pianostreet apology thread (as suggested by pianowolfi)

[thalbergmad]

Er - of what?

Best,

Alistair

Gibberish mainly.

Gramatically correct of course.

Thal

[ahinton]

Gibberish mainly.

Gramatically correct of course.

Thal

But whose? And from what source? What was it about, this "gibberish" of which you write but which you do not specifically identify?

Best,

[m19834]

Her sense of humour.

Thal

Hey, Thal, I just had a good idea, you are going to *love* this.  Why don't you be a dear and go scan your a**, post it here, then I can save it to a file on my computer, print it off, and hang it on the mirror as my reflection every morning, I'll take a photo of that, upload it to here, and maybe we could even start a thread with it and turn it into a man.

[thalbergmad]

I have got an even better idea. Why don't you give up piano and get a job as a dishwasher.

More appropriate for your talents and hopefully you will come home too tired to splurge your mental weaknesses and boring self analysis all over this forum.

Fortunately, I work for a printers so i will get to work on the scanning job.

My arse does not come out with half the sh*t that you do.

Thal

[ahinton]

I have got an even better idea.

You have?

Why don't you give up piano

Why should she do that?

and get a job as a dishwasher.

Whatever her talents, I imagine that she is no competition for a Miele machine...

More appropriate for your talents

Since I presume that you have not heard her play or observed her teaching, I think that you are overstepping the mark with such an unfounded assumption.

and hopefully you will come home too tired

So teaching isn't tiring, then?

Fortunately, I work for a printers so i will get to work on the scanning job.

In front of your work colleagues? How pleasant for them...

My arse does not come out with half the sh*t

Maybe your dietary régime requires some appropriate tweaking; perhaps you would be well advised to consult a clinical nutritionist.

You do have a sense of humour, Thal and it can be quite enjoyable but it is pretty clear that you've abandoned it on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Best,

Alistair

[pianowolfi]

Thal, the misogynist of the forum. As for mental weakness, that sums it up, I guess. 

[thalbergmad]

Rather predictable that Captain Cuckoo should stick his beak in.

His yodelling and alphorn have obviously evacuated his brain of oxygen.

ME A MISOGYNIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thal

[pianowolfi]

ME A MISOGYNIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thal

Yes didn't you know that? A little self analysis can be helpful at times

[ahinton]

If by this you refer to pianowolfi, he did initiate the thread, did he not?...

ME A MISOGYNIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whether or not you actually are one, you have provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that you are not above expressing yourself at times as though you are.

All those capital letters remind me of the Susanistimo whom, in one of your obviously less misogynistic moments, you claimed to miss here...

Indeed, and in days of yore, I recall great cyber-affection between thal and pianistimo.

Reading the current exchanges above, I become worried.  I see a train wreck just down the tracks.

I'd hate to see that.  Karli, Pianowolf and thal are all esteemed members of this Forum.   

Time to inject some humor here before this cranky pants fitting session turns into a flame-retardant fashion show.   

[m19834]

I have got an even better idea.

Aaaaaaaactually, no, you *clearly* do not. 

*mentally turns Thal into whipping post to unload aggression on*

Maybe that is what he is looking for 

[m19834]

Yes, yes, I know, I know.  I have female plumbing, so on and so forth.  Every guy's dream to be a whipping post, yadda yadda ... *very* creative of him ...

Thal's posts make it not at all clear that he has an interest in "female plumbing" and, as to the "so on and so forth", only he can answer about that; given certain comments already made, I would have thought that the ignore option might not be a bad idea...

Not so, in either case. I can't, of course, speak for Thal in respect of the first of these, however.

Best,

I don't waste time with it.

I am as I am and i don't give a monkeys testicle what people think of me.

Thal

*mentally turns Thal into whipping post to unload aggression on* 

I have been the "punch bag" for a few retarded women, so i guess i can be a whipping post for another.

Thal

[ahinton]

i don't give a monkeys testicle

Leaving aside the missing apostrophe from "monkey's", do you actually have any such testicles to give? If so, where did you obtain them?

Best,

Alistair

[ahinton]

I have been the "punch bag" for a few retarded women,

But did you feel you had to be so or did you have a choice? Anyway, why should the past necessarily be a blueprint for the future?

so i guess i can be a whipping post for another.

Up to you, dear boy, up to you - though quite what pianistimo would say about that I have no idea...

Best,

Alistair

[thalbergmad]

But did you fell you had to be so or did you have a choice

I do not recall felling i had to be so.

Thal

[olga_janina]

I apologise for finding this thread quite hilarious!   

[thalbergmad]

I apologise for finding this thread quite hilarious!   

I am glad you do, but i could do with a bit of support.

I am under attack by a Russian stick insect with a moustache, a Swiss cuckoo clock collector who wears leather shorts and a wine loving Scot with a thesaurus stuck up his arse.

Thal

[olga_janina]

It could be worse. You could be under attack from a wine-loving Swiss stick insect with a moustache, who wears leather shorts and has a thesaurus stuck up their arse.

How comes you know me? 

[ahinton]

I am glad you do, but i could do with a bit of support.

Then we'll have to do a forum survey to see if any member possesses sufficiently well developed biceps, triceps, quadriceps and any other non-mushroomy ceps to enable them to give you such support...

I think that after you made the comments about your own a**e and your proposals to scan it in front of your workmates for the dubious benefit of anyone who might be invited to see the results, you are less than ideally placed to pronounce upon what anyone else whom you have never met might have stuck up theirs, frankly; that said, you should perhaps think yourself fortunate that you now believe yourself to be under attack from these sources (even thought that belief is, of course, wholly unfounded) rather than being the "whipping post" as which you appeared to see yourself a mere few hours ago.

Go practise the banjo for abit; maybe that will make you feel abit better.

[thalbergmad]

I am too busy browsing the Piano Concerto of Schurmann, but frustratingly i cannot find a recording.

It does not appear that John Ogdon's premier was ever recorded. Perhaps it was, but never released.

Thal

[go12_3]

My  apologizes to the  great and esteemed Mr. Hinton. (go12_3 hurries around kitchen slices up apples and rolls out the pie dough, puts in the oven and while the aroma fills the room Mr. Hinton enters.....Go hands him a warm piece for as truce.........(sigh)

How kind! There is an expression on the English side of the pond "apple pie order", which means everything fine and in its place. Apple pie has other significances on the other side of said pond, I believe. Anyway, for a more conprehensive response, I refer you to the "Sexiest..." thread.

Perhaps I simply needed to create a particular opportunity for myself, or rather, I saw one and I took it  .

[thalbergmad]

My  apologizes to the  great and esteemed Mr. Hinton.

If he was offended he would have pointed out your spelling errors.

Thal

[ahinton]

If he was offended he would have pointed out your spelling errors.

What makes you think that I might do that as a direct consequence of being offended? - and what makes you think that I was offended in any case?

For the record, incidentally, I seek and need no "apology" and am not "great" but it is nice to be "esteemed" even if, as in my case, such esteem is almost certainly undeserved.

Best,

Alistair

[m19834]

For the record, although you and I have never met, you have heard almost three hours of what I'm about

Best,

Alistair

Which, I am listening to at the precise moment, as a matter of fact.

[thalbergmad]

Wow, you didn't buy that old rubbish did you.

Perhaps you downloaded the freebie on the mule.

Thal

[ahinton]

Wow, you didn't buy that old rubbish did you.

What "old rubbish" is that?

How "old" is it?

By what standards and parameters are you seeking to describe something (which you nevertheless do not actually identify) as "rubbish" of whatever alleged vintage or none?

Why would you concern yourself with what K or anyone else might have bought?

Why did you omit the question mark at the end of what appears to be a question, rhetorical or otherwise?

Perhaps you downloaded the freebie on the mule.

Which freebie of what on which mule?

Lots of questions, I know, but it's entirely your own fault that a scenario has been set up for such questions to be asked...

Best,

Alistair

[thalbergmad]

Why don't you bog off?

[ahinton]

Why don't you bog off?

Whatever that putative and/or rhetorical question may mean, if anything (to you, if anyone), I may just as well ask you why you wonder (a) if K bought unidentified "rubbish" and (b) whether she "downloaded" a similarly unidentified "freebie" on an equally unidentified and unreferenced "mule"...

Best,

Alistair

[thalbergmad]

Can anyone translate the above please?

I have temporarily lost my "Hinglish" book.

Thal

[ahinton]

Can anyone translate the above please?

I have temporarily lost my "Hinglish" book.

You don't need nuffink like that kind of book (not that one such exists, of course) to understand "the above"; the questions were, very simply
1. What was the specific "rubbish" to which you referred?
2. What qualifies it as "rubbish" and, whatever it is, is it "rubbish" to all here or just to you?
3. Why ask K if she purchased whatever this "rubbish" supposedly is?
4. Why ask K is she downloaded something that you've not identified from a source (a "mule") that you also omit to identify?

I do hope that "the above" questions are now phrased simply enough for you both to understand them and to answer them intelligibly and meaningfully for the benefit of the c.-2.3 forum members that might be interested in either your understanding of them or your answers to them or (if we're being really optimistic) both.

Furthermore, you, of all people, with your immensely developed Hay-on-Wyemanship, should be better disciplined than most in terms of your presumed ability to look after your doubtless fascinating collection of books so that the risk of temporarily mislaying any one of them is minimised...

Best,

Alistair

[shortyshort]

I believe that Sir Humphrey is at it again. 

[ahinton]

Which, I am listening to at the precise moment, as a matter of fact.

Some might think you to be something of a glutton for punishment in so doing! I 'umbly 'ope otherwise...

In the meantime, it might just be that our resident representative of the Thaliban is not entirely certain of what it is to which you're listening...

Best,

Alistair

[thalbergmad]

I believe that Sir Humphrey is at it again. 

Yeh, i have no idea what he is rattling on about tonight.

Thal

[ahinton]

I believe that Sir Humphrey is at it again. 

At what? The Calvados? (this being, as doubtless you know, a beverage based upon the Apple by those French who make it).

Anyway, to whom is your remark intended to be directed? - Karli? Thal? someone else?...

Best,

Alistair

[shortyshort]

Why don't you bog off?

[ahinton]

Well, yes, you do on your own admission (both tacit and otherwise) seem to be pretty bereft of ideas of most kinds at the moment; never mind - have a beer or six (I said six - note the sole vowel), play a few scales on the banjo, scan the full scores of a handful of obscure 19th century piano concerti from your unique library and take some more photographs of yourself for the delectation of members of this forum and I'm sure you'll feel better.

Best,

Alistair

[ahinton]

You seem to be almost as bereft of ideas as Thal right now, since you now quote a post from him without apparently feeling up to the task of commenting upon it. How sad?! Terrible effects this recession can have on some, n'est-ce pas?...

Best,

Alistair

[thalbergmad]

Hmm, lets hope he has sobered up by the morning.

Thal

[ahinton]

Perhaps Thal' s intention is to deliver reasons for himself that he can later apologize for, as there was not much of such material there in the first place, in this thread
