From that, I can only guess that you DO LIKE brussel sprouts? Right???
Because obviously we shouldn't accept or tolerate you in this newsgroup! But
strangely... we do :)
I don't like em at all really, but I eat them when the need arises.

You are a bit of a div, you know. Sorry, but you are. NTL is a

provide internet access, cable, phone lines, digital TV etc.
A div - I'm not sure of the origin but it is a light-hearted insult meaning

It's acceptable on this newsgroup, I discovered, because I'd been doing it a
lot. Some people do it all the time, i.e. Chloe (not being offensive, Chloe,
love u xx :-)) some people are good at snipping etc. i.e. Gary. Don't feel

I can eat turnip-mustard-collard GREENS. I don't LIKE them, they're really
kinda bland. But spinach, like my Mom fixed for us...was kinda slimy...and
I'd gag on it trying to swallow it. Came a time, I just refused to eat it.
BUT, you can cook it with something else, like rice, make a caserole with
it, and it's fine. but for me, not by itself.

I bloody do! (Ya, I spotted the wink and all, but I'll tell you anyways...)
Well my housemate cooks about 70% of the time, my other housemate about 20%,
and me about 10%. I'm the primary washerupperer, see.
I usually help though.
It ain't hard to chuck some chips in the oven and some sausages in the
frying pan. Then peas or beans/spaghetti in the microwave, is it?
You're female - one who can cook or not? :)

I actually prefer top posting when it's a straight run down the thread. It's
only annoying when the thread branches a million times, and/or I come back
next day. Lots of scrolling about to find what it's in reply to.
Chloe doesn't top post Nick, she doesn't doesn't tend to snip posts. She
does now and then though, it's not a problem - just wearing the old

Then you won't know 'mardy', 'jitty', 'kegs' (not barrels), and all kinds of
things I can't even think of now.

I resent the implication that I should be able to! As a female, it is
socially inacceptable for you to say that I might not be able to cook, and
socially inacceptable for you to not be able to ;-) Actually, I cook every
evening, but I make an awful bloody mess.

Well I love NTL so much that I picked the name for a little Counter-Strike
clan. Basically, myself and my 2 housemates at Uni wanted to show we knew
each other whilst online, and so needed a clan name. Got talking with some
other guy on the server one night, who hated BT, and it went from there.

Well, 3.1 days a month, 3 days a month, or 2.8 days a month, depending on
the month ;)
(Or 2.9 if it's a leap year, etc)
I gave a rough figure. I help lots, so quite often I do about half. I don't

So does the housemate that cooks the most. Not just in the kitchen either.
Put him in a completely empty room, and he'd make a godawful mess. He

Mardy is just mardy :)
Erm, moody, I suppose, or 'having a bag on'. Kids tend to get mardy when
they can't have something they want, or whatever.
Jitty is an alleyway. (But not what I imagine American alleyways to be like)
Kegs is a term for trousers round here. Not really used that I hear, but it
was the only other one I could remember. We did a big brainstorm of local
words in an English lesson once...

SHhhh! Quiet now...had to plug in another keyboard (hot coffee is something
I really enjoy, but it appears to do weird things to the inside of the
keyboards, I think it makes em drunk, they start typing all funny and stuff
;O)) and these dang keys are too small! Hmpfh. I'll get used to it,
leastwise they all work! And just one character per keystroke is a bonus!
THE reasons I top-post:
I never considered it undesirable in any way, didn't think anyone else did
either.
It's easier to do. Hit REPLY and the cursor is right there in the top left
blinking away...and the SIG line...that's the only place Outlook Express
seems capable of putting the thing automatically.
Since it's so easy to top-post, and it doesn't seem to make reading
difficult, why do so many hate it, to the point of some folks kill-filing
anyone who they see top-posting?
I've been on the internet since the public COULD get on with local access
providers. I was using Win3.1 and 95 wasn't even out yet. I think there
was Eudora Lite back then. But I top posted, and nobody even mentioned it
that I can remember.
No, I'm NOT making a huge issue out of this. I'm just trying to decide
whether bottom posting is really better.
I know me n my fat fingers are having some FUN getting used to this little
keyboard. But it FEELS good. It works, I'll use it...time for another cup

Well, not a great deal. Bike into Uni when I'm there. I do Tong Bei (Wu Shu)

Yeah, I have to delete that blank top line every time I post.
And I stick my sig in via the menu. I used to have it done automatically. I
guess it went at the top, in which case I copied the entire relevant bits of
the post and dragged them up top. What fun!

In long conversation with many posts, probably it is better, yes.
The thing is when you get lots of replies in a post, some people top
posting, some bottom posting. If you go from the last post and try to read
through the whole thread, it's really hard to see which bits go where. The
original message ends up in the middle somewhere!

As my father (former Paratrooper/pilot/small airplane mechanic) has said (and I
am paraphrasing here, but the gist is the same) when people get on an airplane,
they are all insane. The people who jump out, regain their sanity before the
people who wait for it to land. They have realized (midflight) that people
belong on the ground, and take the quickest route to get back there. <G> Of
course, his knees are a mess (from jumping) so he has decided to simply stay
insane in the air. <G> When he can be in the air. Life has thrown him a few
curves, and I don't know the last time he was able to go up.

So late in the day for me (10:15am = 4:15pm you time?) and I'm still not

heheh, DUKE! I can't wait for that film! Or the Doom film!
And that saying actually is a well known one that has it's roots in
Latin, "Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoset" which means "Kill them all.
God will know His own." which Arnaud Amaury misquoted saying, "Kill
them all, for the Lord knows them that are His." Eventually be became
"Kill Them All, Let God Sort Them Out!" when it started to be used in
the US military. I think it's a line from Patton or some other big deal
war film.

I love LOVE women with white/silver hair! I once bought all the books
this gorgeous thing was buying at the college bookstore just because of
her natural silver hair and she was only 30-esque.
I think silver is called silver for one of two reasons.
One: She loves wearing silver like I do.
Two: She's a big Duran Duran fan, like I am.

I agree! I never would have thought it could be offensive to some people to
top-post. I didn't even realize there was such a thing (until I read the
Check This thread where some people (Silver knows who they are!) go wonkers
because of top-posting...).
Who cares where a reply is? I just let it depend on the message I'm replying
to. Like now, I wanted to react to something you said, so inter-posting
seemed logical. But if I just had one point to make, I would have top-posted
it without thinking anything of it... (Only after reading the Check This
thread I *would* think twice about it, since I wouldn't want to be shot (or
kill-filed, as I think it's called) simply for a reply)

I'm not sure about that. I don't think I have a sig-line in my messages, but
I kinda assumed it would go to the bottom, exactly the same as with email?

I don't think it's *really* better, it's just that some people have attached

Wu Shu, Kung Fu in other words. But that's not it's proper name, it's just
what most people call it! We've not done fighting stuff, it's more about the
style, the form, and fitness. We could be good fighters in 6 months

those planes really fly themselves, with just a bit of help from the people,
it's landing that can get dicey (there's something to crash in to). You

Yes, but only marginally. Get a tossed salad! I'll have to make you eat
loads of that when we're married, ya know. Of course with my views on equal
rights etc. you'll be cooking. On second thoughts - from what I know of you,

Well, actually my father had a flight sim on his computer, and I did alright at
it, but there was that psychological factor. No people would die if I stalled
the engine and couldn't get it to catch again. :) Just not something I think I
will do. Tried once, but only lasted about 10 seconds before telling him to take
back over.
I am afraid I will pull a Lara on the plane. (TR2.. hehehe.. my dad has actually
done that a few times (never through pilot error thankfully), but as they say,
any landing you can walk away from, is a good one.)
I don't know if the numbers support it or not, but I feel I am more likely to
survive a car accident than a small plane crash. Something about all that
falling when it is a plane crash. On the bright side, my son has not inherited
my fear. Everytime we go to the local AFB, he points at the planes and says he
wants one. If he escapes the family vision, he might get his wish. We'll see...
(a third generation going into the Air Force.. I know my husband would be proud
and so would my late father-in-law, as my husband was the only child to follow
in his footsteps.) Of course, we have at least 14 years before that is figured
out. So now I wait. :)
