Re: Have PostFinance sent you a gift? Jelly tots or Sprungli?

They gave me a new 3 bedroom flat. But i don't like the architecture of the house, the Swiss need to grow up architecture wise. I am forced to live in this flat, this is torture the cruel people are subjecting me to.

P.S
Sorry for the complaining, was just trying to be a bit English for a while and see how it feels (uplifting ! ).

Dont need an interpreter.
Sorry, changed my skewed(misquoted) quote back to what i had quoted. Makes more stick with the truth and with the current times, than with 'Alice in wonderland'.

Falsification for survival is the last straw?, characteristic !.

Huh?

I thought you were referring to humour. Clearly you have none.

I re-read my post, Did you not see the exclamation mark?, sorry i should have put in a smiley too, like this:

to indicate it was humour ?(so i have edited this one). I got confused for a moment myself about that.
I hope this puts things in the humour perspective.

P.S
Serious only for folk who normally take such things seriously, shall we.
I thought you were describing an entity, and so reply was significantly around entity, hope you understand that, Thanks.

Sorry, I'd left by the time you'd finished editing and finally decided what you wanted to say.

2 tips;

1 - Lose the chip.

2 - When you're in a hole, stop digging.

Have a nice life.

Chip, i see!, means 'a provocative statement'?. There are 100s of incessant provocative posts about more or less the same theme, which some people post all the time(often described by the authors as "humour"!), did you not notice the chips in them all that while, did you mention the same to them then?, no.
So what's wrong with some perspective and truth now(reactionary)?, thats no chip. Its not unfair to have it all only one's own way?. Pls lets drop the Chip B.S.
You're more than welcome to tell me what is incorrect in the original statement, am not interested in (discriminatory) viewpoints that ignore the fact and talk only about personality.

Hole?, depends on perspective and viewpoint. I saw no hole in the complete/bigger picture.

P.S
Whether the 100s of posts i referred to above were provocationary/insulting/demeaning?, cannot be simply decided here by any small group (i know that in my native country there would be a huge uproar, and the same would happen in many many countries).
Forget that, if you want all that chip to be taken in good humour by others, then please be prepared to take it in good humour as well, and lets move on.
I've said it crystal clear, enough said.
