Re: niplust
Dear Punter:
Sincere aplolgies for any insult you may have felt. I was just having some fun venting. Perhaps I went a little too far.
By the way, thanks for the grammar lesson and clearing up who does the kicking and what gets kicked in football. I was just using a little poetic license.
No harm intended. Keep up the active posting.
Cheers

Your post has just proven my point about psuedo gentlemen like yourself. You misuse your education to try to ridicule and belittle people whom u think r less educated than u. This is mere intellectual snobbery and is conduct unbecoming of a true gentleman. A real gentleman appreciates his education and upbringing, and realizes that these are priveleges. There r a few gentlemen on this board, however, u r not one of them.
I don't want to get too involved in this "I am smarter than thou bullshit", but since u started it:
There r several meanings to the word 'punter'. The one u chose to point out is not the most common. A punter is most commonly known as a gambler or, as my intended meaning, is slang for a john. I guess this meaning went over your head, since u took the more simplistic meaning of punt, which is to push or kick something.
Also,u may remember from elemetary school English grammar lessons that when u append 'er' to a verb, the word becomes the subject of the verb not the object, hence a punter kicks the ball and is not kicked. Is that clear?
And if it's ok with u, I'd rather keep our flames to relvant or near relevant topics, rather than straying off to talk of my jumping off a bridge or being kicked in the head.
