No, it wasn't meant in a metaphorical way. What you posted wasn't a metaphor, it was a question. You can't change the rules of the English language to suit your own arguments. You wondered why an earthquake could not happen in Ireland. That. Is. Not. A. Metaphor.

Leave the whole 'lolz your getting the better of me so I'm going to complain about how ure trying to look intelligent' **** out. I get that same argument about four times a day from people. I'm not trying to look intelligent by telling you legit geographical queries can't be metaphors because it's just a base fact. And I'm certainly not trying to impress anybody. Who is it you know who is 'impressed' by discussions on the nature of the English language?

No-one is impressed you just try to belittle people, who have a different opinion

TV Producers are low. But not that low.

What the fuck are you talking about? There is no difference of opinion. What you posted was not a metaphor! Fact!

Your just peeved you ended up looking the victim of an Ashton Kutcher punk and your making yourself look more and more riddiculous as you go along. That's not my fault - it's yours.

Doesnt have to be an earthquake, could be another natural disaster, or even just an problem within the country Patrick.

Lets say for example you have some civil unrest, say two political/religious groups with opposing views decide to start shooting and blowing up people from what they considered the other side. Wouldnt you like someone to srep in and help separate the two warring parties, eventually helping to bring peace to the area.

Would you still be against outside help then Patrick? Or would you keep your 'jack' attitude?

im not on about this thread specifically, im on about in general. TBF you arent even worth the energy there is no getting through to you, you are clearly arrogant

You know he lives in Northern Ireland, right? :hugesmile:.

Well I'm not on about in general. Stick to the thread or stop wasting my time. It's pointless using the escape hatch and giving the old 'I'm not wasting the energy on you, crazy fool!' argument when you already have wasted the energy

Oh yes which makes his jack attitude all the more puzzling, the N. Irish are a nice bunch of people, friendly, helpful and caring, when they aint blowing each other to ******.

Maybe Patrick when he grows up will think about other people helping his community by making efforts to bring about peace. And remeber back to his recent posts about Haiti and feel a little shame, about showing himself to be a selfish and ungrateful wee boy.

If Sky can get votes down to 5p like they have on Got To Dance then there is no reason at all why Channel 4 are still charging 50p.

Channel 4 are loosing money hand over fist, and paid a rather large amount for a Big Brother that would wind up getting a third of it's peak audience.

Remember they even scrapped the charridy altogether last summer!

Voting doesn't make much anyway. During BB8 and 9 it was all for charity, between the 2 series' they only raised about £500k. Thats not even half of Davina's salary per series. I say 'only' because when you consider there were about 25 sets of public votes between the shows and the fact that voting figures hit 22m during BB7 ... noone votes anymore.

Dont forget they get one hell of a wedge from whoever sponsors the show, then advertisement placing in the commercial break, because its now popular advertisers will pay more to be placed in the breaks on the last few days.

There is a knock on effect that advertisers will pay more for placement during the summer BB series.

Oh yeah, what a hoot it is when you're wondering if you're every going to see you're family again, wondering if they're even alive under tonnes of rubble, you've got no food, no water, no home and no family! I don't know how you can say you "don't give a ****" because you'd damn well want somebody to give a **** about you if the situation was spun around.

ive already donated £5. so.

If you like Jay-Z

Patrick:
"Im fed up with people in school going on at me because im the only one in school who quite frankly, couldnt give two ***** about all this in Haiti
......and I'm the headteacher........."

Well I have a mind of my own and don't need to have my conscience prodded by anybody else least of all overpaid bleeding heart celebs who could probably afford to fund the Haiti aid effort single handed if they wanted to instead of buying yet another Ferrari or mansion. I am perfectly capable of and willing to make charitable donations of my own volition and don't need wall to wall a*se kicking on every tv channel to do it.Jay-Z and Bono are two of the richest "celebrities" on the planet and if they make donations in secret, so what. They're not going to miss a million or two whilst the average person is struggling to get by on a daily basis but still manages to contribute what they can, without trumpeting it to all and sundry. I am left unimpressed by the sanctimonious posturing of celebs eager to jump on the bandwagon every time something like this happens

Oh, i thought it was "For Heidi", never mind then. I'm off. i don't even like Jay - Z, so no money for haiti then.

Good for you. But the concert still got more of the public voting than would have voted otherwise. Simple maths.

Im sorry ,too much of mine and my husbands taxes have gone to overseas ,look after our own first

ive got builders in ,i was without a kitchen for a week !! house covered in a layer of dust ,new bathroom in ,but no shower ,no bath panel ,so dont expect me to pity others with the mess im in :nono:
