Snotty most of the time.

Interesting that there is Lars who was so depressed about his answer that he felt the need to post it here - the same morning I was also about to say thanks to Guy for his very "intriguing", not to say ridiculous answer to my double album question. But obviously it is some kind of dry british humour I am missing here. I have a sentence in mind about kissing and sun and shining if you know what I mean...

No, subtle and understated - perhaps a little tongue-in-cheek.   ;)

I don't find Guy's answer rude at all.  It's just the English dry sense of humour!    ;D
absolutely, typically british, no need to feel insulted. lighten up is all i can say. he reserves his rude ones for the dumbasses that ask dmbass questions, not you guys
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

okay,

I will give him another chance then. Maybe he soon will have the honour to answer to one of my witty queries!   ;D

Sometimes a Dutchie, who I am, doesn't understand the British humour! Although I have all seasons of Fawlty Towers.. 8)

There is a programme on BBC TV, which illustrates this kind of humour pretty well, "Have I Got News For You".   I always think that Paul Merton even looks a bit like Guy!    :)

The problem with written text is there isn't any visual of the other peron and no intonation. The meaning of things are therefore quite easily lost, especially when English isn't your main language. I agree though that Guy should sometimes put more effort into his answers or let things unanswered at all.

P.S.  To save another pretty meaningless post such as this would it not be a good idea to include a "like" button/option to click if you agree with someone's opinion, such as they employ on Facebook?  If this is possible I think it would be a nice feature.

Remember "karma"  "exalt"  and "smite"  at the very beginning of this forum?   It was much the same thing and was quickly removed, thank goodness!    ::)    If anything needs to be said, have the courage, at least, to say it in words!   A "like" or "don't like" button is the lazy option and is one of the many reasons I refuse to join FB.

Just noticed the Union Jack flags banner in Guy's site (are they the Union Jack flags? I recall a discussion about it in a Doctor Who episode and I cant remember the other kind of Union flag...)
You might get lucky, now and then

Yes, noticed them this morning.   The flag is called The Union Flag, except when it is flown on a ship, then it is called The Union Jack.

Yeah! That was the conversation in Doctor Who, the Docta was talking with Rose (his companion, by Billie Piper) about it and she explained that difference, because his mother had "lot of boyfriends from the navy"

Actually never realised that that flag was a union between several flags...

Hi,

this might not exactly be the right thread, but anyway:

Guy has twittered that some news about the "incredible project" at British Grove will come up soon, and John McCusker too twittered two pics yesterday,
one with Danny, and  one with Guy and some other folk people?? Can we expect some suprise?
