jinp6301 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Also suffered a libelous and racist attack from Stanley Beresford. What happened?
Duggeh Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Basically he retorted that I was an idiot for comments which I didn't actually make and that it stemmed from Scotland being inherantly incompetant in matters of electrical enginering compared to England. I could have been the ^n more vicious in my counter-retort, but I'd have rather that the thread not be deleted so that as many people as possible get to read the offending statement, its in the latests beresford DAC thread. What bothers me most is that he isn't a registered MOT. I'd also like to see his and herandu's online status bulbs turn green at the same time.
guzziguy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I took one of my cats to the vet this morning, they still don't know what the problem is but they're trying to stop me worrying about the cat by giving me a $400 bill to worry about instead. Fuck, vets are expensive. I can see this easily going skywards past $1000 in no time We just spent 5X that to keep our furry, black cat alive. Fortunately he recovered and is doing well. No HD800 (or anything else expensive) for me this year. The good news is that I prefer the cat over getting new toys. I hope you have a good outcome with your cat too.
guzziguy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I just lost my friend, mentor and boss after a long fight with cancer. Good man...one of those quiet leader and lead by example types. I'm in a somber mood with a crater in my heart. My condolences. It's always hard to lose somebody you know and love.

Aimless1 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 News was fresh when I posted. Not like me but thanks for your well wishes. Just read the beresford dac thread. What a jerk>
Aura Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Doug, you handled yourself very well in response to Stan, props to you friend. To think that he believes you are the one who lost credibility in this situation...
Voltron Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 What a cunt that Stan Beresford is. JP was ranting about that herandu pissant and I didn't know what he was talking about. Ignorance was bliss. I reported both of them.
Sherwood Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Well played, Douglas. Way to show some class in the face of a huge dickhead. I reported him as well, and quoted his post should he wise up and bury his tracks. If you'd prefer otherwise, just let me know and I'll remove it.
Smeggy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Fucking assclown(s) If that tit herandu isn't a fully paid up shill or employee of Mr Cuntyballs, or indeed Mr Cuntyballs himself, Reks will eat his hat!
The Monkey Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I now kind of want to buy a beresford DAC and film myself smashing it to tiny bits, then post it saying that THIS is how I like to listen to it.
Sherwood Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Mike got it locked down, locked down. Do yo thing, Mike.
lostonetr Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I now kind of want to buy a beresford DAC and film myself smashing it to tiny bits, then post it saying that THIS is how I like to listen to it. Don't forget to get one of the power thingies from hernandu. I believe at one point in time he was selling em (think... mk 3 4 or 5 time period, like right when 3 switched to 4, and it sucked, resulting in 5 being made). Met up with friends, had lunch and dinner out today, then bao bing/shaved ice (authentic). Haven't had that in ages! Also got 2 lacoste polos , friend lost mad weight, and they don't fit him anymore.
swt61 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Studied for my exam on Saturday. Watched The Ax Fight and The Hunters (which counted as revision:cool:). Created an unfortunately foul pasta sauce and had a ham sandwich for tea instead. Also suffered a libelous and racist attack from Stanley Beresford. Stupid question Duggeh... I know that you Brits refer to a meal when you say tea, but is it only proper to refer to lunch as tea, or is it the same for dinner? Here in the South many people refer to lunch as dinner, and dinner as supper. That quite frankly drives a Northerner like me crazy.

The class stuff is deeply english. In Scotland, you start the day with breakfast, have lunch at lunchtime and have tea at teatime. Tea is the evening meal, and can be I suppose anytime as early as 4pm (too late for a late lunch) and as late as 7pm. The same meal after about 7pm would still be your tea; you just wouldn’t be eating it at teatime. Dinner refers to a more formal meal, such as in a (suitably upmarket) restaurant, or had when entertaining guests. Dinner is eaten later in the evening. Not before 7pm. If on the day after someone were to ask what you had had for your tea, you would say what you had for dinner, but not necessarily point out it was dinner. So you if you have a dinner party, you have dinner for your tea. If you have a tea party that’s very different, that would be light food and tea (the drink) sometime during the day. You could have a tea party for elevenses, brunch or afternoon tea, but none of these would be having your tea. So you can have tea with any meal at any time, have your tea at teatime or after, tea parties must be before teatime and shouldn’t be had for your tea. “Supper” doesn’t exist, it’s a word made up so that people have an excuse to eat a 4th meal. If your tea is so late that its past teatime or dinnertime, it’s still your tea.
Voltron Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 So, if I understand . . . Tea party: Tea time: Dinner: Breakfast: Lunch:
Hopstretch Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Thank goodness the breakfast link is broken. No one wants to see your runny eggs.
Voltron Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Another try because breakfast was the most titillating of all. No pictures feature me or my eggs, which is fortunate for all concerned. So, if I understand . . . Tea party: Tea time: Dinner: Breakfast: Lunch:
Hopstretch Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Those eggs can stay, as they appear quite firm.
Smeggy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Voltron my metal friend, I think you have it surrounded! Food rules in Britain resemble cricket in the level of confusion it can generate. In school we had lunchtime announced with a dinner bell. Breakfast has always been just that since it was invented. Tea time and dinner time are interchangeable (unless you're in a school with a dinner bell) Terminology also changes with circumstance as some call tea a smaller meal and dinner a bigger one even though they can occur at the same time of day.. Of course, it's well known that Scottish food times are always inferior to their English counterparts. Our food is also better than food costing much more, especially that food (sic) from jock-stap land. Signed JB
guzziguy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 How does formal tea fit into this? Before this thread, I was under the impression that teatime was 4 pm and that it was for tea and finger foods. Shows what I knew.
Duggeh Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Dinnae say ye widnae hae a macaroni n' cheese pie Smeggy!
guzziguy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Dinnae say ye widnae hae a macaroni n' cheese pie Smeggy! Would that be lunch, dinner, supper or tea?
