Re: So take a guess at the 2nd most popular hobby in Britain
Sorry Millhouse, you’re right the ratio is probably 50:50 
.
I’ve got to be careful with a few things here u knw particularly if the subject is a key member of the monastery, just keeping to my oath nothing more.
This particular ‘delete’ was in response to Norm’s another delusive post then checked my calendar and realised it’s a busy week ahead and can’t be arsed with pages of meaningless dogfight.

You're happy to accuse but not happy to say why or allow response because you admit you cannot handle a proper debate. Are you trying to be annoying or is it just a character flaw like your bad grammar?

Also, with you, ‘a debate’ is not a debate my friend it’s a dogfight

What does "can’t be arsed" mean? Surely it is "can't be asked?"

I don't think cant be arsed is a scottish term as I use it a fair bit and I ain't scottish!

NOTE TO SELF
Is it one of those new American words like 'Acclimate?' - No, because they would say 'Assed'
Just a thought . . .
Did it come from Harry Enfield "I cannot be ARSKED" (Asked prounounced with a South-East accent), which derived into ARSED?"

Is it in the OED?
can't be arsed (British taboo!)
if you can't be arsed, you will not make the necessary effort to do something (often + to do sth) I can't be arsed to go to the party. It's too far away.
