What was it you said about the white flag a few days ago?
A weak surrender in the end. Destroyed. Decimated. Back in your box now fucking Samuel Beckett!

Hold off a bit, mate - PM @Malarkey is approaching deadline hour for tomorrowâs print and is filtering through a number of suitable texts from Galway men to hammer Tipp with.
W.B. Yeats once observed the following: âThat guy is some fucking spooferâ. I feel, in this case most certainly, that the great poetâs keen eye, and indeed his sharp tongue, holds spectacular relevance here.
Every bucket eventually sees a spot of rust.
Most buckets are made from plastic these days.
The unhappy masochist (Bandage in search of self persuasion):
I was typing, and indeed thinking, in the style of a 19th Century âWest Britâ cunt who fancies himself a shade of a scribe. Hence, the bucket must fit the script.
Alas, now I canât seem to stop thinking, and indeed, typing in this convuluted, contorted and constipated style.
Good one mateâŚ
You already said that mate. And it was shit.
Youâve been rumbled. No shame in it. This place was built on rebrands. Next rebrand avoid the intellectual civil servant boring people in the pub with his âwitâ approach. As it is shit.
Iâm done here. Someone remove the carcass of this peasant, this misfortune. Heâs beginning to stink.
*** I believe I have successfully entered his mind, as all I want to do is include comma after comma, making my sentences as long as possible, using words I learned in a 6th class dictionary exercise but had forgotten up to now, and signing them off with a witless one-liner. What shall I do??
Everyone loves a little doggie
Here we have a lad who can recall at will obscure sentences from hurling columns 26 or 27 months old. Yet he professes to despise the same writer⌠Does this tangle not bring to mind confusion of a âscreaming doolallyâ kind? Or of that image just posted?
I cannot say I do not read writers and writing I find bad. I read later Martin Amis, as it comes out, so as to keep myself informed. But do I read the execrable Howard Jacobson? Do I doolally⌠Still less do I memorize passages from his work.
There will be people on this site in five yearsâ time, including this gobdaw, quoting bits of what I posted this week.
As in: âEveryone loves a little doggie.â
The worm might forgive the plough but not the bullseye the arrow.
We are on a noisy meltdown, as opposed to the several silent(ish) meltdowns thus far.
I skipped the last 200 or so posts. @horsebox, whatâs the verdict on Kevin Myers and @Malarkey anyway?
Myers is a cunt , detested by everyone on the forum.
@Malarkey is cleaning house but trying too hard.
I think the forum will side with Myers.
âSince it is shitâ.
You need to use âsinceâ instead of âasâ when causality is moot.
âAs I walked home, it was raining.â
âI walked home, since it had started raining.â
Then again, this site is all chicken and over egg.
Alas, my good friend, thou hast not heard of Google! It took me but 20 seconds and five to find an article with such fine examples of your scribal scutter, which I was referring to. The Internet never forgets, so I donât have to remember, thankfully. I managed to get two unnecessary commas into that last sentence.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
No one knows how hard I am trying, because no one knows to where the needle could rise⌠Not that it matters, either way.
Itâs a long road that doesnât turn. A fallen tree is a tree nonetheless.
With respect, mate - No one here is asking for a lesson on diction.
Itâs a forum - All you have to do is get the ball over the net and it donât matter how you do it, so it donât. You demean us all, including yourself, when you engage in this carry on⌠so you do.
You are terribly fixated on commas â and are going a fair way to putting the âgomâ into âcommaâ.
Interesting that you concede it would be a psychological giveaway to be able to recall stuff that you purport to despise. I just wonder whether Google covers the law of excluded twaddle.
I think you have to factor in the type of interaction with which I am typically dealing. It is not so much volleyball as catapults.
