Seriously?

Does it actually matter what he said? Especially the fact that, as I type, it's the most read story on BBC News. People need to get a life, in particular the people who researched this and the people who paid the sad feckers!

Obviously you care enough to complain about other people caring about it, so I'd think that other people caring enough to comment on it in the first place is obviously true.

NB: I haven't read the linked article.

[Ed Pummelon]

I think if we're going to start complaining about people getting paid to do things other people find pointless, we're going to have a very long list.

[Boboff]

Perhaps we could get someone to do the list?

That would be pointless, and they could go on the top of list.*

I was going to say "the" list, but felt leaving it in was pointless.

[Yudster]

You were probably under a lot of pressure.

[Boboff]

Not atmospherically speaking.

[Yudster]

I never speak atmospherically.

[Ed Pummelon]

Just airily?

[Yudster]

Probably. I'll work on it.

[Ed Pummelon]

Airily is good: jaunty, breezy and so on. Not to be confused with hot air, like a balloon. Not that I'd like a balloon you understand, it was just a figure of speech. I feel unusual...

[Yudster]

I responded to "airily" differently - I kind of got up-in-the-air, condescending, over people's heads - not so pleasant. Probably more likely though.

[Boboff]

Ah, that would be an ecumenical matter!

*feck

[Yudster]

I'm not sure I have enough understanding of all the implications of ecumenism to ascribe to it. Its one of those things that sounds great on the surface, but if you look at it a bit more thoroughly you realise why it hasn't ever happened before. It wouldn't work anyway.

[Boboff]

Wow, you got the hang of airily quickly!

Father Ted?

[Yudster]

Father Ted definitely wouldn't be in favour. And I didn't have to work at airily - I was planning on working on stopping it. If possible.

[Ed Pummelon]

You shouldn't stop airily, nothing exists in a vacuum. Except fluff.

[Bonanzoid]

Obviously you care enough to complain about other people caring about it, so I'd think that other people caring enough to comment on it in the first place is obviously true.

NB: I haven't read the linked article.

I found it amusing.

[Yudster]

You shouldn't stop airily, nothing exists in a vacuum. Except fluff.

So I could be fluff, or nothing? Well I'm not fluff, but.........

[Ed Pummelon]

...or just carry on airily. Or maybe breezily - that could be a refreshing alternative in the summer?

[Boboff]

Especially if your washings out.

[Ed Pummelon]

Yudster doesn't strike me as the kind of person who goes around with her washing out, but you never know.

[Yudster]

No, I have a tumble dryer.

[Boboff]

She used to have Tits out............side her office window.

[Yudster]

Now I don't even have an office.

[Johnny 1989]

Ah, that would be an ecumenical matter!

*feck

a fantastic episode, I really need to dig out my Father Ted DVD's

As for the article in question, I don't see what's so wrong with the way he said it anyway? Makes perfect sense to me.

I wish I could get paid loads of money for basically doing sod all
