Ian Thorpe bares his soul

[fountainhall]

I think we all know by know that fountainhall and accuracy are strangers to one another.

And according to your own words, no doubt we all know -

Those who mock are among those most commonly labelled "trolls".

- or as another poster wrote of you -

a proper nitpicking twit. You don't seem to have much of a life

[scottish-guy]

Ladies - please!

This behaviour is most unseemly!

Could you not just synchronise your diaries for a partially-clothed mud-wrestling bout (including hair-pulling), like the rest of us?

:ymparty:

SG - My! My! That's a funny old post given some of the more obviously stinging remarks that have been posted here in recent months. Why spoil the fun? After all, that's what kommentariat enjoys, as he himself recently posted (about another poster) -

I've yanked your chain (again) and you have responded (as anticipated). I've had my fun with you for the day; let's see what tomorrow brings.

[scottish-guy]

My post was somewhat less than serious

Since we're talking about fun, what's even more hilarious is that kommentariat and accuracy are hardly "strangers to one another" -

Chavez at least had Argentina's oil revenues to rely on

Those darn spell checks have a lot to answer for!

[scottish-guy]

Maybe Chavez had special access.

But hey - haven't you heard - having the largest oil reserves in Western Europe would be an enormous burden to an independent Scotland - if you believe the shite spouted by the NO camp

Maybe Chavez had special access

To Argentina? If he was sending oil to Argentina he'd have needed a 5,000 km pipeline (and that's as the crow flies)!

Re North Sea Oil, I've written somewhere before about the UK government's suppression in the mid 1970s of Professor McCrone's Report. This only came to light 30 years later as a result of a request under the Freedom for Information Act. The McCrone Report made it clear that an independent Scotland could have become as rich as Switzerland and the Scottish currency as valuable as the Norwegian kroner (Norway is the other European country with major offshore oil reserves). Annual revenues would have yielded an independent Scotland an estimated ┬г3 billion by 1980. That estimate was made when the price of a barrel of oil was approx. US$12! Now that's the kind of burden any country would like to have!

Since we're talking about fun, what's even more hilarious is kommentariat's statement that fountainhall and accuracy are hardly "strangers to one another"

I've yanked your chain (again) and you have responded (as anticipated). I've had my fun with you for the day; let's see what tomorrow brings.

It's all just so easy :ymdevil:

Now we know that all your negative komments mean precisely zilch (Damn, those spellcheckers again!)

I always thought those who loved yanking chains spent much of their time in public toilets.

Thank god I'll never see you getting in my way at Silom Complex.
