Does the phrase "pissing in the wind" mean anything to you Mr. CTM? It's extremely relevant when you are trying to debate anything with Ed.

Your words betray your real feelings, *now* you've started describing the Range Rover as "flash". Clearly this guy and his cars got under your skin, especially as (as you've assumed), he owns a Porsche too. His shoes > your shoes and you want to portray him as a "prat"/"*anker", to feel better about it. One of the oldest reactions to jealousy that there is. Also one of the more obvious ones. >> Do you also believe that you don't look like a sad prat with a chip on >> his shoulder for starting this thread? > >Only you think that. I suspect a great many people would agree, I just wouldn't expect to find many of them in here. >> If he were to see this thread, what do you think he'd think of you? > >as I said before, why would I care what some prat who puts "my other car is >a Porsche" in his car thinks of me? Whether you care or not still remains irrelevant to how you once again flounder to avoid this question. Got the balls to give it a go this time? If he were to see this thread, what do you think he'd think of you? >> Ah, so all the world bar two people agree with you eh? I can think of >> great swathes of people who would think you very sad and jealous for >> starting this kind of thread on usenet. Including me, of course. > >you obviously associate with the sort of chavs who think such stickers >"cool". Somebody has to I suppose. I associate with mostly people who would be pretty ambivalent about it, wouldn't think it were cool, wouldn't think the guy was a prat and *certainly* wouldn't run to usenet to start a sad thread about it.

I'm not suggesting he would agree with you, I've already said that it's clear that he doesn't think he's a prat. >It's blindingly obvious he wouldn't. Indeed it is. > You seem to think that makes some kind of point. It doesn't. Probably because that's not my point. My point is that you seem to think he's a "prat" for putting a mere sticker in his "flash" Range Rover, yet I wonder what you think he would think of *you* for then deciding to start a thread in a usenet group calling him names about it. Are you going to give it a go or would you like me to answer this question for you? >This is how it works:- >People used to put that sticker in their cars as a joke at their own >expense (drawing attention to thier lack of an interesting car) . Yep. >He thinks, because presumably he has a Porsche, it's now hilarious for him >to have one and do the opposite ans draw attention to his nice car. Which is the "nice car", you're referring to here? Do you think that he's drawing attention to the Porsche or the Range Rover? But I thought you considered it to be "boast[ing]", now you seem to think that he'll think it to be "hilarious"? > He's wrong (except in the eyes of fellow chavs). Do chavs often own Range Rovers and Porsches? Not in my experience, but is it important to you that you describe him as a chav now? Clearly you've already taken umbrage with his "flash" Range Rover, so I suspect you'd have some kind of downer on him regardless of this mere sticker. >Understand now? Thought not. Bye. Oh I understand alright, it's been very clear to me from the outset. Jealousy and a chip on your shoulder WRT "flash" cars and people not "underplay[ing]" it as much as you have decided that they ought to. His shoes > your shoes and I doubt he would give a hoot about your sad usenet projections.

I would expect that the guy would think that you were a small-minded jealous and sad individual to create this thread. Of course you don't care what he thinks just like he's very unlikely to care what you think. Difference is, he's driving a Range Rover Vogue and a Porsche and you're creating usenet threads about it. You're *super* cool.. |
