I know you are, but what am I?

A boring condescending cantankerous cunt, since you ask.

Knowing that you are much the same intellectual level as newalaan and how much you hate to be left out Bradley - this is just for you - I know you are, but what am I!

Combat - what does philippics mean?

An abusive tirade

Actually:

A philippic is a fiery, damning speech, or tirade, delivered to condemn a particular political actor. The term originates with Demosthenes, who delivered several attacks on Philip II of Macedon in the 4th century BC.

You may recall that Demosthenes tried to warn the Greeks about the dangers of Phillip of Macedon. And we all know what happened to the Greeks. So it is actually a compliment, although I am quite sure that our little lapdog combat did not quite have that in mind.

Of course, once you reminded me of Demosthene it all made sense

As I remember, Kathy Kirby was a Diva in publisising the works of Demosthene.

She will be missed

It sounds like our Presbyterian lay preacher newalaan in full flood.

Speaking of flooding, rather than infesting each and every thread with your many forms of enlightenment, perhaps you could consider a forum sabbatical (as promised) and instead issue a concentrated annual collection of all your thoughts, wisdom, outpourings and general slop in the form of an annual Thailand almanac, Notes from the Ghetto or the like. It would save a considerable amount of bandwidth.

The trouble with wikipedia and google searches is that even the dimmest of half-wits now have access to information way beyond their thinking capabilities.

Once In Awhile's entire presence on here is spent following other members like Combat, Justme, Wesley and you around and posting snipes and dickheaded attacks at them.

I've had him on ignore for that long I never knew he still loved me Beachy...

Yes, it's easy to forget, since "Once and always an arsehole" isn't as skilled at expressing his love as say, Surfcrest. :rolling:

Maybe he has to spread it around too much... to others like Brad, for example:

Don't worry poodle, knowing what a narcissist you are, and how you need constant validation, be assured that I still love you best.
And that's even taking into consideration the post (now deleted) where you want to have me killed.
