O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[ramAnag]

I thought I described him as a **** (twa t)?

Me? I never look for arguments - I thought that was you

Interesting you should raise furlough and other financial support: it will be very interesting how the "audit" report emerges into the undoubted high levels of fraud perpetrated in both, but particularly the phony applications for bounce back loans which probably has cost the chancellor, but more importantly the fight against covid, into the billions from what I hear. Maybe those perpetrating such acts could perhaps be given covid as part of their punishment

Maybe that’s what you meant...either way I completely agree.

Lol...of course. Me? I’m Mr. Compliant.

Again we agree. It will be interesting and I feel sure there have been ‘high levels of fraud’.

I didn't forget anyone, I quoted Chesterton.

However for the binaries.

11010001100000110111101011101001 hope that clears that up?

As you clearly believe anything do I take it you don't believe in god?

[swaledale]

How would anybody be aware that you had omitted a word and whether that was intentional or accidental?

Much in the same way GP recently, he claims purposely, misquoted Heller and does it regularly. Only people who know him personally would be aware of that............

Anyone with any sense would, if the cap fits?

[swaledale]

'One' can also tell how tightly wrapped a person is by their lack of humour, especially when it is lightheartedly directed at themselves

Just by way of help:

Tightly wrapped: obsessed, or tense, tied up with ones own thoughts or concerns.

Funny whenever you being nit-picking or racist or bigoted, you claim humour, mm you are funny, but perhaps not in the way you intend?

I'm somewhat crestfallen that I'm only third in line for you to have a pop at this evening

If you write a sentence that conveys a certain sense, people will read it and understand it as it is written. Impossible to know if there might (or might not) have been a word omitted, purposely or accidentally, that changed the essence of the sentence.

really? rA managed to, and even the groucho marx of the forum did but chose to use humour, then spectaculars failed to interpret my repost as humorous, so obviously its possible to understand even with a missing word.

I mean you only have to read the sentence to know what word was missing, otherwise it doesn't make sense! Still I guess comprehension isn't your strong point!

Ah but how do you know you were third in line? I might have left you till last for maximum impact!

What I do find amusing is that you think I take anything posted by me or others on this forum seriously. Jeez, I have a life! This is just an amusing way to pass the time when I've nothing better to do.

Tbh I hadn’t noticed the original error and I suspect MA isn’t having a personal go at anyone...so can we move on and maybe discuss what was said/meant rather than hide behind Swale’s original tiny typo?

[Geoff Parkstone]

No, let's not. He has said himself that he doesn't take his posts seriously, so I suggest we don't either.
