> Why is it so important to play this childish game of impressing D. Spencer > Hines? The Fifeshire Bimbo ---------------------------------------------------------- Because Pogue Brannigan is an amusing amalgam of an insecure adolescent boy -- who is trying to prove to me he can piss further than the other pogues -- combined with the ingratiating persona of an Irish Drunk who wants to be loved, respected, adulated, imitated and listened to -- as he regales us with Hibernian Blarney. Then: Add in a dollop of Academic Imperiousness... And a dash of German Authoritarianism [he claims to be fluent in German]... And we have GRAND ENTERTAINMENT A LA POGUE BRANNIGAN. How Sweet It Is!

Someone has to be the first. It is a pride thing - impressing this person who knows the least while not realizing he knows so little. Not as easy as it sounds. Everybody needs a hobby. Dan The British are cute this way. They still think everyone should be aware of all their domestic tempests in teapots... Tabloid Gossip -- That Sort Of Thing... For Example, Price Harry's Latest Shenanigans... Or Who the "Egyptian Grocer" Is. As if London were still World Central and Top City in the Top Nation -- as many considered it to be in Victorian Times -- well over 100 Years Ago and more. Amusing...

Never mind Turlough! I thought it was a cute wee joke and I'm not American :) Richard Stans was a bit of a stretch though. I didn't even smile at that one. Cheers, Helen So, do the English say "storm in a tea cup" [sic] while the Scots say "tempest in a teapot"? Keep in mind, one can certainly whip up turbulence in a teapot more readily than in a teacup. Perhaps it's just one more case where Scots are smarter than Sasannachs. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas > Teacup. > > Storm in a tea cup [sic], not teapot. Renia Simmonds --------------------------------------------------- Hmmmmmm... Renia Medusa certainly whipped up a tempest in a teapot when she posted that. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Scots: Is this article accurate? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doric_dialect_(Scotland)> Please tell us about "Doric", "fit like", "quine" and "loon" -- as Scots use those expressions. Thank you. DSH |
