I'm going to quit here

[Goodwatch]

As one of the resident clowns. It tarnishes my reputation as a human being and as a Dutchman. I’m sorry for this but recent events force me to do so. I will therefore post much less than before.

My posts will only contain serious watch matters and pictures. The reason I do this is because I received several PM’s and e-mails pressing me to behave and to compose myself. I don’t want to leave this forum as of yet but I’m thinking it over.

Thank you.
















































Fooled you, tossers!

You would have to be a tosser to be fooled by that one, Fransie!


Here's a little something for you........

And by the way, I'm not sure it's possible to "tarnish" the reputation of a Dutchman.......LOL!!

It's okay dude, your English is far better than my Dutch.....

[C.J.]

[Goodwatch]

Frans, what we have here is a failure to communicate........the word "loser" in the context of my signature is spelled correctly. So now I am not sure what your point is?

No, not a failure to communicate but a mis-communication. During the years, 'loser' has changed in meaning. My quote is from a 1923 dictionary. I was under the impression that 'loser' had to be spelled as 'looser' but that makes no sense. Well, loosen up dude Remember, English is a second language to me guys

Look back a few posts - I put the two definitions up for you.

As I said there, no worries - your English is still better than my Dutch.

The forum is slow now and the e-mails lag behind so I didn't catch it. I also speak and read German and can follow a (slow) French conversation. A few sentences of Arabic from my Army days. But how IS your Dutch? Hoe gaat het? Heb je nog geneukt? (The translation of the latter sentence is not to be made public.....).

Okay, not sure where we are with this thread, so I'm done.

According to Babelfish........

"How does it go? Have still screwed you?"

Not sure I really care if that's right at this point.........

No, Babelfish stinks with Dutch.

1. How are you?
2. Did you get l@@d lately?

I agree, let's get the hell out of this thread

[JJ Irani]

Frans,

You should have QUIT while you were ahead!!

Al, I don't know what dictionary you're using but that's a grammatical error there. Using the word 'that' in place of a person is in effect, objectifying a person, i.e. turning a living thing into an object... which is grammatically wrong (unless you're objectifying a female... then it's okay by me ).

Don't tell me you're using a Webster. Please don't!

Damn life is filled with empty hope.

I feel like I am standing beside the Tower of Babel reading this thread.

If there is any meaning to life, it cannot be found anywhere in this thread.

Okay, I won't tell you that I am using a Webster that is free and on line.......

Do you have a link to a (free) Canadian Oxford?

Despite the grammar, the point was made.......
