It takes a lot more than a total stranger on a message board to get me remotely bothered, dink.

My point is beautifully demonstrated by yourself and Grayling... you only have to read through the most unhappy posts on this ever so slightly polarised version of society to realise that the worst are complaining about the people who live around you all.
The irony is, all these people whinge and moan about their unhappy lives when they chose to live there. You choose who you spend time with, you choose who to interact with. Negative people attract negativity. Dour miserable bastards will have dour miserable lives.

As I said, if you're attracting boring people I can only conclude from this that you yourself are a tiny bit dull.

Given that you've come back to ask whether I'm annoyed with you over an inane post just proves to me that I'm right, and that you're merely deflecting attention from the fact that you have no adequate answer to your dullness.
Perhaps I can recommend some sort of reading, you know, in a book, not google, on some sort of subject we might all find totally enthralling. Then you may either attract some kind of interesting people. Failing that you'll be a blast at the local Ocker pub trivia night, with all the other fact retaining people you so despise.

It is the Law of Attraction in action and you are a shining example of it. :)

Are you suggesting I am unhappy?:confused:

You know nothing about me apart from what I post on here.....which is mostly tongue in cheek and designed to annoy the self righteous and happy clappers.:lol:

Why would you concern yourself with dull tradespersons if all they are doing is supplying a service? They doff their cap, perform work and present an invoice surely...

I sometimes wonder what the tradesmen of the forum think about all this...

Other poster - as for dull Australians outnumbering interesting Australians, I'd have to agree this would be expected, you know, it's the triangle thing.

Quite obviously we're all to stupid to formulate a response, just uneducated, inarticulate ****wits, lower than the dirt on your highly polished shoes.
I read the comments you & others made in the "Tesco" thread & thought that if anything the bias was the other way around, this just backs up my theory:p
Good to see some of the immigrants bringing in a good dose of the British class system.:thumbup: Helping keep those colonialist dogs in their lower place Oh and us dull tradies:rolleyes:

That's right, the internet isn't real. I got it.

: )

Well it's been scintillating, dink, but I have half a lamb in the oven and the roast spuds are all done, and I have an interesting Aussie to share it with. :D

I think the clappers stopped being happy around the time bananas started getting expensive ...

It's been ages since we had all that sort of poster - people moving here can barely afford it...let alone gush about the delights of dolphins etc..

Why are you attracting these people?

No one cares about your theories just how you voted.

Of course, this could all be a cover for your repressed homosexuality. If that's the case, I hope you come out of your closet soon.

I did time in bunnings for a couple months and met pretty much the same crowd waiting to be paroled...

So lets see, you're trying to accuse him of being a homo and boring... But then again he spends his time thinking up polls and his avatar is, how shall I say this, intriguing. You may have something there... So UD... do you have anything you want to tell us... We're here for mate...

I'd been going to post that I don't think I've ever really met anyone dull - so its obviously my incredible ability to pull the most scintillating conversation out of anyone....

But I think TP beat me to it.

Bugger.
