Yes. I was basically cheesed off with being 'suckered' into one of these old threads again, and noticed his 2006 post. Definitely jumped to a wrong conclusion there. One of those ‘give a dog a bad name’ incidences.

Are you saying DanB is a dog? Thats not very nice.

IT'S A FIGURE OF SPEECH. Google it.

I just did, can't find it.

Even though I was born in this country and have lived here all my life, I have never come across it.

Get out more then.

I'll vouch for golfpro, I've heard of that phrase, I'm from the south - maybe its regional.

Maybe if I had attended the fine institute that is UCLan, I would have got out more and heard of such phrases.

I'm presuming that statement implies you think you're 'better than' anyone that attended UCLan?

yes of course.

Well I've heard of it and I'm from two unis both in the top 50. Maybe it's just cos I'm a commoner!

I've been to UCLan which is relatively lowly ranked and Lancaster, which is very highly ranked. There is in my opinion little to choose between them in many respects. Of course I attended both and feel qualified to offer an opinion.

Yes and people who wrongly blame cannot even get off their high horse to apologise (which is worse in my books - especially as I'm the one who brought this thread back).

Thought I did. Didn't I actually use the 'a' word then? My appologies. As a btw, grudges aren't nice things H. Perhaps you should let this one go.

Well of course I will now!

No! No! No! No! No! Is all I have to say on this subject
