Let's have your views on this controversial issue!

I think that a generalisation that is generally general actually causes the generality of the original generalisation to generally become inifinitely reduceable in generalisation but whilst never actually getting to a point where the generalised generalisation loses it's generality completely, as a generalisation does not actually encompass an entire group therefore generalised generalisations actually reduce the generalisation of the first generality FFS!

Que??

(he's from Barcelona, you know.....)

'I believe that what I see and do becomes a generalisation' (British Expats mantra, generally speaking, for most posters).

Was just about to say exactly that

Generally, Yes. Occasionally, no.

gotta go lie down in a dark room, this is too much to think about on a friday afternoon.

A person puts up a post regarding a very important day in their daughters life, and because the title is not worded to your liking you choose to make fun of it?


You are mocking Madsads post i assume.

Where are the whingiest Aussies:
Aussies in Australia, or
Aussies in the UK.

Although they are generally a whingy nation, they are not too bad over here, so I reckon it's the latter. As soon as they leave Australia, the whingy gene kicks in & the UK gets it in the ear.

Generally, this is not a generalisation.

Actually I think you will find he is mocking the whole "general" thing rather than madsad's post

There have been a number of "generalising" posts

Madsad's - started at 7.12pm http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=341903

then Luke's - started at 7.35pm http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=341907

then Menace's - started at 9.22pm http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=341926

and finally Vash's - started at 9.44pm

and thats excluding all the posts that generalise about life in OZ, UK, US etc that we see every day.

so who is mocking who ? or is that whom is mocking whom ?

Dead clever though eh?

Nope,
I think Vash is just putting a, "Lounge" type post in the Oz forum.

I for one, wanna see more of this, cos The Lounge can be a bit of a, "closed shop" if you're not a regular. (So can the Oz Forum, but not nearly as much)...

I've no idea where you're getting the, "Madsad" connection from, & I reckon Vash doesn't either...

Just a bit of fun, I reckon...
Don't look too deep for something that isn't there, I'd say...

OK.

Like oil?

ppppppppppppffffffffffffff
