Nope, I only bet on certainties! :laugh:

You know you could have just held your hands up and said OK rather than going to the effort of deleting your account and starting up a new one. Anyway I'm going to leave it here.

You spotted the (can't think of the word) on my part then.

Because I was lied to in the next message. Not only that but the lie was so blatant it was inferring I (and the rest of us) were mugs and would fall for it.

The name of the page says it all. It's a photo of a news item showing some bloke called Dr Whet Faartz with the phrase Comisario de la Explosion underneath. The fact he looks like Russel Crowe playing Noah adds to the chuckle for me.
It's reads "Exposicion" in that sign, but funnily enough I did read it as Explosion first time round and deem that reasonably funny by itself. Cheers!

Sorry, missed replying to your post before it was deleted. No, no disappointment here. I feel a little foolish that my memory let me down - I guess I'd read/heard the figure of 21 weeks and recalled it as 21 months. I'm really not conversant with the figures for training casualties in armies across the world, though the training record of the Australian SAS alarms me. I cant find it just now, but my (probably faulty) memory is that roughly 90% of Australian SAS deaths have occurred during training exercises. The point being that training in and of itself is not an endeavour that comes without risk. Not sure how my message came across as insincere, you've mistaken my intentions entirely. I said what I meant and am rather curious as to your reason for jumping to such a conclusion. I was a little put-out by (a) the fact that the user-name was changed From Marco Bertschi to Member8888914 and (b) the country was changed from Switzerland to Afghanistan, but they're both entirely irrelevant. I checked the profile and realized the change in identity as a result of recognizing the sig. It was a quote from Dalek Dave and one I knew I'd read in someone's sig recently. Curiosity dictated that I follow the rabbit down the hole, whereupon I discovered the attempt at disguising the identity before the account was nuked.

[Here](data:text/html,<html><body contenteditable />) is a good place to vent. Having mostly flamewars in the lounge lately really sucks...

Brilliant. Although I had already seen these deleted posts (There was another on the Phew Thread). Another one to add to the list Marco.

Well, I don't know how you've come to the conclusion that this user is Marco re-incarnated, but I'll take your word for it, since it makes no difference to me. Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that the conversation you kept having with Marco was a lover's tiff. Which, I don't propose for a second it is, that would be ludicrous. It just seems odd to me that each of you got so bent out of shape yesterday - like each of you were trying to convince the other of the error of their ways. I didn't follow along from the point that it turned sour for each of you on this site, but never-to-mind. It clearly kept you both occupied and likely provided a source of mirth for many other casual observers. There's no need to agree with everyone, but the world is a much sweeter place if we can all just get along. Thanks for the lulz. :-D
