Thread Name: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
"The BNP is all about England for the English - but if you want to distance yourself from them by actually pointing out that you are even MORE blinkered and narrow-minded than they, go for your life. At least we're finally getting somewhere." (Ruth)...that after I just said I support Plaid Cymru and the Scottish Nationalists, as well as English NOT British nationalism - so who's "blinkered and narrow-minded"?
"Yes, but you've been sitting there on your arse during the boom years, Wavey, taking the English taxpayer's shilling because you couldn't get a job in your chosen profession" (Ruth Archer/Joan Crumb)...false and defamatory from someone who somehow has a job with the National Council, who, in my opinion, should be having words.
"IB has proved over and over again that his capacity for critical analysis is first rate. He also has an intellectual curiosity which leads him to seek out specialist study, not wikipedia" it was actually IB, Ruth, who, on the "England's National Musical Instrument" thread posted the Wiki. site that lists national instruments - including Englands.
"You are a racist, David. A nasty, narrow-minded, sad little racist" and "Just because an admissions officer with some hardcore recruitment targets once took pity on you," (Ruth Archer/Joan Crumb of the National Council - who surely SHOULD be having words.)

"Wavy - maybe it's an example of my lack of analytical skills but for the life of me I can't make any sense of what you're saying here at all. Could you have another go? Or maybe someone else would be good enough to lend me a hand...Otherwise, a simply apology would have been enough, but obviously your overweening arrogance doesn't extent so far as contrition." (IB)...some may not mind being called racist but I hate it, and "fight" back with words against it. On the other hand, when you suggested 2 months before was too early to post "Cob a Coaling" on myspace, I explained my reasoning and then suggested I'll probably leave it till one month before next year - in partial agreement/without any questioning of your analytical abilities. But what I will keep questioning is the act of immigration/emigration itself, from SEVERAL angles - as New Labour, e.g., must also have recently done/as is acceptable within a democracy.

"Wav, analytical abilities have nothing to do with formal studies, if proof of that were needed, one needs look no further than YOU." (Volgadon)...yes, there are of course different ways of learning: I, e.g., have taught myself informally to read and write/mimic music - just the top-line melody, mind.
"My challenge still stands, how many of the jobs you were passed over for were given to immigrants?" (Volgadon)...I'd like to ignore this, but your style involves reposting it ad infinitum so - no idea.

IE - you didn't repost the full quote I was responding to, see above. and we are obliged here to broaden our jobsearch - as I HAVE done (like Ruth, you are ASSUMING things). The responses are repetative because the questions are repetative.
