Probably people who think that they are some how less of a geek than the rest of us on here
Simply by virtue of being cunty on a regular basis, to my mind this makes them just as geeky with an extra helping of not being very nice.

Lunch: Povo Quorn curry, technically payday was yesterday but I'm being good and not starting spending it till tomorrow. there is a logic to that that only makes sense to me.

This makes no sense
for example, I do not like: star wars, computer building/fixing etc/ sci-fi, fantasy novels (shudder), discworld etc etc these are all signs of the geek and I am not in anyway interested

True to some extent...my point was there are LARPers on here for gods sake!
Although I did watch an interesting program about the elements last night

Labs does too?
I did not realise, well he's hardly on any more.

Well he did at least one time
because he ran into a small BBQ and cut his leg open and cried like a girl.

He was in a negative space that day I tell you

This is all english, but I'm not sure what it means.
Oh well, anyway, you win, LARPers plural.

You are not, however, unremittingly cunty and superior.
Also it may shock you too learn that not every one on here likes all those things either. I'll grant you most people probably like some of them. I myself am indifferent to all but one of those, although Ill admit to having participated in most.

Statements of fact are hardly insulting.
You'll be calling me a lefty bike rider next

Edit: although I should probably take exception to the word trollop, but then it's your funeral.

Not really.
I'm a vegetarian if that helps, although not a very good one.

I am categorically less of a geek than a lot of people on here by simple virtue of being useless with computers
Nonetheless I am still an arch geek, and probably one of the nicest people most of you will ever virtually meet

Well except Chompy. Apparently Al's really lovely. I can never understand this.
(, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:16, Reply)
Al can be really funny on here, but he does have a habit of taking things to a too personal level

He is very different in real life.

Yes it is
I really don't work in IT, I'm in telecoms, and my job really doesn't involve more than a passing knowledge of how even telecoms works.

I'm glad telecommunications doesn't involve computers then

I know this doesn't make a lot of sense really
My job is effectively reporting and troubleshooting. I only need to be able to use Outlook, Excel and Visio to do it - I think this maintains my "useless with computers" status.

Visio is hard to use
You gain one internet geek point for this

Fuck yeah!
That brings me to a new grand total of one!

It's hard to use WELL. Swim lanes and that aren't so difficult, that's all I can manage thus far.
