For shame.

It's terrible when a Guilfordian space docker is mocked by his fellow countrymen.

Isn't it?
I also got mocked for explaining that my name means "Manly supplanter/wrongdoer" or, as I like to think of it "Badass motherfucker".

Apparently I do not have the physical presence to carry it off.

I seem to spend a lot of my time being mocked, as it happens.

I heard some cyclists mocked you just the other day.

I guess I'm going to have to knock a few more of them off their bikes, then.
Ho hum.

Goodness yes it would, wouldn't it? As in 'martial' and the god Mars.
Never thought of that before.

I've met a few Martins in my time.
None of them have seemed particularly violent.

Same here, actually
It's not a popular name. Or, indeed, a good name. I hate it. I did try looking up yours, based on definition, but there are too many variants and I lost interest extremely quickly.

Andrew
from the Greek "Andros". My middle name is James, if you're interested. I believe that's Hebrew.

Oh, I was coming up with Jacob and variants upon it
Based on the "supplanter" part. Well done there. Two decent names. You have my envy.

My third name is James, after my grandfather, and Hendrix, obv.
God this is interesting.

Do you own waterproof trousers?

(, Thu 14 Jul 2011, 9:43, Reply)
Damn right I do.
I have different grades of waterproofing to suit different moisture levels.

For example, for mild precipitation I favour the lightweight 'Peter Storm' brand, found in most top-end branches of 'Milletts' - for the more advanced conditions I tend to plump for waders. Where do you stand on this issue? And Vippers, what say you?

Third name?
How many have you got? Is there enough room on the internet for the full list?
(, Thu 14 Jul 2011, 9:45, Reply)
Same middle name as me!

And me!
What are the chances

OMG!
We should start a club, we could call it the "We All Have a Really Common Name Club" club!

I've never seen anything of Facebook other than screenshots posted on here.
I'm guessing a 'group' is where a bunch of tossers all sign up to 'I think teh NOTW is bad LOL' and then they all hang around in it agreeing with each other. But this is a guess.
(, Thu 14 Jul 2011, 10:07, Reply)
Pretty much spot on.
The funniest ones are the racist groups who ban anyone who disagree with them about how it's all the immigrants fault. And they get really upset if you criticise their spelling.

If I could be arsed I'd create an account simply for 'LOL' purposes.
I could have funn doing that, I suspect.

'Have the 'asylum seekers' stolen your ability to spell, as well as all the jobs in your area? It seems so'

Oh, no, not at all
These groups are a forum for philosophical discussion. The standards of intellectual debating are closely monitored and rigorously maintained. If the mods feel the standard is slipping the worst offenders are ejected, for the intellectual betterment of all.

So basically it's like a digital-age Royal Academy? I see, I see.

Exactly so
The name is only different for reasons of copyright
(, Thu 14 Jul 2011, 10:23, Reply)
Exactly so, Herr Boyce
Obviously my general demeanour just screams "hard case" so most people don't bother working out the etymology
