Chris_D said:Your grammar and sentence structure are truly appalling fred! A true sign of a tardy but bonafide gobshite! 5 demerits and a 3 page essay on 'why I must use correct grammar' by end of tomorrow' morning's breaktime! :lol:firebobby said:Chris_D said:Loquaciousness is just a posh or polite way of calling someone a gobshite
e.g.'he was a rather loquatious chap, with an irritating propensity for rambunctiousness and a somewhat irksome leaning towards outright circumlocution and an unending preference for the periphrastic'
But thanks all the same Colin!:lol:
Marlon getting all posh
I think you will find, that's French for gobshite and Chris truly is a gobshite.
Can also be called "far to much time on your hands" but around these parts we just say he's got verbal diarrhea him
Congrats on your milestone Chris
Right I'm off to the lifer's lounge, it's just fantastic there, it lifts the forum to another level
Love you man
What's a proper job these days? Does it even exist?
I'd much rather be working for myself but reaching this milestone in such a relatively short amount of time as well as comments in this thread has certainly made me realise that the 20-30 mins during a typical working day i spend here could be translated into potential lost profit from my business.
Think about it; that's at least 2 1/2 hours a week that I could spend searching for new contracts on the EURES portal to bid on.
Or drafting a contract bid. Or assessing potential new subcontractors. Or seeking out new developing markets. Or making sure my pricing structures are up to date and reflect current market demand.
But no, I make a conscious decision to spend that time here, sharing my wisdom, wit, waffle and wonderous musings with you, the community... Because i care. :lol:

I sometimes wonder to myself in moments of soul searching and meaningful self reflection, wether I too should get myself a "proper job"
It's at this point I generally snap out of such musings & decide I'm much better off staying with London Underground

Zedward enjoyed his stint with London Underground, job sharing with his cousin (me)
Ultimately he was the architect of his own downfall though as he was far to productive in the eyes of the RMT :lol:
Such is the standard of logistical planning here that if zedward had been rested in one of the many "Area 51" facilities then the chances are he would never have been found again
