Well, perhaps not quite Scotland but certainly Scottish regiments. Not only that he has become a Colonel in the British Army! I quote,

"Colonel Martin Gibson, of the Royal Scots Regimental Association, said the campaign to save the regiments would continue."

Don't believe me? Check it out.

Martin, after all you have said about Scotland and the Scots! How could you? ;-)

Amazing! Born in a Dumpster, raised by Norwegian rats, had no one but flies and cockroaches to play with when he was a child, and tutored by a raccoon who introduced him to the outside world. I always knew he would achieve high rank.

In fact, he's about the rankest person around.

For example, were I you, I would acknowledge that as a good portrait and use it to start a new business. You could get a great deal of work doing gorilla-grams. I'll even go so far as to give you a good motto for your new business. "When you care enough to send the furry beast."

Don, the world doesn't owe you anything for your disability. You should really try to get over your bitterness. Talk to your priest about it or something. I think you have a lot of trouble living in your own skin.

I have to agree with GUEST there, Marty. A new low.

True, I have a physical disability. But no, I'm not bitter about it, nor have I ever been. And I do not think anybody owes me anything because of it. That's simply the luck of the draw, and I'm not going to waste my life brooding about it. I find it damned inconvenient from time to time, but it's never kept me from doing anything I've wanted to do, including having a pretty good career as a professional musician.

I'll tell you this:   I'd a helluva lot rather have a physical handicap than the kind of moral handicap that allows you to use my disability as fodder for your taunting.

There is really no comparison possible between a physical handicap - which is, when it comes down to it, merely a limitation; if you have a lame foot you're probably not going to take up a position as a dance instructor- and a moral/emotional handicap which limits EVERYTHING. Not only that, with a physical handicap you can have as many friends as your life can handle. With a moral/emotional handicap friends are few and far between and probably don't stay around long, once they get to know you. Hardly worth the title of friend.

Sorry to hear you have a disability Don, I have never read you have so did not know. I presume you have learned to live with it in whatever is the best way possible and I respect your literary talents. Some of your postings on here have been little short of brilliant but none of us are perfect eh??
Martin, I have also come to respect some of your postings but sometimes it causes some distress to see the depths to which not just you but some others also will stoop to just to "finish it" as you put it. I don't see this as winning, merely overcoming...and there is a difference.
As I previously said, I don't expect what I say to be acted upon or to have any influence but feel I want to say it anyway.
Such little effort would be needed by all concerned to make the Cat a "better" place to be.....Seems to me that opinions are fine but it so often comes down to personal insults and wind ups...something we have to live with I suppose.
Merry Christmas to you all. Mike.

Don dishes it out as well as anyone, G-silver. His posts are extremely cruel and his disability should not be something that he can hide behind and soak up a little pity for.

I don't see it really as winning either. But please realize that Jews have had enough abuse for one reason or another, most notably for being just different. As a general rule, after a milleneum of abuse, we do not turn the other cheek. We come back and hit harder sometimes with a blunt instrument known as the truth.

You say DF is hiding behind his disability and trying to soak up some pity but you are doing exactly the same thing. You have now brought in your religion and what has happened in the past and you are now trying to soak up some pity.

Nessie has more humps, but less chance of a camel lighting afterwards....

G-silver, thanks for the great comments!

I don't know if guest, diogenes is a guy or a whining broad, but either way, I think he/she suffers from carrying around a non-detachable dingleberry, with a 3 foot stem on the inner side.

Davetnova, I saved Scotland because I ran out of Scotch tape.

Better than running out of scotch...a camel has got to be at least a three-bottler.

CAMELUS BACTRIANUS

Oh, Camelus, I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But with Camelus, that's simply how the creatures are . . .


CAMELUS DROMEDARIUS

And then there is the dromedarius,
With disposition quite nefarious . . .

One lump or two, dear?

A guy is planning a trip across the desert and he goes to the Hertz Rent-A-Camel joint and tells them he wants to rent one. The Hertz guy asks if he wants a 7 day or a 14 day camel. Well, the trip is for 16 days and the fellow can't figure out a way to shorten it. After much cajoling, the Hertz guy says, "I'll see what I can do."

He walks over and selects a large 14 day camel and sticks its head in the water trough. As the camel is drinking, he goes into the Hertz Kiosk and returns with two bricks. The camel is almost full and ready to take its last slurp when the Hertz guy walks behind it. Then, with a powerful swing, he claps the 2 bricks together, smashing the camel's nuts in between. The camel goes 'SSLLLLLUUUOOOORRRRPPPSSSSHHH', and sucks up a ton more water. The Hertz guy walks around to the front and says, "There ya' go pal. That oughta' do it."

The traveller is appalled. "JESUS CHRIST MAN!!!!!! Doesn't that HURT???"...to which the Hertz guy replies,

"Nah........Not if you keep your thumbs out of the way."

The guy taking the trip across the desert was on his way to a French Foreign Legion detatchment. When he arrived, the camel was housed in a ten away from the heat of the days. Afetr many months, the new Legionnaire began to wonder about sex. He quietly asked his Sergeant who pointed to the tent and said, "Use the camel." The fellow did. The tents flaps were flaring outwards and the camel was making loud braying sounds. When the recruit had finished, he exited the tent only to be met by his fellow soldiers who jeered at him and called him names. Heasked the Sergeant what he'd done wrong. The Sergeant said, "Well, usually the rest of us just ride it to the brothel in town."

As long as we're telling animal jokes, here's a parable:

A week or so before Christmas, a man received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity. The man tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music, and anything else he could think of to clean up the bird's vocabulary. It didn't help. Finally, he got fed up and yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. He shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. In desperation, he threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for several minutes. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, the man quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto his outstretched arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my inappropriate language. I'm sincerely remorseful for my transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." The man was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. He was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, when the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

Jim Beam I have partaken of, a fine drink.....Jack Daniels I am not sure...
I have also had some of the better and more expensive Scotch Whiskies and have to say that (IMHO) A good Scotch would take some beating anywhere!.
I also like "Jamesons" Irish whisky...and if asked if I want something in it, reply "Yes please, more Jamesons!

umm, i havent read all of this thread, i got bored halfway, but you are accusing Martin Gibson of arguing with everyone and anyone, yet you are the dickheads that start posts to slag him off?? There are 2 on the forum right now.

Also, i dont think Martin Gibson was offensive with his post to Don, it seemed honest, and in my oppinion of Don from this message board, accurate. No offence, i live with a disability, but you do seem bitter mate.

You start threads slagging off Martin Gibson, then squeel when he retaliates.
