Oh God, the old Des is back, matching shoulder-chips and all. You were never flamed 'for posting French', but for posting unintersting irrelevant crap. It may have come out (from your perspective) as the former but it was nearly always the latter that triggered it. Oh FFS, leave it out, will you? If it's your intention to reopen old wounds and battles that you've lost many times could you please just do it in the privacy of your own head?
I'm sure he *was* flamed for posting French, although he was flamed for posting pretty much anything. And for good reason.
and dog (if he's lurking). In fact, as the usual ratio (I forget where I read this) of posters to lurkers is 1:10 (and there are 394[1] posters, btw) then there are probably about 20 or 30 people reading this who get everything, "including the gags". Personally, I hadn't realised that we were only allowed to read things if we understood all the gags and plays on words. [1] Based on the 8000 posts available on my local server, based on unique posting ids.
Ben Blaney bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines of: Considering TOG was commissioned to translate Joe Bar Team books into English, I'd go with that. Anyway, there must be at least half a dozen French speakers on this group. I know of two at least, that would be interested. -- Cab :^) - almost as fast as G.i.n.g.e.

Just rub it in, why don't you, that some of us actually used to try and protect you. In any event, your posting in the thread you refer to would have been of no interest to anyone on here, which is why it was flamed. And because there are times when you're just so plain fucking annoying that _anything_ you post will be flamed. And you were doing so well this time around. *plonk*
Can you guess (without invoking the "clique" defence) why you're somtimes singled out for contempt when others aren't?
Which bit? The ratio, the fact that other people apart from you might be able to read French to a good standard, or that there 394 unique posters?
Perfect. Now if you could just see how that reads to the rest of ukrm in the context of this chat you'd see why people think you're a bit of a wanker.
Your Bandit was a 600. The Bandit 1200 is a 'fantastic stunt bike'. There is more difference between the two than just 600cc of engine size. This has been discussed before... http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=
