=TEFL START= Just calling in to say :Hi; Wouldn't feel right to RW on here though. Toast 20:02, 19 August 2009 (UTC) Hi Toast. Well, it's pretty quiet generally, so you wouldn't scare the horses.--Bob M 20:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Bob, I don't know if you've seen this on the blog:
 * "we could invade Bob's wiki: possibly use a couple of pages there & copy them to RW when it's back & Bob could delete it there. If that's OK with Bob of course."
 * How do you feel about it? Toast 21:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh hai. Nutty Roux 22:27, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hai! There's only me & thee, so far. Toast
 * And now four. As for the blog world, The Weeping Vagina is now open for business, although here is probably a lot easier. SuperJosh 22:51, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Five. Why the hell did you name your blog The Weeping Vagina?!?!?--PitchBlackMind 22:53, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Six. And it's funny to watch Philip try to sound reasonable when putting forward ideas that would sound like barking insanity when coming from anyone but a Creationist.  Global flood?  Humans starting from two people?  The world 6000 years old?  Only a Creationist could get away with that stuff without being laughed out of the room, but as it is they've got their own support group to prop up each others' illusions. --Kels 22:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * (EC) When CUR opened the Weeping Lion a couple of months ago Ace McWicked suggested calling it the Weeping Vagina. It's on RWW, but that seems to have vanished along with RW. Are they on the same server or something? SuperJosh 22:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * They are. For a while now :) Worm 23:12, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ahhh, right. SuperJosh 12:48, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Please
don't make a mess here. We're guests and should behave with decorum. Toast 22:55, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've already thanked Bob and apologised in advance. SuperJosh 22:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Help
I can't speak English as a first language, can you help me? Pi 23:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No. --Kels 23:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

New pages
I've created WIGOCP & WIGO ASK Toast 23:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh dear :,-(
Philip, I don't believe you! There's no equivalence
 * You: God did it in a period of (considerably) less than 6,000 years
 * Source: a book written by primitive tribesmen:


 * Me: Established physical laws of the universe did it over (up to) 4,000,000,000 years;
 * Source: experiment and reasoning by modern man:

Can't you see the difference? Seems like wilful ignorance to me: fingers in ears and "la, la, la." User 11speak to me 12:08, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

[post deleted and user blocked per "If you make any further accusations, I insist that you (a) make clear exactly what your accusation is (no hiding behind vagueness), and (b) provide evidence to back them up. Failure to do this will result in your accusation being deleted and your account blocked."  The accusation was "Seems like wilful ignorance to me: fingers in ears and "la, la, la."". While I would normally allow some leeway, given the warnings, this is nothing more than mocking. The rest of the post did not constitute evidence for the accusation.] Philip J. Rayment discuss 15:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Toast 19:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Well of course it's nothing more than mocking, you faux-reasonable prat! Mocking is all your arguments deserve!  Like I said, if anyone but a Creationist suggested this stuff, you'd think he was barking mad.  As it is, you're barking mad anyway but you've got a multi-billion dollar support group that tells you that you're a genius. --Kels 19:31, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Splutter, splutter, BAN! (The reason I put 4 billion rather than 13.7 billion is that he was using (mostly) things to do with life rather than the universe.) Toast 19:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * To be honest I'm surprised you lasted this long. I gave up long ago when I saw where it was going. Totnesmartin 20:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The number of times I wrote something, stood up, made a coffee, & came back to delete: "FUCKING WANKER"; "You are joking of course?"; "Go and read a book by someone with more than one braincell"; "your God is a fucking figment of your retarded imagination; etc; etc; you wouldn't believe. Toast 20:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't believe that his block excuse is "following instructions." Just a little authoritarian. {sterile} 22:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's theocracies for you. Toast 22:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 *   Isn't it usual to tell the blocked person on their talk page?  Toast 22:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You're probably not worth it.... Sterile 23:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll be back. Toast 23:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

You know, he looks a little like RobS
Stupid dining room table. --Kels 01:01, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait, that's Andy's gerbil! We finally have proof! Human 03:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

sysop
Just made you a sysop as you seem to be doing some reverting.--Bob M 07:51, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Honoured, kind sir. Toast 09:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Why it's so hard to lose our playground
just made me chuckle, and weep, intensely to myself. Hey, Bob, thanks for letting us use your space to keep in touch. Human 03:32, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * haha, I like it! SuperJosh 10:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks...
...for the hint to the template! DiEb 15:55, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It doesn't work on the image files though, so you'll have to upload the images again. Only the image description will be transfered. Nx 16:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * @ Dieb: won't work anyway: see Nx's note :suggest you keep 'em in a separate directory/folder on your machine & then you'll be able o reupload once we're back.
 * @ Nx: Yeah, I put that question somewhere. Toast 16:17, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * this, it doesn't contain the image data Nx 16:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) that's it; 2) Aah, Vienna[means nothing to me]. Sorry, that might as well be tagalog: me no unnerstan' - no worries, I trust you. ;-) Toast 16:27, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I made it!
...and here I am! :p lol Thanks Toast! :-D Refugee 22:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi there Refugee. (Dunno why but I feel somewhat protective about you. Strange: I haven't a maternal bone in my body) Toast 22:37, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I am a little pissed. Tonight 3 glasses of Hungarian Merlot! Toast 22:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If they're letting you drink again, isn't that really good news re: your health care treatments? Human 23:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the strictures: max 4 units/24 hours. That limits me to 2 short measures of scotch or 3 wines or 3 beers. As I'm totally not used to it, I'm flattened by even that. Toast 23:14, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So at least you can enjoy it! For me, that would be called "getting ready to drink" ;) Human 23:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * that's more or less how I used to be: a couple of malts before going out to the pub & a half dozen or so when back. Apparently it's not all that good for you! Who'd a thunk it? Toast 23:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hate to spoil your evening Toast, but three glasses of wine is probably closer to 5 units. A typical bottle (six pub-size 125 ml glasses) of 14% wine contains 10.5 units and a pint of 4% beer contains 2.3 units. Don't overdo it, we all want you to make the best recovery you can. Lily The Pink 06:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go... Human 06:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank god you're here, I was worried about you Refugee-lover! Ace McWicked 06:55, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Lily, I know I'm stretching it but I'm home drinkin'. Like home schoolin' it's not quite the same as the real thing. I have small glasses of wine & drink bottled beer. and so far no spirits. I have a constant watchdog who ensures that I don't overdo it. Toast 12:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ace: I'm watching you! Toast 12:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * it's great that you are watching out for me Toast, quite all right with me! :-) Refugee 22:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

=TEFL END=

Hehe, that's funny. Any reason for the single = header level? 03:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Images
No need to upload all of them, just the ones that have been deleted before we got back. -- Nx  / talk 01:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You catch me after the event, sorry![[image:Cry.gif]] they're all uploadeed now.[[image:Pussy01.gif]] 01:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Your opinions of tea
What are they? 19:50, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * (strange question) I have probably fewer than five cups/year so "not a lot". 04:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Blow up
Our desk-top's blown up; can't geet the eeepc to recognise the ''3" mobile broadband dongle; reduced to phone for forseeable future. 04:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
How embarrassing! –SuspectedReplicantretire me 15:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's just that I started the page (as SusanG) so I knew it was there. 16:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

You okay?
Haven't seen you in a few days...-p. TheoryOfPractice 01:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, just saw you killed your desktop. Hope you're back online soon. -p. TheoryOfPractice 01:44, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking; I'm OK. I'm reading plenty on this phone but writing's a pain. 09:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hope all is well. Sterile 02:15, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message at talk:AWKward IDiots. Glad you're still around, I miss you.  03:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Susan
How's life treating you Susan? MarcusCicero 12:52, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

You're here!
That's nice. TheoryOfPractice 02:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've never been aeway - too much like hard worj to edit on this phone. Nice to be misssed though.[[image:Kiss.gif]] 02:37, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

What day of the week will it be in ten days' time?
In ten days time it will be Thursday. Please print off this message and keep it about your person as a helpful reminder. Totnesmartin 16:42, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Shades of Bluebottle. 16:54, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What time is it, Eccles? That conversation is great! Totnesmartin 21:01, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It is 8 o'clock. 22:15, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Punctuation
Reminds me of editing papers with my supervisor. He never questions the content, but we are back and forth with commas all day. 03:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * My view is:- as long as the meening get's aX it dont mater unleß you wont to publlish it! Eye thinc that itt displays a pernikkerty naychoor to incist on evrithyng beeing spelt and puctooated write butt its nice to now teh write way? gud fur a laff aniwae.  03:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Supervisor/PhD student relationships are always a bit weird, as they are the authority figure, but after a while you are the authority. I think pulling my paper apart is their way of controlling the situation. 03:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the same in any such situation; trying to show they (authority figure) is better in some way. 03:20, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Challenge
Hey, not really sure how many people are checking the Pseudoscience section of the forum, so just wanted you to know that I'm issuing a challenge to all the members here: I'm sick of bullshit God-of-the-Gaps arguments that rely on distorting and misrepresenting High School level science. I want some bullshit God-of-the-Gaps arguments that rely on distorting and misrepresenting COLLEGE-level science. I've posted mine, I'm waiting for anyone to try to outdo me. &mdash; Unsigned, by: Mustex / talk / contribs
 * What forum? Link? 01:20, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

http://forum.rationalwiki.com/ Am I the only one aware that exists? Is that why its so under-used?--Mustex 01:32, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not the only one, no, but linking are good. Trouble is the only one on it lately has been an oriental (Japanese?) nutter with anti-Einsteinian beliefs. 01:35, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Having looked: Hmm! 01:38, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, and I thought I just didn't get replies because no one liked me. ;) Anyway, go to the Pseudoscience section, read my challenge, and my entry into the challenge, and try to come up with you own.  It will amuse me to no end if people who mock creationists (and, I'm guessing, most of you are atheists or agnostic, although I'm not) are able to come up with better arguments for creationism than the creationists themselves.--Mustex 01:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

screenshots
Hey there, I started Help:Screenshots, but it needs fleshing out by users of other OSs, platforma, etc. Heck, I can't even remember what that program I downloaded Screengrab! is called. Also, I realize there are a handful of "formal" edits required to blend help pages into the rest of the help system, and since you wrote them I bet you don't have to do research to do them correctly. Can you help please? (If you're too busy or sumthin just say so and I'll bang through it) 02:42, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! 23:20, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Parentheses, square and round.
Thanks. RaoulDuke 01:48, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 's' okay - it is the convention. Ordinary parentheses don't show editorial inclusion. An alternative is to use ... . 02:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Oops
Just saw your comment about blocks. Apologies for that, but thanks for the changes you made to the copyright article. --Concernedresident 00:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Hair
It's back? Isn't that great news? I hope I am not misinterpreting. 04:17, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, it's back - not really long enough to warrant the hairdresser but SWMBO gave me a treat. 17:00, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Bat out of Hell
After yesterdays conversation, I am now listening to Bat out of Hell. You know what I am thinking of now don't you? Yes thats right, what I am going to have for lunch. A ham sandwich probably. I'll need some cheese though but there a supermarket down the road. Ace McWickedI'm a pretty big deal around here... 21:52, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * (why does a ham sarnie require cheese?) /{thinks: not had a ham sarnie for ages} Twas the alcohol talking last night. I'm not used to it & tend to engage keyboard before putting brain into gear. 23:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A ham sammie begs for cheese. That's why they call it a "ham and cheese" sammie...  04:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Thick as two short planks
Anybody in particular, or just dumping notes? Totnesmartin 17:53, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

CP Awards
Hi! :D Would be interested in hearing your opinion on this: http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Debate_Talk:2009_Conservapedia_day_awards#Misogyny_Award ?? Thanks, Refugee talk page 23:59, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Toasty! :-D I hope you are feeling better - I'm off to cook some dinner now, although according to Ed Poor, as a feminist, I look with disdain upon such household chores... Refugee talk page 01:57, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Gmail
Someone's sent me an email: I'm not picking Google mail up : all it tells me is that I've got one email: it won't load it. Damnit. 20:11, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably some kind of malware. SuperJosh sent me one of those once.  Just delete it or ignore it. 20:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it isn't: I got an idea who it's from but I'm not sure: there's a bit more than I said in the header. 20:17, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It was me. You can guess the text.--BobNot Jim 20:20, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I thought so from the header. 20:24, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Agreement
I agree he should be desyopped and vandal-binned. I can't figure out why it has never been done. AceMcWicked 20:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It has been done, but then other users here object to him being vandal binned, and then, months later, some drunken crat comes out and sysops him to rile the mob and the cycle starts all over again. 20:32, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * EC) Because he's a weasel who targets one or two relatively tolerant and/or relatively new editors & convinces them. Today was ridiculous 6½ hours with about six people & he's let off his total wankerishness. He's doing a TK: divide & conquer. 20:36, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Imagine if he was TK. That'd be hilarious and not altogether unsurprising. 20:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh well. I'll support any effort to get rid of the cunt but I am not going to argue about it. AceMcWicked 20:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I won't post on any section that he's posted in. He contaminates everything he touches. 20:47, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Bit harsh innit? I'm sure everybody here knows Susan's backstory? MarcusCicero 21:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You mean leaving Stilton smeared all over the help files when she was building them? 22:50, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Tanith Lee
Not sure what the convention here is, answering on your own talk page or on the talk page of the one talking to you. But I read the books I mentioned twenty years ago, and since then, I've tried to spread the gospel according to Tantih. Nice knowing somebody else here appreciates her talent. Dendlai 16:52, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Generally: If you leave a message here, I will respond here, unless you ask for a response on your talk page. Similarly, if I comment on your talk page, I will look for a reply there. (known as "no ping-ponging")


 * thought you must be past the teen years. Olaf Stapledon also good. To coin a phrase: they were giants in those days. Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein, Simak Bradbury etc. 16:57, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Only kidding
That was a real message. But I will get you all again. Not if. But when. 18:04, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

TK
I just received a very super secret email that you are, in fact, TK. The email states that SusanG was a deep cover troll sock of TK, and that she was intended to blend seemlessly into RW society so as to weaken and degrade you. Is any of this true? MarcusCicero 18:41, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Oooh...
FaggotObsessive1212 ain't gonna like this. Sane people, on the other hand... --Kels 16:48, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ain't that the truth. 21:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Invitation
As you were kind enough to invite me here, I thought I'd return the complement and invite you to the rapidly-growing BlightyNet. We have tea and biscuits! Totnesmartin 23:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks but "No". 23:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok mate. Totnesmartin 23:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

My suspicions
I suspect that you probably watched Edge of Darkness - Bob Peck, nuclear refining, and all.

If so, how does this and the cries of omg lethal weapon 5 make you feel?

--  ䷉䷻䷶䷈䷰䷒䷰䷈䷶䷈䷡   ䷶䷀䷵䷥
 * Whoo! I do remember that, it's some time ago (15-20 years?). It still rings a special chord in my memory. I see that it'll have the same director but can't imagine why they cast Gibson! Are there no British actors? ( I'm bandwidth limited so ain't gonna watch the UTub.) 00:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ray Winstone's playing Darius Jedburgh, he's the only notable one. I seriously don't know what on earth was going on when they cast him. --  ䷉䷻䷶䷈䷰䷒䷰䷈䷶䷈䷡   ䷶䷀䷵䷥

Talent
Seriously, it's more perspiration than inspiration for me. I've got things I want to be able to do, and it's a lot of uphill climbing to get to them. That's what my November project is all about, honestly. --Kels 04:54, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Morning
Just thought I'd drop by and say hello. What's got you up so late/early? 02:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I was wondering the same about you, but then I remembered: student. We're at the other end of the scale being antiques so we tend to get up when we feel like it & go to bed likewise. We'll probably kip about 5:00 or so. The only thing that constrains us is shopping - the local Sainsbury filling station doesn't have a very good food selection so daytime is sometimes necessary. My other half used to work permanent nights so we got used to the inverted time thing. 02:28, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha :) Yeah, for some reason my housemates all go to bed before 12, but most nights I'm up 'til about 3AM when I don't have morning lectures. It's getting annoying though, I oughta go to bed earlier, but even when I'm up in the morning I can't sleep 'til very late. I'm sure I'm slowly developing some degree of insomnia. Or just a completely whacked out body clock. 02:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It's probably your body clock. Without a fixed time schedule we all tend to stretch the day. From memory people isolated without time cues run on a slowly increasing day length - up to 30+ hours. There's been research on it, I might google around. 02:37, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the body clock. Or my alarm clock. Typical shitty student house with a terrible landlord, electricity trips out half the time and my alarm clock goes off. Oh well. 02:40, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Bi o' googlin': teenage zombies are not lazy ne’er-do-wells who won’t get out of bed, they’re made that way. In-built temporal biology means teenagers learn better later in the day, so we adults are making them go to school at times that don’t suit them. ; This is because teenagers have hormonal changes that make them sleep in later and go to sleep later than adults or young children 02:52, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I have a great book called Winston Churchill's Afternoon Nap which has a lot about sleep cycles, but not much about teenagers. All I know is I spent so much time on various "graveyard" shifts when young, I never got "normal" again, really.  And people think it is so weird to get up at noon-2 or so and go to sleep at 4-6 AM.   03:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't they just. Had the JWs round last week at 10 AM - they got short shrift from me in a short shift. 03:33, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyhow, I'm off to bed now at 3:43. JUst the cats to see to & coffee to make. Night night all. 03:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Well! I was d r a g g e d out of bed @ 8:30 & forced onto a train to Lincoln @ 10:13. Spent a month's food allowance on Stilton & books & then back on the 14:27. I'm knackered & going to bed! 15:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha! Ah, British rail. I know people are sick of Python quotes, but I do love the sketch about the train times, "Oh yes, I got the 10.13 to Lincoln and was there by a quarter to eleven!" and the like. Lincoln. Haven't been that far up north for literally about a decade. 12:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Stilton and Pie.jpg we got something out of it: that's £7.50's worth of Colston Basset & a litle pig pie (with the obligatory Branston). 12:21, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I went downstairs with the intention of making lunch, but instead I just made a nice cup of tea to cheer me up. I'm making curry tonight so get ready for that picture. It will be some exciting stuff. 12:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
