@mood for mallards

i always was thinking about the elvis costello conotations to your username, i only just got the 'weather for ducks' side of it.

 

[rettucs]

maybe this?

thats it. But there was lots of back and forth if memory serves

Starting an argument with someone on their own blog is pretty pointless really. They hold all the cards.

 

[ann post]

thats true. i was just reading the wiki about 'argument' - i should memorise this:

In logic, an argument is a set of one or more meaningful declarative sentences (or "propositions") known as the premises along with another meaningful declarative sentence (or "proposition") known as the conclusion. A deductive argument asserts that the truth of the conclusion is a logical consequence of the premises; an inductive argument asserts that the truth of the conclusion is supported by the premises. Deductive arguments are valid or invalid, and sound or not sound. An argument is valid if and only if the truth of the conclusion is a logical consequence of the premises and (consequently) its corresponding conditional is a necessary truth. A sound argument is a valid argument with true premises.

if you have a pop at me, don’t be surprised if I have a (much better written) pop at you

Jim, I'm posting this here because I keep getting errors when trying to post a comment on your blog.

Saying "much better written" here really makes you look bad. , Also you're inclined to be defensive when anyone criticises you or your work, which makes you look bad too. I understand your feelings might be hurt, but nobody's right all the time

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Fix up your punctuation there, egg_.

I wonder if Ralph pronounces his name like Ralph Fiennes

Jim Carroll is actually a cigarette

 

[MDR]

A woman whose heart is broken by Ralph Fiennes is a Ralph victim.
