed argument surely ?

Just as long as it's not your fault, eh? 🙂
Probably best to blame it on Thatcher, in present company.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks then.

Went to school in the 80s too but still try to make the effort.

That's the depressing thing, I actually do try. There's a very good reason I don't work as a proof-reader.

Last night my wife told me that due to the Pope resigning, in her words, "he has to have his ring smashed to pieces".

Seems like harsh treatment just cos he wants to leave his job.

You wouldn't have to work Saturdays if you did.

Your fault, I'm out (again)

*flounce part II.

True, I'm usually just worried about a gap in NI contributions...

You are too conciliatory to really have an argument on here 🙂

We could expand from this onto how the milk thief is to blame for everything, countered by actually she saved the country and then Bliar (copyright anti new labour) ruined it again.

Admit it you just want some banter not a full on argument.

No I'd like an arguement but due to a lack of calcium in my formative years maybe I don't really have the strength and should scale back my ambitions...

Incidentally I was talking to a vegan who claimed to have read a book (I should have stepped away then) that detailed how milk destroyed calcium in the bones... That could be a goer of a topic.

Calcium is basically metal, which means we have a metal skeleton.

Judgement Day happened a long time ago, man...

we have a metal skeleton.

True, if you had more calcium you would have a stronger mind that wouldn't have bent.

Vegans, ooh now that is a good topic. They claim to live longer etc but surely that's just because life drags so much without a good bacon butty in the morning that they feel older.

They claim to live longer

I'm sure you could get an argument from my wife with very little effort.

I am now entertained.

20 minutes ago two chaps came in the shop, who have set of for a run, from their holiday house 17 miles away, who intended to do a 20 mile circular run, lost the member of their group who has the house keys, and knows where they are, and has money (but no mobile phone).

They are considering reporting him lost to the police because they think it would liven their day up.

They are shortly going to try and convince a taxi driver, who they have already told they have no money, to drive them back to the house they can't get in to get their wallets to pay him - offering iphones as collateral.

This beats bringing episodes of Sparticus on my laptop.

Actually they're starting to bore me now, and stink quite a bit.

everything else < AWESOME < 29ers

there you go, a maths based arguement 😉

Vegans, ooh now that is a good topic

Q: How can you tell if someones a Vegan
A: They'll have already told you all about it.

🙂

Are you interested in HiFi?

Id post something about Religion, but there's already (always) one of them going

Bacon butties, hmmm pigs make good eating

And I am a veggie

Vegans, ooh now that is a good topic. They claim to live longer etc

My mum's latest husband was a vegan for over thirty years, and he was a vegetarian before that..

He is a portly bastard with high cholesterol and a propensity for gout.. It appears that the worst effect of a vegan diet is an overbearing manner tempered with that weird and awkward brand of loud and hearty forced joviality..

He's a different bloke after he's guzzled a pound of mature farm cheddar though..

I'll be sticking with the meat pies thanks

I'm vegan and bored at work too.
We get TUPEd in 4 hours, so not much enthusiam to do anything.

not much enthusiam to do anything.

You should try changing your diet, then.

(JOKE! Sorry to hear about your TUPE, hope it works out for the best, whatever that may be for you!)

Oh, yes, I nearly forgot. The Argument.

There is no god, but if there was, he'd ride a 29er.

Will that do ?

The old IT department have just been round deleting all the PCs.
I hope the new ones bring their Windows discs with them on Monday.

My bike is better than your bike.

Discuss.

There is no god, but if there was, he'd ride a 29er.

Will that do ?

No. Firstly, there should be a capital in "God", and secondly, that gap between "do" and the question mark? Shocking to the point of being unacceptable. Go and sit in the corner and think about what you have done.

My bike is better than your bike.

What bike do you have?

Inbred 26er single speed
Intense slopestyle 160mm fs
Trek 1.5.

Pick one 🙂

Do you have any good ones I could pick from?

How about if I said "There are no gods" ?
Would the lack of a capital G be acceptable ?

Flashy, I never said they were good, just that they were betterer than yours 😉

But they aren't, Tom.

Oh look, an argument! 😉

Inbred 26er single speed - closest I have is a rigid Cotic Soul

Mine is better

Intense slopestyle 160mm fs - I have nothing of this ilk. My 2nd bike is a Genesis Day One Alfine. On balance, your bike is better.

Trek 1.5 - I have a HED R1C/RED/Cosmic Carbon SL, good luck finding comparisons. However, mine is better. So there.

Discuss

We've only gone and managed it! And without any evidence from one party too! Just a sweeping statement! I feel so stw right now....

I feel so stw right now....

Don't forget that restraining order.

your mam.

but they aren't Tom [\quote]

That's not an argument it's contradiction.

Yeah, but I look better riding mine.
