the stinking enigma Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 it was the spitting image song "i've never met a nice south african" that made me take any notice of apartheid. i don't think roger is advocating a semitic equivalent, and rightly so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To even equate the democratic nation-state of Israel to apartheid South Africa is to show you are an idiot and have no clue. Was that "you" meant to read "one". If not you are clearly losing the plot fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sentence wouldn't make grammatical sense if you replaced "you" with "one"; although certainly when I said "you" I meant the universal person, not specifically Stinking Enigma personally. It is a figure of speech, similar to saying "one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llap Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 To be fair, Chinahand is an absolute toss pot / government shill (anxiously awaiting some government contracts for his new business ) so he is well deserving of any insult. But no, it wasn't aimed at him or anyone else specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find The Wall particularly irritating - grandiose and unsubtle, it seems to completely lack nuance - political only a very sort of 6th form way and musically dull.

Oh LLAP you are so unimaginative. The new job, the old job and my entire life has nothing whatsoever to do with the manx, or any other, government. Now whether I'm a toss pot or not ... well that's a subjective opinion ... so ya boo to you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I find musicians or any other "celebrities" labouring under the misapprehension that their status as such means that others should give a toss about their political opinions totally laughable.

Gilmore always seemed like a good guy though. I find their music improved immensely once Waters went off like a child in a tantrum and David Gilmour became the main driving force.
