you may be right
Look man, you are probably right. It is harsh to wish a terminal illness upon someone. My point was that this "commie rot" comment was so much harsher in the light of reality. My family member would not have received the wonderful treatment they did under any privatised health system. And to have RobS cheapen it with his sour and dour remarks really fucks me off. Ace McWickedModel 500 11:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I wouldn't let it bother you Ace, RobS is an irrational cunt and it is frustrating talking to him because nothing enters his head. He can't get past his 1950s paranoia about reds, which he pretty much admitted he doesn't really understand. It is sad that any decent social project can be derailed by playing the communist card because of people like him. - π 11:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with you about health systems, and I agree that RobS is an appalling person. I agree that his "commie rot" comment was, even for him, a fucking disgraceful one that makes you wonder how much lower he can go. It was just the illness thing. I've had several relatives and one friend die from cancer, and another friend had to go through a painful and scary treatment to rid herself of it. That's why I got a bit upset. All good; back to business. SuspectedReplicant (talk) 11:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed, back to business. Business trumps all. Business and this haunting hangover which I can feel creeping out of my eyes. Ace McWickedModel 500 19:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Evidence would suggest that humans enjoy hangovers, given the amount of money we spent on them. I'm currently in the process of creating a beauty. Tonight's ingredients are: 2×litre bottles of vodka (THAT should scare RobS) (don't worry - I won't be drinking all of both bottles) and some diet coke. Before anyone points it out, I am well aware of the words from that great sage of modern times, Paris Hilton, who said "Only fat people drink diet coke". I'm also well aware of the words of that other great sage of modern times, me, who said "Diet coke tastes like shit". In my defense, I can only say this: a) too late; b) I finished the proper coke last night and I'm left with the wrongly-delivered shit from a couple of weeks back.
- The thought occurs that I was too busy being offended to be a proper human being. Ace, I wish your relative all the best and I sincerely hope he or she recovers quickly. SuspectedReplicant (talk) 20:36, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately people do not "recover" from cancer, they are just in remission. It's like a sword of Damocles hanging over them for the rest of their life. Every time my wife feels a new ache in her body she gets worried that the 'C' is back. Oh Ace, did you copy my idea for listing all the free treatment that socialised medicine supplied for your relative?
Генгисmarauding 20:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- You are, unfortunately, right. Please consider my earlier statement reworded accordingly, but with all the sentiment retained. SuspectedReplicant (talk) 21:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- It wasn't really a criticism, it's just the media often talks about "cancer cures" and those without direct experience of the condition regard a successful course of treatment as a cure, but those in the front line know differently. Indeed, your sentiments were well intentioned. In my own case, my wife has now been in remission for five years and her (NHS) consultant is confident that she will continue for a good while longer - she was very fortunate to have an identical twin who was able to provide clean stem cells for a transplant. But others that I know have not been so fortunate; my colleagues wife had breast cancer follwed by a double mastectomy and lymphectomy after my wife and has recently been diagnosed with secondaries in the brain. I can also think of maybe five or six others in my limited circle of aquaintances who have also been diagnosed with cancer in recent years. The costs of private treatment would be horrendous and renewing a policy after a lot of expensive treatment is very difficult unless you are wealthy. The NHS is not perfect but for the most part it works for most of the people which is really all one can expect from a universal scheme.
Генгисmarauding 21:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't take it as a criticism, and I'm sure it wasn't, but with hindsight: it should have been and I should have done. It was a very sloppy post (by me). "Could XXXXX be a cure for cancer" is an easy, attention-grabbing headline for TV and newspapers, and they succumb too often. My first experience of the disease was... 17 years ago. One of my grandmothers was dying of cancer and I, at university and newly-acquainted with the internet - such as it was back then - looked to find anything I could. There was a decent amount of Woo even back then.
- It's a slip that is also encouraged to some extent by the medical profession - for the best of reasons. "We've dealt with the main problem, but this illness never goes away so you'll be back here in 10 years, tops" isn't going to reassure anyone.
- As an aside, my maternal grandmother actually took up smoking after she was diagnosed. In her own words: "I always wanted to try it, and I've got the perfect reply if anybody tells me it causes cancer". Gallows humour at its best. SuspectedReplicant (talk) 22:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanking you SuspectedReplicant. Now, a question, you're walking in the desert and you find a tortise laying on its back.....Ace McWickedModel 500 23:47, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Funny you should talk about your maternal grandmother and smoking. Mine and Ace's close associate, since being diagnosed, has decided they would like to experiment with the herb. Rad McCool (talk) 23:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Morning Rad, I am going to make a Hash Cake for them. Ace McWickedModel 500 23:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Morning to you and all, I think that would be a good idea, not to mention amusing.Rad McCool (talk) 00:01, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Arabpride's block
While I understand that a good revenge block sometimes makes you feel good (I, too have been guilty of that before), there is no point in blocking someone who is already vandal binned, since they can only edit once per hour anyways. Not trying to step on your nuts, but there is little point in blocking someone for an hour if they can only make one edit in that hour anyways. Cheers.Lord of the Goons (talk) 21:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Which talkpage you wanna take this up on?Lord of the Goons (talk) 21:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oi! It's not a revenge block since I've got no axe to grind with Arabpride at all. I saw vandalism. I saw the user was in the V/bin but continued anyway so I went for a block. If that was wrong, then I'm sorry. And discussions should always take place on the original page or you end up getting whiplash flicking from one talk page to another. SuspectedReplicant (talk) 21:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- No, I know about talkpages, but you and I were simultaneously writing on eachother's talkpages, and it was only after I saved yours that I saw you left a message for me. Again, I understand the need to jst shut people up sometimes, but I remember a few months ago when I blocked someone in the vandal bin (the infamous Marcus Cicero) and got lambasted by the majority of the 'crats here because "That's what the vandal bine was created for, and the one thing they do in that hour is easily undone."Lord of the Goons (talk) 21:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

History
Yes, I was rpeh.
I started using a different name because I realised I'd burned too many bridges by pushing too hard when I didn't know enough about the subject matter, so I started again. I apologise to all those who I offended before. If anybody requires an individual apology, I will be happy to give it.
I think we can all agree that there are bigger and more important targets that need hitting before we start aiming at each other, and I wish I hadn't detracted from that. SuspectedReplicant (talk) 23:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- You're rpeh? I thought you got a rough ride, personally speaking. Totnesmartin 18:57, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes I did, but it didn't excuse me deliberately being a right fucking pain in the ass. Thank you for having me back. SuspectedReplicant 18:59, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Tea in first
Or not? I am undecided on the matter. Wisest cubic Phantom Hoover! 18:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- It depends. The "polite" way is milk first, then tea and I usually do it that way, not to be polite but because I find it easier to judge the amount of milk. Tea first is the way Douglas Adams recommended (Salmon of Doubt) and is generally believed to produce a better-tasting final product because the milk doesn't get scalded. I remain to be convinced.
- The important thing is that all of those little bags of tea with strings on them get destroyed and never darken the face of the Earth again. Tea must be made in a pot. Preferably china, although my current one is stainless steel I'm afraid to say. SuspectedReplicant 18:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Well, tea bags are far more practical, but I agree that the tea made is highly inferior. Wisest cubic Phantom Hoover! 19:21, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Tea bags I don't mind. Tea made in the cup is an abomination! And yes, I do it sometimes but it's wrong! WRONG I say! SuspectedReplicant 19:24, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I do it too! I'm so ashamed! *sobs* Wisest cubic Phantom Hoover! 19:26, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- There, there. We can console each other in our debauchery. We should be safe from ridicule though - Americans only drink something called "karfee" and Aussies only drink fizzy lager. It's a fact. I read it somewhere. SuspectedReplicant 19:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I have heard strange and terrifying tales of this land called America. It is said that they make tea as weak as bathwater, and that one can only find real tea in British speciality shops. Wisest cubic Phantom Hoover! 19:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- It seems a strange country indeed. Their previous leader declared war on tourism while declaring himself a merkin and their current one is trying to inflict socialism on poor children by telling them to work hard in school. I know colonies are rarely very sophisticated, but they seem to go too far. SuspectedReplicant 19:39, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

This is why.
Go here. This is what MC does to everyone. He'll pick someone and just lay into them. That's all he does here. Sure he seems clever enough, but he is an abusive little man, not just abusive in response to people, but abusive for the sake of being abusive. Ace McWickedModel 500 20:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Student abuse
Do you still have the full source from assfly getting his arse handed to him on a plate by a student's mother? someone seems to have oversighted it on his talk page. CrundyTalk nerdy to me 21:22, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry - I had an early night and only just saw this. You can get the links (and diff images) from here. It's the one that starts "NaN Andy's economics course". –SuspectedReplicantretire me 04:37, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
