Making excuses

[onearmedbandit]

Those annoying Jiff adverts from the 80's got the message through as well (remember the one, with the ice skater and the bathtub?). However I don't buy Jiff now just because I hated the messenger so much. There are other products to choose from.

Would you like to go for a relaxed ride this evening?
I'm going for a, not so relaxed run (legs, etc) at 5, will be ready to ride by 6 if you're keen?

I particularly like the way he gives it a real subtle poke every now and then, just to keep the pot boiling.

It seems to me that he cares much more about the message than he does about the criticism.

Of course, this is all guesswork and he could be a complete arsehole but if I am right, I have done him no favours in writing this - it has the potential to remove his most effective tool.

Let's just keep everyone guessing eh?

The trouble with the Jif adverts in the 80's was you had to change the channel to not see them, which means you saw the start of the ad in the first place, then had to get off the couch to the tv and it was too much effort.

Imagine if people could have put the annoying Jif ad on the ignore list. Most people would and then the message wouldn't get through at all except to those that liked it in the first place. Maybe then they wouldn't have made it so annoying.

How many ad's have made the Fair Go nominations for both the best and the worst ?

To a degree, it's true that there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Trust me, I believe in everything I post on matters such as these.

Not a matter of trusting you, I know you believe in what you post, even if it is with a pinch of salt, what I mean is, some threads are started with one thing in mind, and that is, 'to be totally argumentative' ....like this little Gem http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...jap+bikes+suck ....I happen to know the thread starter, and while he knows it aint true (granted, he hasn't got much time for Jap bikes) he posted the thread just to get a few backs up. He knew he would and it worked....

It's a bit like this thread really-

Hmmm, wonder if they can be merged?

I'm disappointed (and surprised) that you think there's the remotest similarity between that thread and the ones I've started.

And if you think I start threads just to create arguments then you've missed the point completely.

But you do it so well.

Katmouse (thank you Jrandom) doesn't care that much about the message, he is terminally ill (so he says) & pissed off at the world, which drives him here to argue, let off some steam, some may say that is understandable? Looking at his posting history says it all as it doesn't matter what the subject is he does his level best to comes across as an arrogant, ignorant, insensitive & argumentative bafoon.


But I do admire his ability to ignore the facts in front of him while spouting off the complete opposite, just makes him look even more ignorant. Yes the message is note worthy but goodness me for someone who is wanting to open a defense riding school you would think you would go about things a bit more diplomatically than this wouldn't you?

he is terminally ill (so he says)

Man, it's gonna freak my sister out that I tell my bestest mate Boob things that I don't tell her.


Fuck knows where you got that one from - but nothing that comes out of your mouth surprises me anymore.

When I get the time ill attempt to find the post, you made mention to being so some time ago.

but nothing that comes out of your mouth surprises me anymore.

It's much the same as the vast majority of posters in your threads Katmouse, you have a great message but your an arrogant bafoon who few respect.

Probably from one of his dreams he has about you at night.

Is the defense riding school thing still going ahead? I got the impression in the "campaign" thread it had fallen by the wayside. Conspiracy theory-Could this be the true reason for the posts? Drum up bussiness.

Edit- Found Katmans quote- "And the instructor thing? I found out how much it costs and the rigmarole associated with becoming certified. Bugger that - it'll be cheaper and less hassle to take the Secret of Invincibility to my grave."
