I mainly use the netbook to make bookings and for research. I use it to determine where I want to go, when I want to go and what I want to see. It is preferable to carrying all the information around with me all the time, like having various guide books, airline information, tourist info and the many other things when away a person needs to look in to or sort out. If I was having a week in Benidorm it would be different. In travelling around India for example I don't arrange everything or most everything beforehand. I arrange the first day or two and then make my mind up as I go along. I am fickle. I like to be flexible and change plans on a whim. I also use it to back up my photos, keep in touch with my family and least importance of all is to keep up to date with forums. It is used for that at the end of a long list of other things. It is no more than a tool.
And you certainly know about being a tool.

I so knew that posting "your insecurities and obsessions.." would get your goat up and elicit a decent reply!
Bookings and research are done before you f uck off somewhere, isn't it?
Where ever I go I don't have all that Guff - I just print off my travel details; stick it in the bag and away.
I really do not believe your Bull S hit as regards "In travelling around India for example I don't arrange everything or most everything beforehand. I arrange the first day or two and then make my mind up as I go along." (Bearing in mind you have agreed that you use your many Tools for 'Bookings and research'?..
I think that you 'research' a lot like almost all of us but you still feel the need to take a Tablet/Lappie/IPad because even on Holiday you feel the need to make contact with various Forums; fluff your feathers out, and say "Hey! Look at where I am!"
I've seen your boring pictures on here and only 1 or 2 are worth Posting, in my opinion.
You are a Slave to New Technology. Admit it.

I so knew that posting "your insecurities and obsessions.." would get your goat up and elicit a decent reply! You should have been a psychologist. It would have been pleasant when I did my thesis for us to compare notes. I could also correct your mistaken hypothesis and erroneous conclusions. Bookings and research are done before you f uck off somewhere, isn't it? As stated, the first day or two yes. The rest is done on the road. Where ever I go I don't have all that Guff - I just print off my travel details; stick it in the bag and away. Woopy doo. Aren't you a minimalist hero. Stretching the envelope of organisation to cut out any extraneous paperwork. I applaud your courage and path-finding/trail-blazing through the forest of travel permutations. You must be so certain in your arrangements that flexibility is not necessary, considered or thought of. In other words you stick to your guns and even in the face of new information you refuse to change. Would that happen to be theme running through your life at all? I really do not believe your Bull S hit as regards "In travelling around India for example I don't arrange everything or most everything beforehand. I arrange the first day or two and then make my mind up as I go along." (Bearing in mind you have agreed that you use your many Tools for 'Bookings and research'?.. As stated and to repeat myself, I organise the first day or two and then use my netbook to organise the rest as I go along. If necessary to get the message across to you I can repeat this arrangement for the third, or is it the fourth, time. I understand the concept of only making a few arrangements and then making the rest later maybe somewhat difficult for you to grasp. It probably does bear repeating ad infinitum for your benefit. I think that you 'research' a lot like almost all of us but you still feel the need to take a Tablet/Lappie/IPad because even on Holiday you feel the need to make contact with various Forums; fluff your feathers out, and say "Hey! Look at where I am!" Please see my first answer in this post. Or do you want me to repeat that as well? Maybe better if I did but just say the word if it is too confusing for you. I've seen your boring pictures on here and only 1 or 2 are worth Posting, in my opinion. Let me stop you before you go any further......... You seem to be under the impression that I value your opinion. You are a Slave to New Technology. Admit it. I knew I'd have to repeat it again......... Please see my first answer in this post. I'll give you credit for being able to string a coherent sentence together, albeit interspersed with capital letters and confusing spacing between it and others, but as for drawing conclusions about motivations and predictions of the type of response, you are strictly an amateur. Provoking a reply you are reasonably skilled at but generally it's on the level of a small child repeatedly asking for an ice cream. Irritating and sometimes easier to reply/buy one, than suffer it continuing. You are a simple, blunt tool which has its uses but as time goes on is less and less effective. Interacting with you is a pleasant diversion at times from normal conversations though. P.s. If you want to learn anything about arrogance and condescension, I'm your man.

I just clicked on this thread and I confess that I didn't understand it. I read this last page and knew that I was not getting any substance out of it, so I went back to the first page, and I still don't understand what the subject is.
Yes, I am very stupid. But I do not intend to read the other pages to figure it all out.
In two sentences max, can somebody explain it to me?

I have tried to make some sense of it too but have difficulty when you seemingly on purpose provoke and bait people in such an ugly way. What do you get out of it? I think Mark's analogy of the child demanding an ice cream etc. may just nail it down. I know you can be more reasonable and civilized. Why all the vitriol Grecian? For the record, I like you and would rather see the less angry side of you more often. Give it some thought please.

When Grecian came to stay with us I asked him why he behaved like he did on the Pot (or TTR as it was). He seemed taken aback at having to explain. After some thought he said it was because people expected it of him. Alas, he is right. we do expect he will behave like this. That is different from saying that we like it. I seldom come on Flushed because of the rudeness which he confuses with wit, and the mock swearing which he thinks makes his posts more lively and interesting. Is it too late to change?

Quixote, nice to see you here from time to time, anyway, young Master Grecian is apparently in real life a quite reasonable human being. So I'm told. I have no experience of him in that respect but I wouldn't be surprised if there are times when his forum persona bleeds through inadvertently. I have a mental picture of him being somewhat like Baloo, but prone to a foul mouth and bad moods.

On the travel thing Mark we now take a tablet to do the research along the way (this is big dealish for us as I normally wing it) In saying that all of Africa except around Cape Town is pre booked which is a big change for our travelling style.

I've found out that even if I order something from the UK it can't be delivered to Spain because of airline restrictions on transporting hazardous goods. I presume they mean the battery in it.

I would think that his behavior which clearly alienates people from wanting to engage and interact with him must be a very lonely and miserable existence. It's kind of like a wounded animal syndrome.

This Thread - 'Above Ground' - was my attempt to point out to you lot what utter s hite you Post above, bearing in mind I have no access to it. If just 1 of my Posts on here makes some Poster just sit back and think that they have Posted some useless s hite Up There then it has served it's purpose.
Flushed is here for a reason - I do believe it was actually set up because of my Postings above?
As you may well have gathered, I really don't go out of my way to schmooze and curry favo(u)r with any F ucker on the Internet and will say it as I see it - whether I am Friends with them in Real Life or not.
Some of the sycophantic Clap Trap Posted above is cringeworthy and I hope you are happy with it.
I Post to either be informative, amusing or to cause a reaction - I think I mainly do that?
I certainly caused a reaction in Only Mark, above!
Everyone i've ever met via TT, OPIAS and here have been great - was there 1 in between? - and I must single out Mr & Mrs Baz for such a great time in France (He really can cook!)
It's just the way I am on Forums that are so remote from Real Life.
Loads of you take Forums waaaaay too seriously and if you started being yourselves on said Forums then maybe they would be more interesting cos at the moment, you lot just agree with each other even when you know they have Posted some s hite!
Oh well, Happy Easter (Bit Late) and have a great time in your Summer Holidays..
I apologise for the late reply but I had to go to the Doctor as I had a piece of lettuce lodged up my back passage...I asked him if it was serious...he said "It doesn't look too bad but it might be the tip of the iceberg"!
Keep on asking questions of me and i'll try to reply to them, honestly.

Can you remember the Tommy Cooper joke a while back and the poll I did? About breaking something and not going back? I recently came across this -
"I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places; he told me to quit going to those places. Henny Youngman (1906 – 1998) English-born American comedian"
That was about it, wasn't it? I wonder who said it first then.

You Post about 180 Boring Pictures, with explanations beneath them on how boring they are, and only about 2 are worth looking at...
You carry on Bigging yourself up on here and i'll keep shooting you down for being an Arrogant Twat..

I've just noticed your "Last Edit" entries. They are the best bit of your posts. By the way, have you got your name down yet for a liver transplant? By the sound of your posts tonight I think you're working your way quickly to needing one.

What was the topic of your thesis Grecian? Were you a psychology major? Perhaps you may have learned about the defense known as "projection", no? I ask because you seem to be so proficient with your projections onto others.
Oh, I am highly amused by your "editorials" at the bottom of your posts. Clever lad you are.

Cheers for that, Quickxotty! Like I said above, I do my best to amuse if I can't be informative or cause a reaction.
Have I ever said, anywhere, that I have ever done a Thesis - apart from, maybe, in jest? The best I did was writing a 2,000 word Paper on the intricacies of an Ox Bow Lake!
I assume from your Mocking (Jay?) Post above you are 'into' Psychology? If so, tell me something I don't know, eh?
'Projection' to me is something that happens in a Cinema or an Actor/ess on stage.
I really do think that YOU think too much and, eventually, come up with the wrong answers.
Only (No)Mark! You spotted that i'd got back from sitting out on the terrace at The Grove in Exmouth in full sunshine overlooking the Nature Reserve Dawlish Warren having pouched some rather nice Exmoor Stag and Young's Special - Well done!
Back On Topic!
Those 3 'Stickies' Above Ground are still there and the last reply was March 19th - Time to get shot of.

It seems I just missed you by minutes on here.
Anyway, the reference to your thesis in Psychology: On April 9 ( not too many days ago, which has me a wee bit concerned about your memory) you posted in a lengthy reply to Only Mark,"you should have been a psychologist. It would have been pleasant when I did my thesis for us to compare notes". From that I surmised you wrote a thesis in psychology. I do have a background in psychiatry. "projection" is a defense mechanism that is very common. It's kind of like a "you spot it, you got it". Projecting thoughts, ideas,emotions, behavior that you yourself exhibit onto someone else. It's basic psychology 101.
You are absolutely correct in telling me that I think too much. I need that pointed out to me more often. Thank you for perceiving that Grecian.

Oh what a shame it was, but a few minutes!
Now that is where you assume wrongly, Don..or, indeed, making things up?
April the 9th's Posts are on this page and I really can't see where i've Posted "you should have been a psychologist. It would have been pleasant when I did my thesis for us to compare notes"
Now i've looked 3 times but I still can't find it. Can you, please, direct me to where I Posted that, pretty please?
I do believe that with your "background" in Psychiatry- no Majors or PhD's? Did you just 'do it' in School? - you could well add 2 and 2 together and get Pi...
The thing is that you know F uck All/Very Little about me and yet you offer assumptions.
You are like sooooo many people who Wanks over Freud and Jung...Everyone is so different.
I think that Tim Crow would have a field day with me, bless him!

"Waitrose sells French guinea fowl that are free range (you can always tell they can run outside because the legs darken from the exercise). So we'll have that roasted with potatoes and some sugar snap peas. Also I have a piece of hot smoked salmon which will make a good starter with some salady stuff. For dessert there is some cake from the freezer, though I don't know its origin."
You seem to have Starters, Main AND Dessert all the time, Baz..
