Go Figure

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Not wanting to sound like a whinging killjoy but can people stop using the above phrase please? Its been used far too much, and it doesn't necessarily improve your argument one way or t'other.

Yes. I've woken up in a BAD MOOD and this displacement activity helps relieve it!

Aaah, that bit was really tiny type!

@ Rafster - I don't think you'll get lambasted for this, although the phrase doesn't bother me that much. Hope that your BAD MOOD lightens up a bit though. :wink:

You're right. It's just a sad bit of hero worship. 'Pathetic' is the right word for it.

It is pretty sad.

Is it alright to say "Go, and indeed, figure," though. 'Cos I think I have done that... :oops:

Much more intensely annoying to me is when someone makes an oblique or somewhat cryptic comment, and then punctuates it with a :von: smiley in place of a full stop. Yeeees, well done, you've now appropriated all of Our Fearless Leader's icy cynical cool :roll:

Although there are occasional flashes elsewhere, the tension is fortunately usually limited to General Chat. Make of that what you will. By no means a dying light.

I thought by "dying light" he meant the shorter days :?:

Not HL itself. Good grief. No, nay, never!

Hm, on second reading, I guess that is a more logical reading. :oops: I hope that that is what James meant.

Z'acktly what I meant Martin, I believe Claire can testify to these shorter days, even with an unusually warm October. :|

I hate "go figure" too and I also hate when people at work say to me by way of a greeting "hello you!"

I have a name and it's even printed on my name badge as you have obviously forgotten
