[Humour] What Makes You A Dullard ?

[Algernon]

'Plain site' Is NSC dull as well ?

I went back once already to edit that. I'll have another go.
Done now.
Thanks for ever so kindly saughting that out for me.

When I watch films or TV and there is a record player/turntable, I always try to identify the cartridge being used on it. I get a bit grumpy if it is a very basic ceramic cartridge but the sound comming out if is amazing and unrelistic. Not sure if that makes me a dullard or just *ucking strange

I am a bit of a slight stickler for word usage, and I am interested in etymology, which has been known to induce yawns in my interlocutors.

Perhaps this is why this thread is annoying me somewhat: a dullard is actually someone who is slow or stupid. What people are describing here is behavior that is pedantic, obsessive, boring, and (yes) dull. This is undertaken by pedants, bores, obsessives, anoraks, train-spotters, or, perhaps, the somewhat American nerd or geek.

Yes, but you are proving the point. Despite being told more than once the meaning, people are continuing to contribute to the thread, making them either slow or stupid...ergo dullards!

I‘ve never…
smoked
drank alcohol
drank coffee
taken illegal drugs
eaten a boiled egg
had a poo in a football ground

If you had done the first four would you have posted only the last two I wonder.
Wondering this makes me a dullard possibly.

Imagine if @Questions turns out to be a bona fide serial killer hiding in plain sight on NSC.

Having had the pleasure of his company recently I can categorically state that I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Oh no - just remembered that he knows where I live

Another enjoyable dullard trait of mine is to identify 'then and now' scenes in British movies.

This website is a brilliant resource: https://www.reelstreets.com/

For me, it’s writing things like this:

‘Now I love buses and coaches. And there is little more exciting that the new trackers that have appeared in recent years. Oh the joys of watching the number 18 go around the Queen's Park route.’

Hold on, I thought I wrote that. Plagiarism is really dull. Anyway, I can out dull you.

Bone Fide can translate into, ‘In good faith’
I’d like to think what I do is in good faith

Is dullard the right word?

I’d say more nerd / boring / obsessive?

Anyway, I get what you mean.

The things I’m passionate about aren’t boring to me so it’s hard for me to judge.

I like nice notebooks, hiking / walking, old lugggage / trunks.

Sussex by the Sea sung at the Amex!!!!!!

It sends chills down my spine.

About the time my wife puts her hand on my neck.

My dad was in the original Royal Sussex Regiment and it was their song. He died just as Covid started and the 10 of us allowed at the funeral sang it there. At lot of personal meaning for me every time

That love face includes a lot of respect for the meaning of the song for your father.

You have summed up so many self employed tradesman me included. If every supplier emailed the receipts like Screwfix and Toolstatiom do things would be a lot easier.

Quickbooks - take a photo of receipt when you buy something and it's instantly uploaded to your expenses account
