But yes it does - to the extent I was even going to word one of my replies to you just now as "in a way in which you say is sarcastic" rather than "in a sarcastic way" - as I don't, from just the text, even know it is there at all and, to me, it's therefore just an assertion on your part which has not been (or not yet been) proven. I don't mean any offence by that - and I'm sure none is taken! But, yes, I don't see any sarcasm in the way in which that was worded and came across as I read [red] it, even though you "obviously" do (or at least, you tell me that there is sarcasm there and, I suspect I have no reason to doubt what you say).

:rotfl::rotfl:

Comment on my own post (or maybe an additional thought):

Are there opinions on whether something is sarcastic or not?:think::rotfl: Or different views on what someone's intention may or may not have been?

Or - was someone being sarcastic and that is that, as a matter of fact?

No, I think sarcasm is very obvious. It's one if the things that DS2 doesn't get, even face to face. He takes the spoken word at face value (no pun intended!) ......because he can't interpret the things that go with it like facial expressions and tone of voice. So the words are all he has to go on.
Strangely enough, he's quite expressive himself but he can't read it in other people.

1 x ASDA Chosen by You British Cream Jam Finger Donuts... £1.20 £0.57 (none glitchy donuts since glitchy ones were unavailable)

2 x Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations - Cookie N... £1.18 £0.80 (need to buy Marvellous creations in 3s to compare to Ts)

Then I'd have left them on the shelf and travelled to a different store which did have them. And probably spent more getting to that other store than the saving I'd have made on the Donuts:o:o:rotfl::rotfl:.

Those Cadbury Creations - not really my pricing 40p elsewhere (or equivalent on T's mbuy) as A's pricing not favourable to me. How do they compare vs Morries?

Let me guess... full price on each of them. Even though both different ones probably on 40p in Morries (until 2/11) and Cookie Nut certainly. I suspect they have just the Banana one at 40p on the APG (not bought here). So - A vs 59p each at M! My guess!:)

Tbh nobody looks, people come on ask the same question that's been asked & answered a million times before.. 99% are to lazy to use msm, msl to find out how something compared let alone read the first post or click a link.
I don't mind helping anyone I just think sometimes people TA & expect everything handed to them without doing any work.

I'm still about, but just wanted to add my agreement here. I have seen today for example people asking a question and yet the very answer they need was one or two posts back.
Other people cannot make out lists of what item is v which shop. For goodness sake, what do they want? A full ruddy shopping list.


Most Eliters live with list upon list upon list. We have to do it lest we forget.


I don't mind helping if I know the answer but when the same people put forward the same request, time and again, I wanna stamp my foot and say 'please look back to previous page'

Oh so it's a matter of opinion!

But, I suspect, you're not writing completely accurately - the same as most people are not technically accurate on every word - and really you just mean "No, sarcasm is very obvious". Or, probably, I'm being inaccurate because I have read the word "the" in there - i.e. "the sarcasm is obvious" (namely it's in relation to the sarcasm in locarr's post).

I don't know, I think I do tend to get sarcasm in the real world - there's tone of voice to tell, but then again I do find it difficult (or even impossible) to work out people's intentions sometimes. It does make me very vulnerable. I probably ought not to say this as it now allows other people, in that knowledge, to take advantage of that fact and deliberately say things in order to try to get me to make a social mistake. (I won't always realise that people are being deliberate...)

The sarcasm in locarr's post was absolutely not obvious whatsoever. Completely the opposite, for me. I did not detect it was there at all. It may be "obvious" to you, but it is (was) not clear, or obvious, at all to me. I don't know how you imputed a tone of voice into the way in which you read what had been written.

Correct - I have to go by words rather than facial expressions, although tone of voice (albeit minus a decisive facial expression, unless totally totally obvious - i.e. a smile is happy, a pulled face is sad. Beyond that... nothing!) would normally allow me to detect sarcasm. Or maybe I misunderstand... maybe I "get" humour in the sense of laughing at comedy - and seem to be laughing at the jokes the same as other people and getting the same thing (or more or less) but that's not the same as sarcasm. You can also have sarcastic humour.:think:

Oh god no, I don't do travelling anymore :eek: Living literally just around the corner from Sada and my place of work being just over a mile away I've become very lazy when it comes to travelling
