anyways - genericising is a pretty lame Jerry Springer-type approach. never mind the european slants - let me focus on you trying to appear smart by slagging off a company - especially since you are using their software to write your snotty reply, to cut your snazzy graphic, to read your interesting email. so as you raise your (connected to a windows PC keyboard) begin to flame me - consider that all I am doing is raising points, whereas you are offending Belgian, German, French people, as well as those from a particular company - why not become a football hooligan, at least you will get a weekly game??
i bet you own smart parts duvet covers...because they came with your bed. but it's cool to slag them off isn't it...
he he, when did French become a Race? Or English, German etc....it's a nationality mate. I feel free to have a go at the French, Belgians etc...... as they are no different to me and anyone with an ounce of sense just takes it as a silly joke....... the only difference between me and a Fenchman is differenct accents and a prediliction for eating stuff you find in ponds, so I really can't see how it's offensive........ in fact, if you read the comment it's actually anti-English and refers to our ability to hold pointless grudges. Anyway...are you French? if so I apologise as you are in fact the first Frenchman to give a toss about an Englishmans opinion
What part of "yes the English hold a grudge....just ask the French" is anti-French? please explain......
Also, can you explain the rest of your post? doesn't really make sense to me...... have you actually read the thread? I drew a simple comparison between two companies trying to strangle the opposition....... what the hell has that got to do with football hooliganism? also, who mentioned Germany? I don't believe I've offended anyone....... but you accuse me of Racism? who the hell do you think you are "I am just raising points", like hell, you're having a go for no reason, picking on the slightest thing........ great, see how long you last.
And the comment about the bitmaps? that's bang out of order, those are team logos, links to our sponsors websites and the tourneys we play in. I consider calling logos etc dumb bad manners, but I'm not petty or pedantic enough to bother pointing it out. Smart parts duvet covers? What are you babbling about? Seek help. Or is this another axe grinding mission? I don't recognise the name, but you seem to have picked out my posts to respond to...... come on, what's upset you, share with the group.
