Ok ernie, so what is
is foremost on your mind
?
As Mungechick has alreay pointed out (should you have missed and/or ignored this point) Trimix initially made a comment to his wife about the person's choice of food, which the person overheard and responded to. Then a conversation took place, amicably as far as I can make out. Which you choose to characterise as 'loud and spontaneous'.

I'm also interested by yours' and others' assumptions that the 'southern african' upbringing mentioned by Trimix somehow equates to South African. As I'm sure you're aware, there are 15 countries in the Southern African Development Community - which is one measure to catagorise 'southern Africa'. I don't know off-hand what the combined population of those countries is but (going back to your post) your sweeping statement that:
ernie_lynch - Member

I was brought up in southern Africa ......

Well I guess that might go a long way in explaining the self-confessed 'self-righteousness'.

and subsequent assumption is analagous to claiming some type of standard behaviour and common mindset amongst all northern european inhabitants - all french, german, dutch, belgium, polish citizens for example. Happy to stand by that assumption?

Anyhow, go up to the Chilterns sometime and ride with Trimix - surely you must have to drive anyway out of Croydon to ride? Must be only an hour and a half from That There London to the Chilterns - where else to mtb do you reach in much less time than that?

ernie - just thought of something else. For someone who chooses such a self-evident left-wing moniker for this forum, how do you square that with appearing as a mouthpiece for a big business on this thread - unquestionally taking as gospel what the Bernad Matthew company claim?

I have never said that Trimix was South African - why don't you read my posts, if you want to comment on them, specially if you also want to accuse me of 'missing and/or ignoring points'.

Trimix initially made a comment to his wife about the person's choice of food, which the person overheard and responded to. Then a conversation took place, amicably as far as I can make out. Which you choose to characterise as 'loud and spontaneous'.

So it wasn't 'spontaneous' then - he had the whole thing planned ?

And it wasn't 'loud' either, and everything was just tickety-boo ? That's why he chose to post a thread titled :
"My big mouth in the supermarket" ?

And why he proudly announced that he was overheard saying, "How can people eat that shite" ?

And how did he manage to address, quote : "the now large audience" without speaking loudly ?

And tell me ('cause this is really quite interesting) is OK whilst queuing in supermarkets, to make whatever comment you wish, maybe something along the lines of, "look at that fat **** and his ugly wife" as long as the comment is made to your wife, and not to the persons in question ?

I'm also still interested btw, in whether Trimix will approach Trading Standards with his evidence that Turkey Dinosaurs are made "from battery turkeys, stuffed full of growth hormones", despite Bernard Matthews categorical claims that they are not.

But he doesn't seem to have hinted whether he will or not - surely it would be more constructive telling them,
than telling some geezer in a supermarket queue ?

BTW, I'm not defending "big business on this thread". I have said that Bernard Matthews should be prosecuted for lying. Unfortunately I don't have the evidence. However, Trimix apparently has.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, I'm not sure if this thread is hilarious or tragic, what I do know is that it is addictive, the STW massif at their cute and cuddly best, my only question is 'where will this thread go to next?' keep up the good work all, good to see the festive spirit is alive and well!!

Share the love people, share the love.

Good points and well made CrispedWheel. It's slightly duplicitous for Ernie now to claim than he wasn't implicitly assuming that Trimix was South African - and he still hasn't addess CWs point about the earlier gross generalizations about the southern African character. Intellectual laziness ahoy...

Perhaps we should all take up Trimix's invitation to go for a ride.

e_l never made any reference to Saffa's - I think some of you are way too sensitive, there must be someone here wandering round grumbling "You lie!"

...for Ernie now to claim than he wasn't implicitly assuming that Trimix was South African ................ Intellectual laziness ahoy

I was assuming that Trimix was, what he said he was : "brought up in southern Africa". And since you appear to be too lazy to bother to check the facts, let me do some copying and pasting for you :

you're making some unpleasantly Eurocentric assumptions about Trimix's social and ethnic background there.

How can someone's ethnic background ever be described as 'unpleasant' ?

It was your assumptions - that Trimix is a white South African - that troubled me Ernie

And your assumption that I'm assuming that Trimix is a white South African, troubles me.

Southern African is an area of the world with a history of 'self-righteousness', ie, "we know best, so we tell you what to do, and you do as you are told". Now if Trimix was brought up in this environment, then it might not be entirely surprising if some of it has rubbed off on him, he does after all, accept that he might perhaps be "a bit self righteous". I have no idea what his ethnic background is ...... maybe 'Trimix' is a clue ?

See ? No mention anywhere, that Trimix is South African, just that he was bought up in southern Africa - as he says he was.

So given the evidence Mattie, I suspect your prejudicial assumptions that I am assuming Trimix is South African, is due to a rather large dose of intellectual laziness. Because I have no reason to believe that the level of self-righteousness is any lower in other southern African countries. Indeed when considering the self-righteousness/southern African issue, I tend to automatically first think of Rhodesians. As their open rebellion against the British Crown, and their declaration of UDI, suggests an impressive level of "self-righteousness".

Given that I did not refer to Trimix as South African, and that Trimix himself suggested he might be a bit self-righteous, it would appear that some punters are a tad casual with evidence and the facts, preferring instead to jump to conclusions. All of which, is making me start to wonder whether Trimix actually has any evidence to back up his claims that Turkey Dinosaurs are made "from battery turkeys, stuffed full of growth hormones".
I would be very disappointed if he hasn't

This just sounds like typical Northern European bellicose flim flam to me

I cannot believe this thread is still running! WHen I opened it yesterday I read Trimix's comment and pi**ed myself laughing (as I think it's funny, whether others do or don't I'm not asking for a debate on). now it's turned into a bunch of ididots arguing over goodness knows what.

You would've thought we would've accepted by now we all have different opinions/views etc and to end up in this petty argument over some turkey dinosaurs is brilliant!
noticed how Trimix is sat on his chair watching and laughing his head off I imagine!!!!!!!

Happy Christmas all ... oh and ernie et all please keep me entertained for another 3 days at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had assumed that his silence was because he was too busy preparing his dossier on Bernard Matthew's WMDs to hand over to Trading Standards ?

.....and thereby helping to save little children from biological and chemical attacks launched from secret farms in Norfolk.

I bet he's spending Christmas Eve doing the final 'sexing up' touches to his dossier. This year is going to be a very good Christmas for children everywhere. And a very bad year for the Norfolk sponsored Turkey Terrorists.
