Reading from the beginning of
GBeebies – do you have to ask if it started with a Guardian link? – I was freshly struck how the other Pale Rider's absence is a loss to the forum. I wasn't particularly fond of him, but that's neither here nor there. Come back Paley! From the grave, if necessary. I'd really like your opinion if the previous sentence was in
poor taste.Post Of The Day:
Morons
I'll just plough on through the personal abuse and try to get somewhere.
So how far do you think that the coalition of Stop Oil should be allowed to go in their protest? Because like I said, you are generally pretty supportive of the right to protest by all sorts of groups, obviously right up until they do something you personally don't agree with, at which point they become morons.
Now for some people that 'moron' line is closer, for others further away. You have found your line (although it may have been closer if you read the Guardian more closely). How does it feel to have reached the point of becoming a right-wing fascist control freak trying to stop legal peaceful protest?
There would be readers who baulk at this honour bestowed upon Craig the cyclist if I hadn't already weeded them out a few posts ago when I gave it to jowwy the hut.
A POTD to Craig on a thread called 'Morons' is peak NACF, which is to say, I've never been afraid to go there. "Go where?" ask morons if I was plebeian enough to call people morons. Though I do have a list.
I've never been a huge fan of Van Gogh's sunflowers.
Doctor Who doesn't do much for me either.
You know who really gets my goght? [That's how I grew up pronouncing it.] People who waste tomato products.
I don't mind them gluing themselves to things, all part of the rich tapestry of life. Glue away, preferably out of harm's way: a museum seems the perfect venue.
Ah, museums.
I miss them so. Even the ones that
wind me up.
I belong in a museum. Wait a minute – I'm in one. It looks a lot like home.
People shuffle through, gawk at the exhibits, sometimes get caught in
a loop, shuffle back out again.
Look, here's an exhibit in the process of construction:
It will never end!
Matticus may be right. I had a few ideas
EVEN ASSHATS* CAN CHOOSE INTERESTING AVATARS*a term of artbut seem to have lost, as George Bush v.1 memorably put it unfortunately not in this video as advertised, the big mo.
Perhaps I'll return to it in the fullness of time. Like I hope to return to London some day.
Let's head back to the beginning of this post.
There's a fun clip of Graham Norton taking the piss out of Cleese but then making the point that we shouldn't really care what Norton has to say either which means that by watching and promoting the clip we end up in a weird destruction of the fabric of logic.
Here's the tweet, with some good replies. Here's the clip in a format I can actually embed:
Graham Norton is cowardly.
AuroraSaab concurs. (We agree on more than we disagree. Alas the woman is deadly dull. I base this solely on her lack of curiosity about NACF, which is another list. It's not in indelible ink!)
I thought Campbell's was the artists' choice when it came to soup?
You're right, and note how this act of transgressive creativity is already feeding what George Steiner would call a 'visioning' of the established narrative, itself a creative response rather than parasitic commentary.
Keep up, we're on Morons again.
What happens @Craig the cyclist is that people post something. You then apply your own thought process so as to take portray them as having said something different accuse the poster of hypocrisy.
You did exactly the same thing to me. I questioned facts around people too long in hospital and you made a completely false parallel about people losing their homes.
To do it once might be a mistake, to do it twice and more looks deliberate.
Whether it's trolling or not it does not advance debate. [I don't rate Bromptonaut enough to bump up the point size in this nested quote. He can come back from this, but it will take work.]
There can't be people still unclear about Craig's bad-faith MO, surely?

Excellent link, thank you kindly.
Did Craig deserve that POTD? Probably not; there are far
better candidates. Life can be unfair.
How else are you going to learn?
People on here aren't looking for debate they just want to be agreed with.
No they don't ...
Better out than in.
you ain't seen me, right?It's an
art. You're welcome.
