You need not worry about dd101. After receiving this bashing, it’s likely he’ll not be a part of our forum. Yes, be rude to them on Sunday and pray for them on Thursday – same old; same old.
Serenity - I'm waiting for some friends in London to check in ... I'm sure they're ok, but it'll be a relief when I hear from them.
And no, I'm not too worried about dd101 - I think it's fairly difficult to harm a figment of someone elses imagination. Just how many names are you posting under these days Rick? Definitely 'Same Old, Same Old'.

BJ, did you happen to be a bottle-fed baby?
Although it’s nice to see you’re not ignoring me (I knew you weren’t) I gather you’re saying that I’m using dd101 as an alias? If that’s a “No”, then skip the rest of this post. If that's a “Yes”, then read the remainder of this post:
Your powers of supposition, as usual, leave a lot to be desired. I hate to bust your bubble, but dd101 isn’t me, or anyone I know. In fact, it’s strange that you think anyone would do that kind of figmenting. Perhaps that’s an insight into you? It’s called projecting. I know that Serenity once said (in private, of course) that she thought I was Shop and Jabber was Steve, but I was of the opinion this kind of thinking wasn’t prevalent?
The best I can determine, you and a couple of other uptight Americans ran off a new member that lives in England. But, if it will make you feel self-righteous to believe that dd101 is me, so be it.
Now, I don’t suppose you are also saying I had anything to do with the bombing just so that I could force Serenity to start this thread, thereby allowing me the opportunity to leave my response?
If you are suggesting that dd101 is someone else’s figment, perhaps you’d like to enlighten us/me/we/our?
There aren’t simple solutions, just simple people.
Boy, oh boy. The following quote sure isn’t representative:

I think this quote hits the target:

BJ, I hope your friends are ok.
BJ, I would not like anyone to be hurt or killed in such a senseless act.
Whether I agree with a person's actions or not, I will certainly pray for them. I try not to hate people, but their actions are a different matter.

Oops, I'm only getting one of those funny X's now. If the picture doesn't come back it said, "Stupid People Are Happy People".quote:Originally posted by Rick:

BJ, I think your picture site is down. Even your Avatar is X'ing. It appears to make this page slow-to-load.
Rick and I sure taint the same person. He knows how to work a computer, I am too old to learn a new trick (let alone turn one).
If I was going to be someone else, Shop, you'd be one of the better choices.
God Bless America and God Save the Queen.
With prayers for the victims and thanks for England's standing with us.

Chatter, thank you. That was very honorable.
This is interesting. BJ and Serenity didn’t disagree that some of the regulars were rude to dd101. BJ just rationalized it as being OK because he thinks dd101 is just a figment. Although, in that thread BJ did say, “Seems to me it was your prime minister . . . ”. So, BJ must have thought dd101 was a legit Brit at the time BJ left his ill-mannered post.
I sure hope BJ isn’t suggesting some supernatural being (say god or a deity) “forced” some of the members to be rude to dd101.
I’m semi-tempted to post a link to this current thread to dd101’s thread (he might get a kick out of it), but why trash that topic any more than some of the regulars already did.
A little side note: It’s uncertain whether dd101 is/was Yankophobic *before* he came to this forum, but he might be less indecisive about it *after* his “warm” reception. Yes, once again, “our” forum’s ambassadors of goodwill did themselves proud. Anyone have some leftover tar and feathers, or will you be using some rope and a tree the next time?

Sure hope R2 checks in soon
Time for western countries to reduce their nuclear arsenal -- what arab/muslim location should we nuc first!

Well we are a cosy little gang, I'm in this forum 5 minutes and I'm already identified as having a "deep seated USA hatred!" and being a figment of Rick's deluded mind. Gee you people really know how to roll out the red carpet and then cover it up with religion and patriotism!
For those of you who voiced genuine concerns, thank you. As far as I can ascertain my family and friends are all OK and nobody I know was directly involved in any of the explosions. Though I have spoken with several friends who live and work in the areas affected. I wish all those involved heartfelt sympathy for their losses.
Strangely enough we in the UK also have a [hopefully] small proportion of the population who support the National front and are football hooligans in their spare time - no doubt the welcoming factions on this forum will be encouraging them to go around burning a few Mosques to the ground. These atrocities are commited by individuals not by specific races or religions. I sincerely hope the large Muslim community in the UK are outraged and will provide intelligence to speed the conviction of the terrorists. I'm sure there will be very few incidents of ill directed revenge and I hope there will be no internment without due process of the law.
As to the Royal family - personally I think they are leech's and parasites, they are German of Battenberg heritage not British and although they provide many a spectacle for tourists to gawp at, it seems to me they do the country very little service at quite a substantial cost. I think they have very little concern for the general public and exist in a remote world of pampered luxury. They have had the means to promote real social and economic changes, but that would mean sacrificing something at some time - they just won't do that. The best that can be said for them is that the armed forces owe their allegiance to the monarchy not the government - thus we should not be in so much danger of a military coup - [which is really likely in the UK
] It seems what Hitler failed to do by attrition they have achieved by stealth. Still that's my personal opinion and I would also fight for the rights of those who have a contrary opinion, to be able to have it freely.
I don't know why I should bother but if anyone doubts the veracity of my unique individual existance I will privatelly give them my 3 UK email addresses or they can speak to me with cam on messenger. I don't even know where Rick is from - not American methinks.
To all you zenophobic pedants - thanks for the warm welcome and your "down home" hospitality.
Dave [dd101] - or if it makes you happy Rick or Shirley.

Well I never. I have been out in the snow for a few days and what do I find when I get back?
Raised voices, toys out of prams and insulting old ladies and there slightly strange families.
I was under the impression that this was an eBay sniper forum but anything seems to go.
Some of the things that have been said, in my world (the world of manual labour) would have resulted in blood being spilt upon the floor. That’s a bit harsh I hear you say but it dose clarify the process of speaking in haste and repenting in hospital. I find that it is quite good to run the conversation through like a chess game before saying it out loud and see if you can guess the outcome correctly.
This is not the time to be having a go at the US of A or anyone else because of what they have done but I should think offering encouragement would be much better.
As for the bombings in London the mood amongst the lads is one of fierce patriotism and any one with even slight leanings against the royals or the security services or the hospitals or London transport (I'm sure you get the idea) will be subjected to a severe frowning.
Steve
PS Rick. And where was the drunken dammn dog when I needed it???

Thanks for inquiring, Steve. As always, Boozer sends his best, but is still reluctant to share his rum.
I have been trying to get him signed-up for the forum. I’ve checked out the Terms of Service, and it doesn’t specifically mention that members must be human, or even humane.
OK, I’ve been saving this, so since the topic is about bombs, which this will probably do, here’s one I’ll throw:
Q: What's the difference between a girlfriend and a wife?
A: 45 lbs. (I know, it’s not metric but it’s an American joke)
Q: What's the difference between a boyfriend and a husband?
A: 45 minutes.

Well, I guess this one is a little more universal....maybe not all cracks are hairy
True, but Confucius was very specific on this issue. He clearly stated that the gender of the inverted pilot was of the crack hair-baring type.quote:maybe not all cracks are hairy
I’m not sure a licking Graemlin would be the first image that would come to mind considering the anatomy of this conversation. But, I like it better than the red one with all the sharp teeth.
