Though I taunted 11217 a few comments ago, I must say I enjoy his presence, as he spices things up a bit. It would be mighty boring around here if we were all in agreement all the time.
Nevertheless, for some real disagreement, I still prefer sebb!
LS, I don’t mind when 11217 gets feisty, it’s generally pretty entertaining, but I’m not sure it’s in a way that he intends/would like. That is to say it’s amusing but not in a flattering way for him. He denigrates himself with his own behavior. That’s fine that he likes the ‘sport’ of argument, but then he needs to be “sporting”. It’s when he makes it personal that it gets my back up. No reason to go where he goes at times.
There are a lot of interesting, smart, funny and cool people on this site. Enjoy it, enjoy intellectual argument. Enjoy the banter. I actually used to trade a few fun comments with him a long time ago. But he turned on me, rather viciously, one day, fortunately for me a few of the usual suspects stepped in and stuck up for me and thrashed him a bit. I really stepped ‘in it’ that time. I learned to avoid him [and others], and have done so pretty well until today. I knew he’d jump all over me, but I did it anyway, I said what I think and feel. None of us are perfect, and certainly not me. He baited me. I’m no sucker. I can and will stand up for myself.
Okay, I’m back after a couple of hours meeting with a builder.
Looking at a new kitchen, new bathroom, new glass roof on the conservatory (all low-to-mid range stuff but with nice finishes) and knocking out a load-bearing wall.
Who wants to take a guess on what the estimate is going to come out at?
I’m guessing 75k
“touched” as in “Like A Virgin?”
