You will have to forgive us mere mortals for being unable to decipher the information you are trying to give us and to that end, please try basic English so that we may all understand and therefore benefit from it.

The more you fish, the better you get at it ? Lots of things in the river are a mystery to me. Some seem to have no interests in profiles. I'm entitled to my opinion also.....it might be foolish to always express it.....gobbledegook is for lawyers perhaps.....there's so much advice that is free.

I think once you get lost in the mire of metaphor and analogy, it's damned difficult to form sentences without using them. Like me not using the "F" word when working with yanks - so hard not to.
Just say what you want to say in laymans terms, nobody's a critic but people do want tounderstand, discuss and reply to threads without having to decipher what they're about - and then to misconstrue whatever it is supposed to be about.

My challenge to you Ian69: Try to write 5 consecutive answers to the next postings on here without using free verse, metaphors or analogies.

Go on, dare ya.

Well I've looked at your profile and there's normal banter going on there without the 'weird' stuff/way of saying things you use on the forum.

I've no idea why that is - but it's fine by me - I get the gist most of the time, especially after a beer or two.
