There must be some cozmik synchronicity or something going on - I was
thinking about K,F,&O just the other day!

Yawn...

 

[ChairmanOfTheBored]

Yeah, you could have shows with wiki-scripts, generated voluntarily on
the internet. I bet they'd be good.

You guys all starred together in that film "Total Retard". I can tell.

You were all stand-ins for each other.

 

[John Larkin]

Yawn...

Oh, sorry, were we keeping you awake?

So, how many hours a day do you watch TV?

Well, you've already admitted that you're less than a man - what's
the count on substitute body parts so far?

Thanks,

[ChairmanOfTheBored]

Oh, sorry, were we keeping you awake?

I knew a twit like you would miss it. People have for centuries
mentioned how many folks yawn at the same time.

 

[ChairmanOfTheBored]

So, how many hours a day do you watch TV?

I work all day. That takes up nearly twelve hours of my day from door
egress to door ingress.

When I am here, I play PC and PS3 games, perform other PC related
operations, and SOMETIMES watch TV. My TV is usually used for watching
movies.

If you need a clue, those are written by "writers" as well.

 

[Martin Griffith]

What's wrong, martin? Did you run out of anti America, anti Bush,

How can you be for bush, he is an idiot, he avoided one war, and lied
his way into another.

I'm not that anti american.
The right keep repeating how good the US is, and it ain't really true,
maybe for a small majority, but for the lower income dudes,life is
not that great.

anti Free speech BS today?

No way, but not the USA version of free speech, heavily butchered by
fox and that Oz guy ( not phil, he is relatively sensible).

Really? Where did Jesus state that it was OK to lay around and live
off your wife's income? In fact, where does he state that its ok for
any able bodied man not to work? Quote the Book, Chapter and Verse, for
all of please.

Where does it say that he cannot, but it is common practice in several
countries.

Well, nobody in JC's alleged life time actually wrote about him, all
alleged documents are from many decades later. If JC was such a crowd
puller, why no docs, he should have appeared important, so some
documentation should have been created

If there is no God,, why are your panties in such a knot?

Are you assuming that if you don't believe in a god that you can't
think?

Screw up ?

:-( definately, I ain't John Larkin/ Win Hill, and probably neither
are you, and I accept that

Well, if JC could contrive the miracle that would seem to be necessary
to get me a job, I might have to review my opinion of the spin the
Christian churchs have put on his brief but spectacular career.

If you were half as smart as you think you are, there would be jobs
thrown at your feet.

As far as the scriptures have anything to say about able-bodied men
not working, they all seem to think that is okay if the able-bodied
man concerned is doing his duty by his religion - and I'm occupying
myself criticising nonsensical statements published on
sci.electroncs.design, which would seem to me to be close enough.

....while leaching off your wife.

Technically speaking, I'm not living off my wife's income, but my
unemployment benefit

Oh, so you're leaching off the taxpayer too. You *are* a bum.

- we live rather more comfortably than I would if
I were paying my own way,

I'm sure. You're leaching off the taxpayer *and* your wife. One can
live well off two "incomes".

but my wife isn't going to stint herself to
make some cranky Yank happy.

Nah, just some cranky Aussie. Better get back to the dusting, Sloman

Hmm, so it's a one way system in your counrty. Guys pay money into the
gubberment, but no money out, unless it's to corporations?

In civilised domains, they help out the needy. Mr S. has probably paid
a lot of tax.

Maybe it is payback time

Employment Compensation is not a tax funded program, dipshit.

Employment Compensation income gets taxed as normal income as well.

If you were half as smart as you think you are, there would be jobs
thrown at your feet.

When we moved up to Cambridge in 1982, I was able to choose between
two possilbe jobs, which I found pretty remarkable.

I am pretty good at what I do, but that doesn't mean that there are
that many people around at any given time who need to hire someone new
with my specific skills.

There are occasions when new technology opens up a new market and
everybody is trying to develop new hardware, and people with the right
skills are inundated with job offers, but it doesn't happen often, and
it doesn't last long.

Oh, so you're leaching off the taxpayer too. You *are* a bum.

The same bureaucratic system that pays my unemployment benefit also
cost me my last job. If that is the way the Dutch want to organise
their system, who am I to argue with it?

I'm sure. You're leaching off the taxpayer *and* your wife. One can
live well off two "incomes".

My wife's income, on it's own, would be perfectly adequate. I resigned
from a perfectly satisfactory job in the U.K. so that my wife could
take a - very good - job in the Netherlands that paid rather more than
we'd been getting from our two reasonably well-paid jobs in the U.K.

Nah, just some cranky Aussie. Better get back to the dusting, Sloman
(do you wear the short black skirt too?). The boss gets home soon.

We can afford a cleaning lady. She did her fours hours today, as she
does every week.
There's a guy who does a morning in the garden every week too - like
me, he did a Ph.D. in Chemistry, but he moved into gardening rather
than electronics.

I used to do the garden when we lived in Cambridge, but we've got half
an acre here, and I can't keep up. The trees are a real problem - we
finally got hold of a tree-feller a couple of weeks ago, and he cut
back the beech the week before last, and took out the dead birch last
week.

No one is arguing that Jim doesn't have a good grip of electronics -
which is where he's doing his presentations.

He's a less reliable source on the wider world.

[email protected] hath wroth:


I think I've found the problem. It's where you're living:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nijmegen>
"As to this date Nijmegen is still known as Havana on the Waal
among some Right-wingers. The Socialist Party, the Green Party
and Labour have a solid two-third majority in City Council,
making Nijmegen the only major city in The Netherlands with a
solely Left-wing government."

My apologies, but I just couldn't resist. Carry on.

It's not my problem - quite the reverse. I quite like the way the
Nijmegen gemeenteraad works - though it doesn't do anything for me,
since we actually live in Goesbeek (the municipal boundary runs along
our street).

The woman who was mayor here for the past few years is now Minister
for Inland Affairs

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guusje_ter_Horst

She did a Ph.D. in Psychology and took a particular interest in my
wife's research group, so I got to meet her. She's obviously a career
politician in the Dutch Labour Party, and a pretty impressive
character.

And he still can't even spell my name right. How pathetic can you get.

I must say, if I couldn't manage better invective than that, I
probably would try to kill myself - but if I couldn't manage better
invective than that, Alzheimer's would have to have progressed far
enough that I'd have rely on over-eating to do myself in.

How's the diet going Jim? The last photos you posted suggested that
you were carrying more excess flesh than I'd want to lug around on a

My Webster's states, for the noun:

2. An insulting or abusive word or expression."

#2 seems apropos, yes?

I suit my style to the company I keep - I wouldn't want to show you up
by being excessively polite, but I think that even you would admit
that my posts aren't primarily about invective.

You know very well that I do look for work - as I see it the problem
is that there isn't a lot of it around for me to find. You will - of
course - have your own opinion about the state of the Dutch job market
for elderly electronic engineers, but I'm not going to add a new page
to my website detailing one hundred and one things a nitwit can do
with a 555.

Oh. Really?

If one can create the 'illusion' of reality, then that person must
know what reality is or what someone else wants reality to be, in
which case he is objectively warping reality, implying that he knew
what reality was before the warp.

Pull the other leg. I've met enough guys who can talk up a storm but
can't make anything that works to give the lie to that particular
delusion.

There's no way of knowing how little one knows since that would
require knowing enough to gauge.

But we're not talking about expertise, we're talking about reality.

So you set yourself up as judge, jury, and executioner, then throw
him a bone while kicking him so that you can preserve your delusion
of being superman?

Judge and jury, in this particular case. Executioner? Being ignorant
is a capital crime, but the universe passes sentence - it's called
evolution in action. And it doesn't take a superman to know more than
you or Jim.

It's not my problem, it's your problem. And what makes it pretty much
insoluble is that you are complacent about it.

I have, at times, wished that I could perch myself on top of a
building and shoot the gang boy retard "taggers" in the ass with a
really powerful pellet rifle when I spot them "tagging" some newly
installed public item, like a trash can or bus stop sign, or
sidewalks, etc.

My own form of "tagging" I guess, but I see the idiots as dogs
attempting to mark "territory" they do not even own.

Sad, really.

I think it is their fucking parents that should have to pay for
their
stupidity. Maybe then, we would have parents that keep their
retarded twit, gang boy retard kids indoors at night, instead of out
with markers and paint cans defacing the world around them, and
deciding to escalate their criminal intent as the years pass in
their gang boy mentality.

Actually i like shooting taggers with something when they tag,
preferably something that makes them violently ill for days.

There parents are often too damn tired from working two jobs to do the
parenting required. It is a bitch being ill educated and poor.
