Sarcasm, the lowest form of wit.

You were trolling, and you know it. Having a bit of a dig and trying to ridicule me. Fair enough, I bit and probably shouldn't have. But in my opinion it was uncalled for when all I was attempting is to state some differences I've seen between living in London and Perth.

Fair enough, that's your opinon. Sarcasm -mocking or ironic language intended to insult someone. Don't think I insulted you?

I think calling someone a 'muppet' is totally uncalled.

Anyway, I think my comment was perfectly valid that London and Perth are completely different cities which makes comparison difficult. You just didn't agree with me, that's fine this is a messageboard.

The second post was just a bit of fun and hardly ridicule.

May as well be closed in all honesty. It's certainly not gone in the direction I had hoped.

Conversely it costs more to visit a brothel in Australia so there are downsides to everything.

I see him as more of a Lytham St Annes or Southport man myself.

So Perth's brothels are more expensive than London's?
