Graham

Here we have an excellent example of what was wrong with British
education under the socialist wreckers. This "Graham" is Graham
Stevenson who posts as "Pooh Bear" and is known on several newsgroups
as Poopie for his propensity to soil himself. He was "educated" in an
inner city ghetto trade school jumped up to a university department by
executive fiat and had his ticket punched so that he has a diploma to
brag about. He goes around calling himself an "engineer" even though
his knowledge of electronics is less than that of the lowest grade of
American Navy technician.

But Stevens's mentality, his intelligence, and his grasp of English is
of such a mediocre standard that he can only hold one simple idea in
his mind at once, and that only tenuously. Here's what I wrote:

Grand prix racing is on slicks. Even in the present
interregnum, when grooved tyres are enforced (a rule already changed --
they're going back to slicks)

to which Graham "Poopie" Stevenson responds with utter incomphresion:

Blimey ! You can't even get that right. How long have those grooves been there ?

Let me give it to you in language for morons and in soundbites you can
consume one at a time in your own time, Poop.

1. Grand prix racing is traditionally on slicks.

2. There is a brief interlude in which grooved tires are mandated.

3. The rule has already been changed.

4. They're going back to racing on slicks.

5. Grand prix racing is traditionally on slicks.

6. The brief period of racing on grooves is merely an interlude.

7. They're going back to racing on slicks.

Got it now? Want me to say over and over again in different words?

"Interegnum" means all of that to those with adequate educations. But
take care not to steal a word you don't understand and perhaps make
even more of a fool of yourself by using it ineptly.

HTH.

The rest of you, be kind to Poopie. He can't help being inferior. A
wicked government did it to him by, contrary to the observable truth,
encouraging him to believe that he is as good as any man.
