As soon as twin taps were vthe norm for some reaosn sonmeone decided that the right hand more often than not wanted the cold tap Prior to that the cold tap was generally either central or in an random corner -- Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as foolish, and by the rulers as useful.

On Sun, 16 Dec 2018 13:20:25 +1100, cantankerous trolling geezer Rot Speed,
the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Because you had enough of a clue to work out how to use animal skins and eventually to invent clothes. even our Neanderthal cousins didn't. They arent your cousins. And they died out and are only now seen playing rubgy football. NOW this thread has finally reached the level that makes the Scottish ****** wank off to it, you brain dead senile suckers of troll cock! tsk |

Lonely Psychotic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert! LOL
On Sun, 16 Dec 2018 13:11:26 +1100, cantankerous trolling geezer Rot Speed,
the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Since they put on clothes to keep the ice and snow out? So we're born indecent? That doesn't make sense whether you believe in god or evolution. Wrong with evolution. Huh? If we needed clothes we'd be born with them on. Must be why are born with cars around us, houses etc. I hope you idiots don't mind if I make a record again of your latest retarded "conversation", you ****ed up retards! Keep going! LOL -- Another retarded "conversation" between Birdbrain and senile Rot: Senile Rot: " Did you ever dig a hole to bury your own ****?" Birdbrain: "I do if there's no flush toilet around." Senile Rot: "Yeah, I prefer camping like that, off by myself with no dunnys around and have always buried the ****." MID: |

Troll-feeding Senile IDIOT Alert!
On Sun, 16 Dec 2018 03:11:09 GMT, Johnny B Good, another brain dead,
troll-feeding, senile idiot, blathered: upside down. "Standards". The nice thing about 'standards' is that there are so many to choose from. At one time, there was Oh, no! Another troll-feeding senile idiot who feels the need to tell the troll and everyone else about his long life! BG |

Troll-feeding Senile IDIOT Alert!
On Sun, 16 Dec 2018 03:22:32 GMT, Johnny B Good, another brain dead,
troll-feeding, senile idiot, blathered: I've been banned from forums for less. I've used even stronger acronyms such as GIYF! The pling (or bang) completely changes the meaning (and more importantly, the tone) of the more usual GIYF :-) Oh, my! What a bunch of lonely blithering idiots! Hey, senile idiot, you need to **** off to some ng made specifically for driveling seniles! tsk |

I think you'd notice when you saw all the traffic light bulbs looking identical. You're not safe to drive if you can't tell red from green.
