More people in the world say Mathematic as opposed to what you say I’m afraid, but I’m sure you know what it means and maybe you should consider that some people might develop their knowledge of that subject beyond a brief acquaintance with it in their first school. Actually, I’m old enough that some of the teachers in my Grammar School insisted that the word “shown” was spelled “shewn”,and would smack you on the head for using the word “nice” to mean anything except “exact”, but I’ve probably moved on a bit since then.

I spoke very differently then too and thought London was a long way. I’d not yet spoken with three US Presidents and two British P.Ms, obtained a doctorate from Oxford or lots of other stuff which wasn’t centred in Tonypandy. Thus I’m a different person now in many ways and I’m terribly sorry if you don’t like that.

Hey, I’ve read your football blog, so it’s odd to hear you accusing me of verbosity or ineffective use of language,but again that’s okay.

No, I’m not going to try and have a technical or philosophical debate with SOME people here ( not you ), who don’t know the difference between a simile and a banjo and think the Magna Carta is a kind of ice cream bar but I’ve tried to tempt them into thinking about stuff a bit. Can’t do more I’m afraid.


You obviously don’t like any of this stuff or the fact that not everyone is quite like you. Not my fault I’m sorry and I honestly think that’s your prejudice not mine. Bottom line is that this is why it’s naive of me to attempt certain conversations here and that’s entirely my fault because I should have learned to accept that years ago.

Trouble is you see that if no one had ever drawn me into the wonderful possibilities of this huge world then I’d definitely still be in the same limited and localised mindset, and so I’ll risk upsetting people as long as there are those who’ll use the lifeline.
Again, although your superiority complex shines through, it’s just plenty of words, with
nothing said. If you’ve really met all of those Presidents and Prime Ministers, you’d have hoped they’d passed more on to you than a right wing check list, so you can all say exactly the same things.
