Indeed you need Class A drugs for that

I think you're missing the point, it's very easy to get rid of it, but that doesn't make it funny or less annoying on an aesthetic level - just like a five year old running around a supermarket shouting "poo" is easy to ignore, but still gives you the urge to kick the little shit's head in. If it's something genuinely funny then I'm all for it, but when the whole joke is that you've edited wikipedia in the first place and your hilarious contribution consists of some juvenile crap that would fall on its arse in any other context, it's just irritating.

Aye, I'd be laughing.

I'd be taking him to one side and giving him a better vocab so he could run around switching to "Jobby" or "Kaka" or "Dung" or "Keech" or "Toley".

Whatever works at the time

'Joe me laddy'?

Addy · 25th November 2007, 4:38pm

Look at the time of that post

Back on track Jukka Santala's is good

Real question: what exactly is wrong with my having a wikipedia user page? I know its shite and needs a hell of a lot of work, but is there anything specifically wrong with the principle?

Syxx · 25th November 2007, 11:00pm

I believe the words i used was 'pretentious fuck'.

Addy · 25th November 2007, 11:02pm

Yep, without a reason why it's pretentious. I semi-regularly edit Wikipedia, so I've a little showcase of my interests and what I'm wanting to work on there. Problem?

Same reason the Revised Oxford Dictionary doesn't come with a 38 volume "about the authors" set i'd imagine?

Unless you think that in 300 years time there will be an equally exciting version of Balderdash & Piffle on BBC 45,004 where you'll possibly be noted as "the first person to use the word/phrase...."

Yeah, not as respectful to a majestic animal as making shoes, trousers, belts, jackets or hats out of them.
