Perhaps this forum would benefit from having it's two (or three) most prolific posters taking a month (or six) off. I sincerely hope you enjoy your break, Billy. I enjoy many of Billy's posts, and indeed yours Trev, you both have a keen sense of humour, which cannot be said for everyone on this forum

Or more importantly and helpfully if people learnt what a discussion was, that people can hold different views and everyone can share them. Or not cry and resort to childish analogies every time someone disagreed with them. Or if some people just didn’t come to troll every couple of months Some might say you should take some of your own advice. Some may say perhaps you should look into a mirror

As for the violent imagery, personally I don't like it as a rule. But for crying out loud, this was obvious satire. It was clearly a parody of the quote from 1984: "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." If you think that was meant literally then I suggest you read or re-read that book. I'm not completely illiterate but I don't know of the quote from 1984. It wasn't obvious satire! Maybe to you!

Given that the comment was immediately preceded by no less than 12 other comments on the same page, all expressly referring to the same novel, some might say the clues were there...

Of course I blame Timbo for everything, because he started it by mentioning Airstrip One.

Fair play. Pinewalker was the instigator, and you're the accomplice. Room 101 for both of you!
