Human beings

[Steve]

I have decided after a lot of thought over the last few months, that I hate human beings, I don't mind one or two individuals but the majority can go **** themselves.

cheers

Steve

[Malcolm G]

That sounds like a reasonable and understandable point of view.
Unfortunately we have to have them to do things..
I suppose other humans can be useful, one does not have to like them, just appreciate their input.

[BobClay]

....... also, they taste horrible. You have to use very strong mustard.

[Makko]

Try the Peasant crisps. Bob!

And copious pints of Guinness.

[Malcolm G]

There was me thinking that this was about interpersonal relationships.
And you lot turn it into a discussion of the most suitable relish or accompaniment for Long Pig.

Perhaps I misunderstood, that's not unusual.

Dear Landsman,

I am a human being, one that has many flaws; mild schizophrenia, mild to moderate dyslexia, at the lower end of the autistic spectrum and a complete arsehole but unlike your good self I am not Mad.

[Malcolm G]

Woof woof.

NO ?

Well we're going to need an official certificate as proof of this. (And I'm not talking about something typed up in the back kitchen.)

I told my psychiatrist that everybody hated me but he told me I was just being paranoid as I hadn't met everybody yet

I have to agree with Steve, 99.9% of the population are fuckwits

That is a matter of opinion dear boy, anybody from Norn Iron is universally regarded with suspicion, myself included. After a lifetime in Harland and Wolff one is positively certifiable

[Malcolm G]

When I saw a psychiatrist around 15 or so years ago she assured me that I was quite normal...... compared to her colleagues.
But, when I was working, one of my own colleagues mentioned more than once; "You're not like normal people are you?"
So I just work to the worse case scenario and it can only improve, maybe.

I'm beginning to think this website attracts misfits and nerr-do-wells. I'm going to go off it for Lent. Indeed a period of Self Isolation may be the very treatment I need.

[BobClay]

I went to a shrink once and told him I thought I had an inferiority complex.

He replied: "I can't think why you insignificant little worm."

Cost me fifty quid that did.

When deep-Sea one was never sure; certificated, certified or both.

[Tmac1720]

you and me both my friend, as the old saying goes "you don't have to be mad to work here but it helps"

Certifiable.

The word you are looking for is "Certifiable."

You can be certain of that.

I imagined you might be exempt on account of your age (the upper limit, you understand, not the lower).

[BobClay]

They say wisdom comes with age.

(Who are these 'they' people ? ... and what f****** planet are they off ?)

[Engine Serang]

F*** and BOLLI****** and Asterix (asterix'es), in general will get you into hot, and indeed deep, water with our sister ship. We, I hope, are a bit more understanding of human frailties and I only wish Mr BY would give us a Learn'ed Opinion.

[Varley]

True. Those on this planet say it is incontinence, but fortunately we can't hear the ungrateful bastards saying it any longer.

[BobClay]

I seem to remember getting a slap on the wrist for using a '1' for an 'i' in a certain four letter word that describes excreted brown matter, thinking I might bypass the bad word discomnobulator.

At the time I wondered if any of these people had ever been on a ship !! .... or were they too busy getting a new silver spoon transplanted into their gobs.

We will pardon your Gaul. Re: our bard. Agreed.

[Engine Serang]

OK, ASTERISK.
Please excuse my spelling. My Spellchecker is a pirate version bought in Nicaragua. Some pensioners cannot afford MS Word UK/IOM edition.

[Varley]

Of course. I do understand the market place. The IoM edition is just as difficult to get hold of as that for Hiberian Hieroglyphs or should that be Runix/Runicees?
