POINTLESS THREAD III: ESCAPE FROM RAPTOR MOUNTAIN AGAIN
Jimmy the Squid:
Also your apology was couched in overly aggressive terms. The entire tone of the majority of your posts seems to lean towards hostility and negativity. You're overly confrontational and almost always a chore to have to converse with. Which is a shame because you appear to have really valuable opinions and the content of your posts is almost always appreciated. If you constantly think the worst of everyone you come into contact with I can't imagine you're having a good time, most of the time. Don't ascribe to malevolence what can easily be ascribed to stupidity, or in this case, a simple misunderstanding.

That is a very fair criticism, and as a person with English as a second language myself, I should know better. :-( I'm sorry Mr. Doctor.

Had these two nights in a row on some thick slices of reduced bread, it was pretty delicious. But I wouldn't recommend it for two years. Buy some dry pulses (less than £1 a bag, some less than 50p), some chopped tomatoes (33p), tomato puree (50p), seasoning (50p) and you've got yourself about 4 dinners right there, for lets say £4. But you can use them for another 8-12 dinners, meaning that £4 equates from £1 a meal initially to 33 pence a meal in the long run, and its nutritious!
Next time on Dinner with Lupercal: how to turn those dried on bits of cereal still in the bowl into a tasty, refreshing snack!

I think there are some arachnophobes here? I'll hide this just to be safe.

Like all the jokes related to races and immigrants I make all the time (while being an immigrant myself)... I make a lot of jokes against chileans.Makes all my swedish friends so uncomfortable. :-D

No harm done, Akima. I'm just glad that I understood why you got pissed off and viceversa... In the end it was just a misunderstanding.
Cheers :)
