I suppose that there was an element of chance in it being "boot it up" and not "boot it on" although "boot up" has a sporty ring about it. Based on "get it up and running"? key in = from ledgers: write in/enter (in)? Yes, of course, but most NESs don't make any conscious connection like this when t...

Based on "get it up and running"?

key in = from ledgers: write in/enter (in)?

I think "no thing" might be more suitable.

As my fashion advisor would have said "All fluffed up and nowhere to blow."

¿Te has levantado con la pierna izquierda?

Thank you for that, metal56. For me, the example could have a present or future application; I see. Why did you write this? it can have present reference, but not future (e.g. next week)? re: If you sold them on eBay, you'd make twice as much. ... But it would not be applicable to the past. Why? Ho...

protesting your innocence. Go join OJ in the bar for an OJ.

Again, show me where I did that. As I recall, I said most of us are guilty, you included. As I recall it's you, Lolwhiteassnow and Revel who are in denial.

So you don't deny it then?

??? I repeat, show me where I did that. Link?

Maybe now you can begin enyoying your weekend - if it's not almost over.

I did - the football and rugby gave me plenty to smile about.

All those lovely legs, eh?

yet you persist in pleading "not guilty" when your behaviour is consistently flagged up by other posters. Show me where I did that. Now that you've amply proved every point I've made about your conduct, not to mention your inability or unwillingness to take on board anything that anyone, including ...

You mean apart from drawing attention to the fact? IMO pointing out that a problem exists is the first step to doing something about it. Let's make it clearer for you. Are you, or have you been, participating in making this place one of, in your mind, predictability? As usual, you take something so...

These threads just get more and more predictable IMO. Are you doing anything to aid that? A little civility (for once) might encourage some new posters instead of scaring them off. You mean you want to fill this forum with a bunch of wussies? Haven't we got enough with Fluffed, Revel, you, etc.? :t...

What I really mean is that the persona metal56 is terse often to the point of rudeness, JuanTwoThree is conciliatory, fluffy is fluffy etc. But I'm not necessarily like my character and I don't let any of this get to me. I guess, put together, we make up one pretty complete, well-adjusted, exciting...

Ergativity: useful concept for marshalling examples for talking about exploding suitcases, aborting fetuses etc. Hm, now let me remember: was that a case of Fluff attacking the ideas and not the person? I need to know. My life depends on it. If it is the latter, for example, I'm gonna create my own...

metal56 isn't a person but more of a character in a play that we are all improvising.

Like the Truman show?

Still not as turgid as Larsen-Freeman though!

Hoorah!
