Rather like a dog walking the streets and having a pee on every lamp-post as it can't walk past one, except that is endless dribble. On here it is the same but endless repetitive drivel.

I don't even read the first one. I haven't got the patience to figure out what they're trying to get across.

Re: Long posts in threads

I think long posts show people are motivated and still have their marbles. I have a head full of ideas but when I've written more than a few sentences I tend to forget what the hell the point was I was trying to make .

That's true Meg. So is your last paragraph.

Re: Long posts in threads

Hi

To each their own, different posters, different styles.

One liners are Ace sometimes, sometimes not.

Corbyn/Cameron is a prat springs to mind.

I like to know why people think like that.

I always double space my posts, habit of a lifetime in Enforcement, I will never change.

Forty odd years of preparing documents which could end up in Court.

Such is life, but I must admit I do like the pithy one liners.

This will make the post longer in pixels/cm/inches anyway.
