He made 5000+ and noone noticed but me. Congratulations Anders!
Shame on the rest of you and I don't even really hang out here anymore.

And in this thread (http://www.pdastreet.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56855) too!
Bokke, we've missed you. Come 'round more often so we can keep you up-to-date on current events. There was even a thread about somewhere giving Crawley a run for it's money in the "not where I want to hang out" department.

Now the long-horn thing even called me dead (or something close to that). Maybe just a Christmas wish? :D
You see, Bokkie, the soap opera of this forum evolves, and becomes even more convoluted every day!

Dead Horse is "American" for already discussed, completed, finished etc. "Beating a dead horse" is meant to infer that since it's been dicussed and the outcome is not going to change then why bother.
It's not an insult to you.....it's to Bookie. ;)
Also, Moose have Antlers and not horns so we are very touchy about being called "long-horn" because there is an area of Texas that is referred to as "long-horn".....and since I'm from California , or as our governator says "Kaliforna" we have a tendency to lose our antlers when people refer to us a "horned". :D
Congrats again to going over the top and the 5K post and for understanding American and English humor.....which is probably the most difficult of all. ;)

Since Anders is now a "Dead Horse", does that make him part of the animal contingent? :D
I can't wait to see his new avatar.....
Perhaps

Oh, I know that saying. Even in Swedish, we say (directly translated) that "It's pointless to whip a dead horse".
About some cars, we say "If this had been a horse, I'd have it shot", but that's something else.
I didn't take it as an insult, I was just trying to turn it around to hit the face of the Moose, just below his horns - or whatever he callse them. I knew about the Texas longhorns as well, so that was intended as a pun, too.
There's only one thing I don't understand. You refer to English humor. I thought that was by the same standard as English cooking? :D
Say "hello" to Arnie, from me, next time you run into him in the street.

I'm suppose to see him next Tuesday for a legistlative event here in the State. ;)
Not really but I will be having a dinner with one of his staff - and that's the truth.

I agree with you, Ann. I was just trying to see if anyone in the British, or English, contingent would swallow the bait.

Moose: I never post unless I have something profound to say and sensible advice to offer. You know this.
Q-Eye: never come to Crawley. If you love the concrete jungle; bland architecture; sprawling housing estates; badly spoken and written English; the UK's teenage pregnancy capital; then by all means do so. Find another dismal town with dreary wet streets, one that is a slightly more colourful version of a badly made 1950's B-movie and you'll be a step ahead of this place. Trust me. I've been here 5 years now. The mutants are out there, watching, waiting...
CC: Anders will never be an Animal. He is far too intelligent and clever. An Animal is a particularly fine member of the forum. An exclusive club. No one is invited, and to be honest, we only joined by accident because our user names and avatars made us eligible.
Ann: English humour. Crawley might be the pits but one thing they have in abundance of here is the humour. It is utterly unique and joyfully exploited.

I just realised that I was a bit more subtle than I even intended to. There is no such thing as English humor. But there is English humour.
Of course. Simple when you think of it.
