Jay Wolf mocks John Wallace

Jay Wolf started a thread mocking John Wallace for his long arguments in the Avault review debate. Several regulars defended Wallace's contributions, Wallace replied with a joke, and the thread drifted into Braveheart, Monty Python and Scottish-accent banter.

...and i really like beating dead horses. "the avault review ruined my life!"
Wow... The incisive wit of a seven year-old in the playground. I suppose you'll be calling John a gaylord next? Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

It's not John's fault if it takes 100 posts for people to understand certain issues. P.S. It's not very polite to post messages about specific people, especially someone like John Wallace who has contributed so much quality time and effort to this newsgroup and many other sim related sites and projects.

Jay Wolfe wrote John.. That is seriously your job ? ;-) Seriously, I doubt somebody with the experience and knowledge like John do such things. I mean, I know few people who brought more fun and opinions here than him. The quality of his arguments is excellent and I wish I could do the same with mines ;-) It must be the British accent !

I've seen Braveheart a couple of times. I remember John clubbing and axing many a Englishman. However, I don't remember any battles with a horse. FREEDOM!!!!! Cheers, Jim > ...and i really like beating dead horses. > "the avault review ruined my life!"

The only problem I have with John is that he still hasn't realized that I'm ALWAYS right. :-) David G Fisher >...and i really like beating dead horses. >"the avault review ruined my life!"

at least he isn't above taking a few good-natured jabs!

Hi Ymenard, >It must be the British accent ! Dodgy ground there, John is Scottish, and has a great soft Scottish accent not British, as you have differences in Canada with French and non-french speaking/differences/cultures etc. We here in the United Kingdom have four main different cultures, English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish. All have their own language, cultures and accents, some there own law and government, collectively we are British but there is no such thing as a British accent ;-)) I won't bore you with too much detail but the English are further split by Northerners and Southerners, Northerners are further split into Geordies, Yorkshireman etc. etc. Hehe sorry about the lesson, but as you can see we are actually a very multi cultural nation, not to mention numerous other cultures within such as Asian, West Indian etc. etc. Oh BTW I have a LAN party with John and a few others at the weekend, does this mean that we have to have a dead horse in the corner for John to keep beating?? Best apologise to John lest he turn up at your place wearing a kilt and showing you and your neighbours exactly what Scotsman don't wear under it ;-) Take Care Mark :-) Tenid Blackrat

Mark Fisher and I wrote... Ah oops ;-) . My apologies for such a ignorant globalisation of your country. I should had though about with... Wallace...Obi-Wan accent... Scottish. I officially change my previous line to : "It must be the Scottish accent" heh. I think we're in the same situation here also, except that we're 8million French-speaking people surrounded by 350million English-speaking people ;-D I will let Jay answer this... ;-) Oh my !! Take that mental image out of my head !!! Agh !! "IT" is really scary... - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard>

Wrong again, Francois!! Half the people here in Toronto don't even speak English!! As you know, Canada is a multicultural country, and so people come here from anywhere and everywhere and quite a large number of them don't even bother to learn the English language properly. Then these same people somehow manage to get jobs either driving taxis, or in telemarketing! (Apologies to those that this might offend... but it's the truth!! (In the Toronto area, anyhow - there are more "minorities" in these fields than there are English-speaking white-Canadians) I read in the newspaper a short while ago, that by the year 2000, white-Canadians will be a minority in Toronto. (Not that that's a bad thing necessarily... but our immigration policy is a little disturbing). So when you said (sarcastically) that Quebec is 8 million people surrounded by 350 million English-speaking people (real # is close to 30 mil total pop.), you were wrong!! Cut that number in HALF!! :o)) Just thought I should correct you!! :o)) doktorB --- >Ah oops ;-) . My apologies for such a ignorant globalisation of your >country. I should had though about with...

> Best apologise to John lest he turn up at your place wearing a kilt and > showing you and your neighbours exactly what Scotsman don't wear under it > ;-) This may be an old joke for you folks from the British Isles, but I heard this one when Mel Gibson was on the David Letterman show promoting "Braveheart". Gibson had asked this crusty old Scotsman who was a technical advisor on the set of "Braveheart", "What do you Scotsmen wear under their kilts?" The old man replied, "Your wife's lipstick". Ba da boom, ba da bing. Dave Ewing (and proud of his Scottish heritage)
