hercule poirot Posted August 19, 2020 Report Posted August 19, 2020 ^ Worth a try, thank you. Having checked the technical spec, it appears suitable for a spike of up to 275v. I'm no meteorologist but possibly lightning may be slightly higher than that? Anyway, I shall purchase as anything that stops the internet and phone cutting out is a benefit. Thanks again. Quote

hercule poirot Posted August 24, 2020 Report Posted August 24, 2020 Cut the grass this afternoon, once more towards the end of next week should wrap it up for this year. Quote

Being the bigger man (literally and figuratively) I offer you the olive branch of truce. Virtual pals? When you get tired of "jousting", you try to quit like a lickle girl. So WHY do you deliberately stoke up confrontations and act like a total tit? Is this a substitute life for you? Not enough drama in your boring life? So you cut the grass? Who fucking cares? This isn't the hat. Post something interesting and worthwhile to read for a change. I'm not holding my breath. Quote
hercule poirot Posted August 24, 2020 Report Posted August 24, 2020 The interesting thing about grass cutting this year is the prolific abundance of those large brown mushrooms there appears to be this year. Most unusual. Do you spike and fine sand your lawn towards the beginning of October Squeakmeister? Or do you recommend March for this activity? Quote
hercule poirot Posted August 24, 2020 Report Posted August 24, 2020 To add to 'what I've been doing today: Between last night and this morning I watched all 5 episodes of the documentary:Outcry. I won't spoil it for anyone but the incompetence of the police department in question is amazing. Well worth a watch. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I don't cut the grass. My wife does ours and at least once a week is what she reckons it needs. Takes her an hour so better her wasting her time than me wasting mine. I would pay somebody myself but she enjoys it. Edited August 24, 2020 by rocket_scientist Quote

I don't care who cuts your postage stamp. The question was: When do you spike and sand? Quote
rocket_scientist Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Posted August 24, 2020 Are you going to ignore the questions? About why you want confrontation? About why you insulted by PM? Will you explain and apologise? Quote

royal deeside cowie Posted August 24, 2020 Report Posted August 24, 2020 My dearest brother. There is concern about the Colonel Kurtz-like spell you hold the natives under here. The mutant hordes are gathering, ready to breach your turret and release these men from the trance you have cast upon them. Quote

That might be the case but you won't be part of any revolution, unless you can flood the forum with more of your ilk, who also liked your gratuitous sickness towards my wife, unless you can find a quorum of good men who don't see that 99% of your posts being personal attacks being obsessional and creepy, unless you can actually show something worth following. Wifeless drunk loser. Quote
royal deeside cowie Posted August 24, 2020 Report Posted August 24, 2020 You can't keep hiding behind your wife forever, brother. Using her as a pawn in your quest for control is cold and callous. Your methods are unsound and it may be the case we have to send in some of the NE's finest to free the natives from your vice-like grip. You are using them as nothing more than errand boys, in this, the compound in which you have become so comfortable and unchallenged. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Posted August 24, 2020 I think you leave me no option but to send you back to Coventry. Thing is, I can't just sit back and watch sickness happen. You drive me to object and respond. I don't deal with sad fucks in life and I don't wish to deal with you online either. So fuck off arsehole. Quote
hercule poirot Posted August 24, 2020 Report Posted August 24, 2020 ^ You love the attention squeakums! Indeed you crave attention. Quote

University Challenge is starting so you have half an hour to consider this; Why do you seek confrontation? What drives you to behave like this? I am genuinely intrigued as to what makes people, online predominantly, WANT to find situations where they can be nasty or bullying or whatever it is that floats your boats? There are loads like you. Please explain to an old man like me because I genuinely don't understand it? I could b wrong that you are sick fucks but until you explain it, I remain in ignorance. Quote

hercule poirot Posted August 24, 2020 Report Posted August 24, 2020 Did you go to University Mr S? I went to both Aberdeen University and Robert Gordon's, sometimes both in the same day. I used to deliver parcels for a living. Quote

rocket_scientist Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Posted August 24, 2020 And I can assure you that many on here think I'm an idiot. I've proved this on many an occasion over many years. But what is YOUR problem? Quote

You're a fucking sick cunt and you're not worth "engaging" with. You're also a fucking coward, jumping in with your mates all the time, kindred spirits as you all are. You are pollution and filth.
