About as popular these days as a pair of flared trousers. What’s OS/2? I am just guessing a digital version of the Ordinance Survey maps perhaps?

John Wright Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 @VOICE OF REASON you need to stop this put on puzzlement/confused persona/out of touch. It’s just not acronyms, almost anything and you pretend not to know, even if context makes it abundantly clear. Its trolling. It’s like the judge doing the “Mr Wright, what is a Beatle?” thing, when he has the White Album stacked on his turntable, along with Sergeant Pepper, at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was giving benefit of the doubt, but too much reading ( and believing ) Telegraph, Mail, Express, may have addled his mind, I suppose. VoR was posting on another thread about not being offered an imperial gong. He probably has been, but didn’t understand BEM, MBE, OBE, or whatever.

Barrister: "Yes, your honour, it's a type of plant that grows on the earth" Judge: "The earth?" etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
