Hey, this inability-to-read-in-context thing is actually quite easy!

Umm, it was a contest? I wasn't aware of that, but ok. I win . . . and you're boring . . . care to discuss embassy situations intelligently?Yes, you win, Vaucluse. You win. I'm sorry. You're just far too good.

Missed you around the place.

Plavt,
I did actually see everything because I happened to be returning a temporary parking permit to the guard house when it started. You could say that I had a ring side seat !

I happened to be there on Monday night and witnessed your sorry episode. Luckily for you and everyone else on this forum, I can give an exact account of what I and other residents saw and it differs somewhat from yours.
Your account and his account differ, so how do I or anybody else know which is accurate and correct? However, you cannot know the full facts as there were events that led up to to the fracas you saw whether the behaviour by the people involved was justified or not.
Not a question of simply right or wrong! Should you care to read the OP's original statement you will notice he waited for his agent to show up. That means sometime elapsed before the conflict began. Margrt was not witness to that part of the story since there was nothing to attract hers or anyone's attention and would not know what or what was not said. I don't suppose Margrt spends all her time listening and watching the security guard. Seems there is always somebody like you who cannot consider a few simple facts and must be right no matter what the truth actually is or was!quidsin wrote:
Plavt,
Your right, margt's account and his account differ...white is blue and blue is white. That's exactly why margt has probably taken the effort to give us his/her account. He/She also rounded up the residents that witnessed the event in an effort to show support for the security guard, so were all of them wrong too?

I'm afraid currymeister simply doesn't get it, no great loss . . . I hear a sense of humour is going at Cold Storage for SGD2.99, you should invest.

Dutch? Me Dutch? Plavt is right, I may be many things, but this crosses the line, my friend! Dutch? next thing you'll accuse me of is being a Kiwi or Welsh!
saint, it will be a lot easier to get that pint once you are on the little red dot permanently - it is just a few hours drive south/north . . . innit! Umm, do you owe me or do I owe you? I know Superglide owes me a few and the craggy Frog owes me one as well . . .
SMS - yes, moved to KL recently, had a brilliant opportunity here, grabbed iit with both hands, and it certainly beats the heck out of living in Thailand . . . sold off the business - while keeping percentages of profit in perpetuity,of course - love living here, though the travel is now to places I haven't really frequented often if at all; Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Myanmar etc. . .
Can't complain, though . . .
Oh dear, as to our resident Jezebel, Wind In My Hair . . . yes, women certainly have an impact on our daily lives . . .

(curryman and sierra - - - humour is what makes the world go 'round, try it some time)
Yes, poignant humour, but seeing as you have no sense of humour I guess it is lost on you . . . sigh . . .Currymeister wrote: arrogant prat and arrogant whitey is humour? Which demneted school did you go to?
And Plavt - don't warn me about my level of wit, when your Russian friend Mr V started instigatred that level of wit first. Delete my posts by all means, but call Mr V humourous...that really is humour. Sick humour.
