Sure, but nothing serious ok?

I don't have a problem with it, so if it's encouraged, that's fine with me. This is the Shoutbox, and this is how people chat and make jokes.

I don't see any reason to disallow that stuff unless it's flaming, abusive, etc. Don't be so sensitive.

We don't all live your regimented, ascetic lifestyle Gus.

PM me if you wake up tomorrow and wish you hadn't made those posts, Meta. For now I'm just going to leave them, because they're quite funny.

I can see how it would work with the Northern accent

I thought "numpty" was Scottish

Say hi from me

Apart from your "entire staff", I think this is a fair point, and I don't like to see it either.

I think our views on religion are probably quite diverse, although you could be right that we're all atheists. I'd be happy to have believers on the m...

I think you're right that it's not left vs right. Some on the far Left are as supportive of the right to bear arms as American conservatives and liber...

Maybe, although I seem to disagree with them as much as agree when it comes to politics. On many issues I'm often much more inclined to agree with, sa...

Things have moved into strange waters in my absence. While Hanover becomes ever more disturbing, and Baden's pursuit of TL founders, I think I'll just...

I wish you wouldn't lump us all together like that. The mod team did not act as one in that discussion, and we don't all share the same views or manne...

This time I think he was banned because he changed his writing style--neglecting capitals at the beginning of sentences and so on--and point blank ref...

This is a transparent dominance play to show off in front of TL and take me out of the game, so forgive me for telling you to take your advice and sho...

If only.

:D Now that's funny.

You are ill-informed. True, there was plenty of socialist anti-capitalism in National Socialism--I don't follow the many socialists who like to deny t...

But it should be noted that antisemitism wasn't consistently spread across German society, being found mostly in the professional middle class and mos...

You may be surprised to learn that this has been quite thoroughly explored by historians.

And yet I am not deterred.

But as a human male, and not a Klingon, I have a three-dimensional, fully realized personality, and can therefore maintain my honour and manliness eve...

I see your love of all things Klingon has its limits. Well, I'm versatile, and I don't want to rush things if you're not comfortable with that. EDIT: ...

Where's the egg-plant emoji when you need it? But no: ironically I respond more positively to something akin to the Klingon mating ritual, in which we...

This may be more concrete and pedestrian than you're looking for, but... I find it difficult to draw a clean dichotomy between them, because speculati...

I too had hoped we could find some common ground on this matter, on which we could grow our relationship until it blossomed with passion and beauty. B...

Don't get me started. I don't give a shit about the Klingons. They should have got rid of them a long time ago. They always inevitably drag things dow...

That's cool Mike

He probably deserves all that, yes, but on the other hand... http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/lets-hear-it-for-the-hef/#.WdIAWk2CzCI

I don't think Cartesian or substance dualists hold that the mind and body are unrelated. If I'm right then I think your argument fails.

Yep, just done it. Thanks :)

There was a guy on the old forum years ago with a good username, which is available here at TPF: Utter Cunt. I think it suits you. ;)

But under this way of looking at it, none of that would be an acceptable account of existence. To exist, logically speaking, is generally just to be t...

I wanted to reply and call you by the other guy's name, Eric's business partner, but I've forgotten it.

Lots of adults wear them too. I confess to having worn a beige pair a few years ago. My girlfriend got them for me as a surprise. No wonder we broke u...

No, I said prigs can post, so long as it's not just trolling.

No, it was a reference to TL's critique of drinking in my drinking thread.

You seemed to be making sweeping and disparaging statements about Facebook and social media generally.

Not long till wine o'clock and I can escape from my social anxiety like the contemptible coward I am.

I admit I'm biased.

Ah, it was TL. I may watch it then ;)

I don't think anyone watches your videos, Gus. I don't, even when it's Monty Python.

Given that you, I imagine, believe that many off-line relationships are fake and stupid and shallow, is there anything you find particularly bad about...

It was worth a try.

I'll be at a bar called Le Chica de Ayer tomorrow night in central Denia. It would be great if you could come and show me your cupcakes (or muffins). ...

Sometimes, and mostly partly.

Gold is pretty soft, as metals go.

I'd expect to set up an account or "store" with some existing platform to make that stuff easier. Amazon or Ebay or whatever. Don't know how that woul...

Nothing is nothing more. Even if drinking is a form of self-medication, it has its own qualities, is used in particular ways, represents particular wa...
