You got it wrong again, Redhead! My favorite word is "flibbertygibbet."Redhead wrote:You and RE30B#16 have a couple of things in common, you both have favourite words, yours is "dirty", his is "rubbish", and you both read things into my post that aren't there.

All because I was so errant in suggesting that there might be a little gap in FA's CV. And please don't bother pointing out to me that someone his age cant possibly have full CV, I may look stupid, but i'm sorry to inform you, I'm not. If you two are so paranoid about having anything other than lovely nice things said about FA then I'm sorry, you are always going to have trouble with my posts.
However I am proud to have contributed to your vocabulary, you both looked up the work "selective" learned how to spell it, and both felt so upset by it you thought if you put it in a sentence and direct it at me so I would be upset too.
Now, before I drown in my own tidal wave of sarcasm. if either or preferably both of you are capable of accepting that I never thought, said, or meant to imply, that FA's WDC was only due to his car then I will call it quits.
As an indicator of my sincerity I am prepared to admit that yes, JayVee, I misread your post re the comparison, the sentence in its entirety does make sense.

Dinner was superb thank you, you never would have thought a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper and grated cheese could turn baked beans on toast into such a tour de force.
Actually, Redhead, I used the word "rubbish" twice in the same paragraph in one post, and I was not using it to describe your original post. Here's what I said:Redhead wrote:And I am so sorry that i have been insulting and emotional, I think it might about the third time RE30B#16 described my original post as "rubbish" that I realised how emotional I was becoming.
This remark wasn't specifically directed at you, but I guess the shoe fit.When Schumacher won his first 2 championships for Benetton, everyone said he did it in a car that was inferior. That was rubbish then, and to suggest Alonso has yet to prove himself as equal in talent to Michael Schumacher, who is talented but not the most talented driver I've ever seen, is equally rubbish.
I don't think either JayVee or I meant to suggest you were saying FA's WDC was due to the car. I was objecting to your implication that FA had yet to prove himself as a top talent. This was triggered by this remark you made:Redhead wrote:Now, before I drown in my own tidal wave of sarcasm. if either or preferably both of you are capable of accepting that I never thought, said, or meant to imply, that FA's WDC was only due to his car then I will call it quits.
Ultimately, I was asking you the question, "what else do you need to see?" You never addressed or explained this remark in any of your responses, yet this is the very remark we took acception to. That is why I kept harping on it. I find it hard sometimes to understand why some F1 fans (not necessarily you) will wax poetic about the unbelievable talents of, for instance, Kimi Raikkonen, yet want to act as if the jury is still out in deciding whether or not the soon-to-be-crowned-two-time WC Fernando Alonso is of equal talent. A lot of pundits do this. This gets my emotions going.Redhead wrote:we have yet to see FA get results in a car that he shouldnt, win races that he shouldnt have. This is a quality that MS has demonstrated on many occasions, and provide some of my enduring memories of recent F1 years (in all its limitations). Im not saying that FA is not capable of this, but I have yet to see it.
Ya know, I'm gonna have to try that! It sounds yummy!Dinner was superb thank you, you never would have thought a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper and grated cheese could turn baked beans on toast into such a tour de force.
Be careful! I think I told you once before how much I love redheads!kisses,
