    Yeah, because....there is only one :rolleyes:

    I'm not interested in your verbal gymnastics. I'm still not "hung up". Perhaps you are :)

    So you are confirming it annoys you, but you object to saying you are hung up about it....and you say that pointing out they are pretty much the same is "verbal gymnastics"!

    :D

    But I presume they kill the sharks to make a place more safe ie. they are not doing it for fun nor chasing them around oceans. It has some utility.

    If there is a lose rabid dog hanging around, and kids want to play, I say kill the dog. Let's not get hung up about who is in whose habitat, just neutralise the danger.

    Rabid dog in the neighbourhood is a bad example. Should we kill all the tigers in Africa because they are a danger to humans?

    I think you mean to respond to the poster who wrote "kill all sharks in the sea everywhere"!

    I said if a shark is causing a problem, get rid of it. In much the same way if a tiger is posing a problem in some African village, get rid of it.

    QED - that which was to be proved. Your last post about verbal gymastics was such a mouthful that it proved my initial point about your verbal gymnastics. I am glad you are in agreement with me :)

    It has just been brought to my attention that a local hotel is hosting a slimming club of some sort called "Flab U Less". Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go and kick someone in the head... :pac:

    Could you inject more of a shrill tone into all these posts about how not hung up you are. M'kay? ;)

    Which reminds of another one, texts that consist of "k".

    Its terrible. You start getting irrational. Call the post office. Check the tracking numbers...and then you contact the seller to 'check' that they really really did dispatch the item.

    Take solace in the fact that eBay vendors do indeed occasionally for get to dispatch stuff, and Parcel Motel occasionally loses things, both of which happened to me recently in the same week. You're welcome! :D

    No, dont say that! Does constantly pressing F5 on the parcel tracker page help any?

    I wouldn't think so. I find standing on the chimney with a telescope and a pretend-wooden-leg going "Aaaarrrrrrrhh!! Parcel-lubbers ahoy!" good. I'm not sure if it helps much, but it's therapeutic. :D
