Well, if Lucy is indeed female I understand the taking of umbrage at my comment. Be that the case I would wish some of that spunk for the distaff side of my own breed. I meant no disrespect, the opposite actually.
But anyway, perhaps you are handing me the shovel so to speak. Yours is often the attitude that gets taken with any female who shows she is no shrinking violet, yet I wonder if you are ever able to offer your services and how successful you are in delivering them... 8-O
Telling a female they need to get laid often does not turn out well. There are few female friends I have had who would have taken that remark without a quick duck from me unless I have known them quite well and they were quite sure I was joking with them.
And Mr Bastard's a sarky bugger.
I prefer agent provocateur!
I could have gone either way on that.
Sarcasm can be a delicious addition to any discussion when employed prudently and wry, deadpan style.
Slightly difficult to abide by that criteria through the written post. Mr B. could/should have recorded his sarcastic outpourings and foisted them upon teh forum for us all to enjoy in all it's deadpan glory.
Or he could've used blue text, but those of us that have been around him for a length of time are able to discern certain sarcastic cadences in his text. Perhaps if you asked him nicely, he'd be able to edit and highlight those passages deemed sarcastic thus nullifying any further confusion.
I'm not at all confused. At least I think I am not. Wait, what?
Blue text has been used as a highlighting thang for text containing sarcasm to show others the intentions of the poster.
TBH I've only every seen Mr. B use it...
