    Probably. But it's better than being a dumbarse. :cool:
    What a comeback! Well done my son! :rotfl:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    It's extraordinarily naive to pose such a ridiculously simplistic question as "Do you leave your PC on all the time?"

    It's a dumb question to ask, particularly in this particular sub-forum.

    I'm surprised you can see what you're typing what with your head being stuck so far up your @rse. :)

    I leave mine on 24/7 a lot, for torrents etc.

    Also saves me having to switch the heating on.... 100% energy efficiency.

    It's pretty clear up what your own head was if you needed to get £38,705 into debt before you had a "lightbulb moment". :rolleyes:

    I know how I'd describe someone who did that and you most certainly wouldn't be "proud" to be called it. :o

    I also know what I think of someone who devotes three years of their life to making 24,334 postings on a forum. That might seriously surprise you. :shocked:

    Suffice it to say that it's very reassuring to be criticised by an abusive and obsessive fool. :)


    (Sorry, Pro, but wit would have eluded this cretin.)


    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    But I can guess. Ever occur to you why it keeps being said to you? Ever consider that they might have a point?

    There's a reason why people who promulgate that they are reduced to living in a greenhouse through their own folly are unwise to lob crudely-fashioned rocks at those who possess bricks.

    And there are some who regard your "signature" not as a cathartic confession but as a self-indulgent vanity that conspicuously exhibits no concern for anyone but yourself.

    The troll was the one who made a fool of himself by failing to grasp that the whole purpose of a quote whose poster he criticised for its mispunctuation was posted to highlight that very mispunctuation.

    Being called a "twit" for doing so was a very friendly and gentle admonishment by the poster he criticised wrongly (and who has yet to receive any apology other than being called a "Troll").

    The site is actually infested with rude people who, when confronted with the fact that they have made an indisputable error are too vain and insecure to admit it and who try, instead, to bluster their way out of it by being offensive to the person to whom they owe an apology.

    But others see it and form their own opinion of the twit.

    Having accused another poster of not being able to spell "one" - perhaps you should check your punctuation ! :rolleyes:
