Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

Ok, do I smell or something?!
China, on second thoughts, shall we not bother? I'm not well acquainted with most of the people you've mentioned, although one or two seem to be very nice .

Incidentally, from my limited experience, Gromit's links usually lead us to massaged Government statistics, or some such similar nonsense - and what use are they - or the parrot fashion repetition of anything that seems to fit the bill of a particular personal grinding axe? There's no real knowledge or intelligence in that. Mibs links beat Gromit's by miles - (Mibs, avert your eyes now for fear of spoiling your perfect complexion) - as does his intellect. There is absolutely no comparison.

Sorry you're still filling in application forms, but keep at it girl. Something good will come of it. Good luck.

And China, I must be one of those with that nomadic approach, because I really like being alone (although if I'm at a party, I'm the life and soul - I simply love dancing!!). Told you. I'm odd! My phone rings constantly, demanding attention, but AB is a useful channel, since here we can talk to people whenever we feel like it - and if we don't feel like it, we don't have to do it.

Mibs, are you a loner, or do you need people around?

Luna, sorry, I meant to say hello. Are you sticking around, or are you buzzing off again?

Got to go to bed now, so goodnight my dears. Sleep tight - and as usual, I wish you beautiful dreams. x
Haaaaaaa....................... I wasn't quite quick enough there. Sorry China. Night night. x
I'd have to disagree with you regarding Gromit's links and his intelligence. He will often post a link to a story in News to give balance or credence to a post and a lot of the time what he does is show evidence to an argument. Whether he believes it or not is a whole other matter. If there was a pub quiz on british politics (and possibly cheese) I would have Gromit on my team every time. Trust me, he's a very a smart person, he just has a fairly biting sense of humour and he's not terribly tolerent of some of the wassocks in News, (much like me except I'm not terribly tolerent in general). Plus when I got put in the dungeon (again) he designed a t-shirt for my freedom campaigne.

I think that's the thing though, those I would deem to be lovely people etc... might not be to others tastes. (I've been told off several times by Boo for an irrational dislike I've taken to someone on the site who she swears is lovely and who I happen to think is as thick as two short ones and kind of the signboard for everything I hate a woman to be. And possibly men. Did I mention she's depriving a village idiot of oxygen? I guess you can see why I get in to trouble), hence inviting people seems wrong, I prefer when people come together (pun intended) and have a chat than a forced thing wheere someone has to play host. (Not that Mibs could be accused of that of late... not that I miss him or anything obviously).

I like my own company well enough but just not all the time... I row if we spend too much time together ;0)

Naomi, �Loner�? Always trying to pin me down to some one word attribute, aren�t you? Intelligent? Perhaps, relatively speaking, although the contrast pales in comparison to present company. (Now that was just plain brilliant . . . imho!) The closest you�ve come by my recollection is enigmatic . . . yet even that begs qualification.

As for �loner� I could easily be mistaken for the lone wolf variety, somewhat by default but less and less by choice as time goes on. I have, what at times might appear to many people, an �obsession� with reality. Yet I am no stranger to flights of fancy or absurdity. I enjoy dancing around a fire occasionally just to remind death that its eventual and inevitable victory has not yet been won. Again I stray from the question presented.

I love people so much that I can at times be perceived as threatening or even downright scary. Developing a modicum of social skills has been for me a long and difficult feat to achieve. As a child I quickly perceived a stark contrast between the people then around me and the comprehensible and predictable nature of the rest of reality and it was the rest of reality in which I found comfort and security. Most enjoyable to me were the products of people who used their minds in ways I felt I could never equal yet I continued to admire and pursue this facet of humanity. I took guilty pleasure in perusing an encyclopedia at every opportunity knowing well that those on whom I depended for food and shelter sought to limit my reading menu to the �Holy Scriptures�. I believe it was my mother who after having been called to school to be informed that my IQ test score was too startlingly high to be revealed found a way to smuggle them in. Nevertheless I floundered at the standard �educational� curriculum.
Question Author
Anyway the point being I rarely find yes or no answers adequate to almost any question presented. An agreement on what constitutes a basic knowledge and understanding of the fundamental nature of reality is a prerequisite to carrying on a meaningful conversation with me and few people find joy in such endeavors (and perhaps fewer still believe such is possible). My inability to satisfy this essential need pretty much confines me to being a lonely loner. Tragic? It may well appear so, but my mind leaves me no other alternative than to be who and what I am and so I have learned to embrace the reality of my life and through acceptance have experienced a joy few would comprehend. When I am able to relate to someone else and make a connection it has a quality I would not exchange for anything else. I know You know what I�m talking about . . . even if this failed to explain it.
China, Ahhh .... the dungeon. I've seen people say they've been put in the dungeon, and I've seen others calling for their release, but what exactly does being put in the dungeon mean? I know some people are banned and come back with a different name, but as far as I know, you've never changed your name, so I don't think you could have been banned. That question probably sounds pretty thick to those in the know - but I really don't know.

Luna, ok.
Yes, mibs, I do know precisely what you're talking about. Tragic? No, not at all.
Question Author
China, I will not contest Gromit's superiority with "news" and "cheese" links, nevertheless, would you provide some evidence? None incites ones curiousity more than 'the competition'. However we seem to have carved out rarely intersecting niches in ab-land. The name is familiar but I can't recollect the face.

And I would likewise recommend nearly anyone other than me for a pub quiz partner. The realm of my knowledge is actually very focused and concentrated towards universals rather than a wide range of specifics.

. . . and . . .


As if anyone needs to be reminded, I'm the whatever responsible for initiating this thread but beyond that it's always open house . . . and . . . I wouldn't have it any other way!

Consider me your equal . . . until one of us proves to be otherwise. I prefer losing to never learning something new. But enough about me . . . (I can't believe I just said that!)
Mibs, I prefer losing to never learning something new too - and I can believe I just said that. Rather than entering into full-scale battle though, resulting in winners and losers, I'd rather just debate pros and cons, and clink glasses at the end of it. (That's the best bit!).
Good morning everyone, just to tell you I'm going away shortly for the weekend. Have a good weekend. x
Question Author
Naomi, I meant the "enough about me" part. D�oh! There I said it again.

As for your debating style, you�ll get no argument from me. �Pro�s and Con�s it is� . . . briskly down�s contents and smashes glass violently into the hearth declaring boisterously . . . �To the death!�


Be safe and have fun! I know, I know, a contradiction in terms. Oh well!

That ^^^ was one of the campaignes for my freedom in which Gromit's links were useful (if not a bit hurtful!) Mibs. I particularly like the T-shirt.

It's also Naomi my alternative name as I do get banned every so often. I like to think it's because of overposting but I also hold the record for possibly the most lewd thread on here which went to well over a thousand answers which the then nice AB Ed banned for me after I asked her to! I also like to ask for shoe and cheese categories in suggestions every now and then and I don't think that goes downtoo well either.

Why are smashing wine glasses all of a sudden? Can't you two just be wrong and quiet at the same time while I go about winning? Jeesh....
Well how about that... I changed outfit. Could have sworn I was signed in as the other one... See, this is why I can't ever clone anyone properly!

Incidently I hear the Durex corporation are after Mibs, apparently they don't like his new slogan... Be safe and have fun! I know, I know, a contradiction in terms.
Rarely intersecting... Yes quite possibly, I can also be found in occasionally in animals (there's no way that sentance will ever sound right) as I know an abnormal amount about certain bugs, the book section (I read a lot), CB (I'm a massochist... No really, some of the people are lovely and the banter can be fun), Music (Kempie has usually answered by the time I get in there) and News (not so much lately as I've lost my soapbox). I do like Science as you know but I generally go in there with questions rather than answers.
Question Author
Excellent and excellent! Although I'm overwhelmed at the moment and in a rush. I'll sort this out when I get back.

OK, I must admit, this / one would be hard to beat. Three wishes come immediately to mind . . . and they're all the same!
Question Author
. . . more evidence please!
I think I made it perfectly clear that particular link was bunkum!

Sigh... hang on.... let me see if AB will let me go back more than one page on my answers... Hey, maybe I can even frind some from when CB was fun!
