View Full Version : May I Explain?















Peter R

I will debate (different to argue) for the sake of the debate. I will debate on a particular line even if I do not agree with that line -for the sake of debate. I enjoy debate, as debate leads to learning and learning keeps the mind active.

I offer an open apology to all those that may have taken me too seriously, or those that are offended at my continuing a debate until I have exhausted my case.

There are many subjects and comments in this forum that I do not become involved in, neither to add to nor to detract from that persons opinion. I do not enter a post to insult the contributer, and in most cases I do what I do because it brings enjoyment to me, and even if they do not admit it, to some others. This is what I call the 'remote' syndrome - if you don't like it don't watch, read or listen, just switch it off.

Sometines I get the feeling that the comments that are directed my way are not done in jest or in mild, humourous sarcasm but in an attempt to denegrate me personally - this is sad.

There are other forums on the web, but I would sadly miss this one, however, if my presence annoys a sufficient number of you I will gladly depart.

is short and happiness hard to achieve.

dont take it too seriously peter, most of the blokes on here are just stirring you up. the "regular contributors" you will note (myself included) post quite a few notes that have nothing to do with woodwork. tongue in cheek, sarcasm, pontification etc... when you first arrived and said "why not one of us start doing the may day thing and organise a revolt..." it at least to me sounded a bit pompous. dont leave the board (Do I hear another last post brewing).

c'mon boys let peter know he's welcome!

So its you ya bastard! Just wait till I corner you with a can of Mortein. :D :D

As to Peter, come in here with a mightier than thou attitude, and you get a smack down the forehead. Enter with some trepidation, asking for help, and we'll give encouragement.
This place is a great leveller, what you receive is a direct reflection of how you act.

Now wheres my pancakes. :p

That makes me feel a lot better, you blokes lead the charge most of the time so I have mistaken you all and that makes me feel bad, but I am welcome and that makes me feel good - it is an up and down world, ain't it?http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

Now, having said that, let me say this - ozwinner and b/midge you are just too fat now, forget the pancakes will ya!? You can see the lard in the way you write, don't ask me how, it is a family secret. I am a sveltte 12.5 stone which fits well with my 5'7" of height, almost a well rounded bloke, as they say.http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

I reckon we all should...............Just joking!http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

There is not an ounce of that in me, I am mild in spirit and kind in heart, but being the little mongeral that I am, I do debate a bit, and I have asked for more help than I think I deserve.

Well girls, Now thats all cleared up here is the secret to great pancakes;

1st is the two teaspoons of milk powder in the mix.

2nd is to heat the pan for ten minutes on a gentle heat beforehand. This avoids the first olne being a dud.

Last but not least is to toss....yes lots of tossing:D . Don't buggerise around with an egg slice give the thing a good heave. Sometimes one will stick to the ceiling and the kids love it. This is food art not tiddly winks, give the damn thing a toss.

Margaret Fulton eat your heart out.:D

Peter, you should take comfort in the thought that we took the effort to have a shot back. I've been on forums where blokes are either ignored or just told to shove off. So keep on keeping this mob of wood chip bandits thinking about the real world.

As for pancakes, try them with food colouring. Green pancakes anyone?

Do I hear another last post brewing.


Better not. I was the last last post poster and I don't want my record broken. :D If anyone goes let them go quietly. :p

Peter, as I said in another post, if you ask a serious question we generally give you a serious answer with the occasional banter and witty remarks thrown in for good measure.

However on other subjects, like all of us, you are fair game and likely to get your topic highjacked. :D :D :D


Peter.

BTW It has been a long time since I've had pancakes.

What they all said too Peter, - I enjoy a good debate too and like to explore the boundaries cause you never know what you might find. ;)

And if you can't laugh at yourself with others than it's a pretty sad world. The crew here will brighten even Christopha on a bad day :eek: :D :D

Peter,

What everyone else said except Al. I don't want a beating or too be whipped. All though I probably deserve it.

I too am into a good debate. The more participants the better. A mass debate, if you like.

You are most welcome on this board. Sometimes we're not very forgiving to newbies.

I really enjoy arguing a point until I have convinced someone - then argueing againgst it. Sure I get hit a lot but it is very entertaining. So when I'm argueing don't assume I believe it.

Pancake Parlour for lunch Saterday - eggs bacon pancakes and maple syrup ..... god it is good.

That way she can retrieve it easily so she can belt you with it again
