Mina Synd 0 Posted May 19, 2008 see what i have to put up with daily? and their birthplace seems to be southend. it's full of inbred yokels and dunces o.o; also the height difference is staggering... the majority of people in southend are all under 5'... and every so often you get some random college kid who is over 6'4" XD; being 5'6" i'm one of the few people in the middle... just walking down the street you can see over everyone's heads and you see the occassional giant walking between them XD anyway back to the intellect. home of the idiots... you get people walking infront of you (on a crowded street) then for no reason they will just stop. and chat... and as you try to walk, someone else does the same thing forcing you to walk in the road to get past ; and never give them shopping trolleys... my god... i can't believe these people passed their driving tests. it's like just because you're shopping you should lose your common sense >.<; okie i'm done with my rant now. but funny funny stuff DD XD even being british, i love it!

Dr. Rodney McKay 0 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) It's because you're more successful than they are. It's happened to me as well, which is why I don't reveal much information about myself.

Luk3us 63 Posted May 22, 2008 If you cast your eyes to the bottom of the forums, and see the top 20 posters, you will see I'm not even near the top. I just post consistently over a long period of time, as opposed to posting many posts in a short period of time, commonly referred to as spamming. Beside your all jealous of my uber post count anyway. I know how it is, but someone has to carry the burden of being so utterly pr0. Share this post Link to post
