BB's do allow people with absolutely no knowledge or experience of a particular subject, to interject their "opinion". Why they do this is a mystery!

Now dearest- this is IMO- a great post...although we rarely see eye to eye- I have to hand it to you on this one...!!

People need time to learn about things. They may agree with you later...hearing additional info or opinions may change their mind...or they may not ever agree. That's ok.

Slc- amazing new maturity- and great posts...Theo- you might hate to hear that- but she's right....you were often right in the past - your timing was a tad off and your language- and I give you a big disclaimer because of being a foreigner (me too...!) threw you for some challenges...be patient- be polite- peeps will sit at your feet and wait for the wisdom to come across your lips...LOL!

Sure, but just warn me if you decide to piss in my general direction!

Or as my friend says: "Just don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining...'!!

Ok Sabine I will stay modest this time, but believe me I have only two rules:

1 I am always right
2 In the case that I make a mistake rule 1 applies.

Goodnight , I have to start working on the music for the Chinese Evening at Jumping Amsterdam., so I am going try to find some poluted music.

Pissing against the wind comes from the naval community

I heard its origins were in the 1960s and never heard anything about it being related to the naval community. At least, that's pissing "into" the wind. I've already voiced my opinion about "pissing against the wind" and that it's not an American phrase. So, it could be that the naval community in England said that, but then again, they didn't have a pot to piss in so it would make sense.
