""what on earth prompted that display of spleen venting? When as The Natural Philospher you'll have known very well what prompted that display of spleen venting from Harry. Wouldn't you not ? So why when posting as Tjoepstil would you pretend not to know this ? Might I suggest you simply stop lying right now? You're clearly not very good at it, as if that wasn't already obvious and you're simply upsetting yourself. I've .already suggested you killfile me which you threw in my face as with the suggestion that you stop posting information about yourself. You really are beyond help. michael adams "The late Lord Attlee was right when he said that the referendum was a device of dictators and demagogues," Margaret Thatcher 11 Mar 1975 .... |

How Sock puppets work
So in this world of trouble strife and Mr Trump and Baked Beans wars, is
this all that worries you? I mean if some people want to post general rubbish nobody has forced you to read it have they? It can be jumped over deleted or the people in it killfiled if you want. Life is too short to worry. Some of these people you call sock puppets can be, probably unconsciously, rather amusing. a bit like MR Angry, the character Kenny Everett used to Parody on his show. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please! |

There are times when added weight is given to an argument where more than voice is heard. Where in reality it is a single voice it is useful to know. In this case I have only recently become aware that The Natural Philosopher, TabbyPurr and Tjoepstil are the one person. There is no excuse, since the same account can be on all his machines.

It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment.

No, its because people who are able to walk have at least something left to live for. There are chair-based exercise for people who can't walk. Funnily enough, after yesterday's pretty atrocious weather, it's sunny here this morning. So, getting outside, even if you can't totter further than the gate can still be mood-enhancing.

You try leading a walk with a heart that will let you get 50 yards before you need to wait for 5 minutes. There are people who can't even walk that far, so try to hang on to what you have. In my experience, the people who at least make an effort to stay active are much happier, but that may be because happier people are mentally prepared to make more effort. No, its because people who are able to walk have at least something left to live for. There are chair-based exercise for people who can't walk. there are indeed.

No, its because people who are able to walk have at least something left to live for. Apart from the 84 year old leading the walk, there was another man about the same age who was struggling a bit with the wind. Even so, he made it. If he had given up, as a handful of the younger people did, his ability to manage next time would be reduced. As I said. age has nothing to do with it. Some peoples bodies keep on working for yeaes, othersÂ* simply develop chronic and massively disabling conditions. I will be having 5th heart operation in a few weeks. I hope it allows me to walk more than 50 yards Stop moaning and think your self lucky you haven't just been given a ds1500 form. |

As a matter of interest how old were you again, at the time of the Windscale Fire ? It's none of my business of course; only you did say how old you were at the time, during our previous discussion of your claim to have heard news of the fire on the radio. I'm not trying to catch you out, only compare your notion of "old age" as against that of other posters to the group possibly, who unlike me, have actually stated how old they are. Because if my memory serves me right, you're still a bit of a youngster. in another newsgroup, we refer to our age by use of the Periodic Table. I'm Iridium Isn't that what Simon uses to make mobile phone calls ?. |

I'm Iridium That's a good age. Product of two primes. Which isotope? I think we're talking about atomic number, not atomic weight. You think? I'm soon to be Tb. Also a product of two primes. Spend too much time on the tube in London and you will get TB (and maybe the antibiotic-resistant variety). |
