Whay has Mary got so many replies - 21 at the time of posting?
|
Because "Mary" has kept her details quiet and left a thread that is bound to set those who have been so quiet - active - and set those who are the voice of reason;
Dave Woollard;
The Tune-Up Posse;
Messrs Lacey(!);
HJ himself;
and many others against the whole thing resulting in a drab tit for tat arguement.
and it's not because it's getting late.

Paul,
Just so you get at least one reply....
For my part I look at such dubious posts but consider it is just possible there is a real person there that may warrant a reply.
So I pich between good humour and respect...then see where it runs.
Same for several others I guess.
Then by the time we get to the bottom the Lacey boys know we're onto a spoof and they can wind it up for us.
Actually quite a chatty car related night tonight.
Did you ever see the girl in those tiger print trousers?

I must be dim (after all, didn't I get it wrong about Raghu's Daewoo post, Steve P? Or did I?). And I must be boring, too, Alex and Mark, because I thought the evening's posts were fun, except for that bit about Vicki BH's bust. By the way, DFG, don't try to post again using that nickname.
I quite enjoyed the way Mary Longford wound everyone up tight like a whalebone corset. And I'm surprised no-one else noticed her promise to crank her husband's starting handle in the morning.

I know it was late, but I couldn't understand a word she was on about.
|
|

Noticed and ignored the starting methods.
Best option

Could be a typical woman, nice to look at but a pain to listen to?

Your wife does not come on this site then, Paul........

Of course not, does not stop talking for long enough to listen to anyone else anyway

My female intuition says 'she's' a man (who's swallowed a dictionary).
One of the reasons I like it here is the mix of pure techie and vaguely auto-related chat. My job is auto-related, but I'm lost on the techie stuff.
Bickering is annoying, but a bit of humour/mick-taking doesn't do any harm.

Rebecca, thanks for your intuitive insight. This is a difficult one for a moderator. You have to take people as they present themselves, I think.
I saw (and still see, if only for the reason I've just stated) Mary Longford as someone who had noticed how things had been a bit fraught here over the past few weeks, and was doing a good job of telling us all just how precious we were being about our rights, and about the wrongs done to us. (And I certainly include myself among that 'all'.) I began to have some doubts about her 'stability' as the posts went on, but never any doubts about her gender. But then of course I don't possess Rebecca's intuition .
Having said that, even if Mary L _is_ a 'man who's swallowed a dictionary', well, so what....? It takes all sorts.
Thanks for your post, Rebecca.

Quite right, Martyn! It doesn't bother me in the slightest who Mary L is.

I'm with Rebecca on this one (we gals must stick together, but obviously that doesn't include Mary). For what it's worth I like some techie bits (the bits I can understand), some motoring bits, and lots of the banter bits. But I read most of them.

"we gals must stick together, but obviously that doesn't include Mary"
Two's company, three's a crowd.
But did you have to have me *ostracised* gels.
I find that soooooooooo painfull.
