Do not do a an image search with safe search turned off. Blimmen eck.

670003 2008-05-21 01:45:00 As are your PC tendencies.

On no, the PC thing. Pah! Used as a pejorative comment as a refuge for the intellectually bankrupt.

What are you two guys talking about? I did a Google search on "gumberment" and didn't get anything peculiar. As far as I know, it is a word of unknown origin that is used to denote a certain lack of respect for the apparatus of the state.

I asked SWMBO about the word (which we both use from time to time), and she thought we invented it! Obviously she is wrong (I can say that safely cos AFAIK she doesn't read this forum), but lots of people use it, and I can't find out where it came from.

What are you guys finding?

670005 2008-05-21 02:58:00 Sorry John, by catch. Murray P (44)
670006 2008-05-21 03:02:00 Oh, OK. Incidentally, I only post on this forum, so none of those other forum contributors are me under different names! John H (8)
670007 2008-05-21 03:09:00 Rrriiiiiight!

Actually, I've come across a few John Hs in my travels . Non like you though :p

As an aside, is sissy getting more prickly, or am I being overly dainty .
Murray P (44)
670008 2008-05-21 03:25:00 Sissy has always been prickly with me, so no change there! I may have unwisely pointed out in an early exchange that I was brought up in the area where he now squats, and commented that the land then was used for productive purposes, not lifestyle plots. Or it could be something else... John H (8)
