Comrade Corbychev's Cock-Ups

discussion?
or dogmatism?
or diatribe?

There is lecturing
Then there is lecturing at

Somehow a GN in the style of industrial, elf n safety prognostications is beginning to lose any appeal it might formerly have had....
As a prose style it leaves much to be desired.

Mansplaining taken to extremes ?. I’m beginning to wonder whether Grandad is for real

I think we should all write our posts as haiku s. Or limericks.

That might thwart those intent on lecturing us regarding style and content.

A bearded politician named Jez
Went to work one day in a fez.
His hat caused commotion
And gave Diane the notion
He was splendid, like Hugo Chavez.

Sorry - not a lot rhymes with Jez or Jeremy.

I think it's good anyway!

Day6, love it, I couldn’t write like that , received two jokes recently

Corbyn with phone to ear - is that IKEA? I need new cabinet .

And

Corbyn - i’m Going to try out some comedy on this train journey

Conductor - Stand up?

Corbyn - no thanks, i’ll Sit down.

Oh bo**ocks Grandad.
Not a DM or Sun or whatever reader. Not that it is anything to do with you.
ANY document, legal or otherwise can be written in clear, concise English. It is the hallmark of the undereducated to bard their prose with embellishments, jargon and other forms of verbosity. Clarity of expression and number of words are best found in inverse ratio.
The use of “—self” among them (yourself, myself etc)
Mithering on in this pompous, self-important vein is doing you no favours.

And nobody, but nobody uses LOL these days ?

Therefore, I will continue to post in kind.
GN could be down to one member

So once again the biggest insult is that someone is a DM reader. That one is getting so old!

Grandad a word of advice, I have observed that those on GN who try to pretend they have greater knowledge and attempt to talk down to others are soon brought down to size.

I have also found that those with something worthwhile to say can explain themselves briefly and succinctly.

I believe that the above six posts or so demonstrate that there are those on this forum who are nothing short of a walking joke. They do not have "the capacity" to understand what any real discussion would entail

Ooooooh. Harsh, Grandad.

Now we are 'walking jokes'. Shock, horror!

Sorry, but I can't stop laughing.
You know when there was that one teacher that you could always wind up or get a reaction from?

Your response reflects poorly on you. You have picked holes in everyone who disagrees with you and your hectoring style and insults mean few can take you seriously either. Having a bit of fun and responding light-heartedly isn't against the T&Cs.

We'll be walking jokes. You can be the walking headmaster of the world.

Spare a thought for the poor sods who have to attend the lectures , at least we have a choice and yawn then move on

MawBroon, as you use jargon from the Daily Mail and Sun it reasons that you must have access to those rags on a regular basis.

Also "And nobody, but nobody uses LOL these days" . Well, I most certainly do because I like to do so, it seems to annoy you and the emojis on this forum are rubbish (LOL)

In regard to written embellishments I have not even started at this point in time. You should witness the "written embellishments" our legal Secretary's write in their reports for the courts (LOL). Very highly skilled, highly paid and highly intelligent, and all four are women.

Great sense of humour those four also as they enjoyed the postings I shared with them from this forum today (LOL).

I remember a colleague once showing me something he considered funny, I pretended I agreed as I was too polite to say it sucked.

It was always my understanding that court reports should be free of unnecessary embellishment and jargon.
A report containing straightforward facts written in a concise and understandable manner concluding with expert opinion are less confusing to a jury.

is!!

and get it double checked before presentation.

Highly skilled, highly intelligent and highly paid, men in drag surely , not mere women

I really don't know why you continue to engage with us, Grandad; we are all just dumb Sun-reading old grannies who can scarcely put pen to paper, let alone use voice recognition.

Off to knit a dishcloth, nothing I like better than a new dishcloth.

Grandad you hope to annoy with the LOLS I see, it’s a bit sad really, and I do wonder if ‘those four’ are figments of your imagination.
I shall simply ignore any posts from you in future, feel free to do the same with mine.

Jalima knit one for me too please?

Oh, I see that those that cannot take criticism mocking in kind to their own now report posts somthing I never do.

However, I shall continue to post as of the same, as each removal of posts or even a ban would be a victory to me (LOL)

You should witness the "written embellishments" our legal Secretary's write

“Your legal secretary’s “ what?
Even you must be aware of that particular howler.
I am not aware of knowing, let alone using any jargon from the DM or the Sun (does the latter HAVE words or merely pictures to titillate it’s male readers? Presumably you would know) )

Lay off the sexist and gratuitous insults, they do you no favours, negate any validity your arguments might have and come across as the meanderings of a disenchanted old geezer.

I really am enjoying this for as long as it lasts
