Even though evidence of their truly basal position was known (Stensiö,
1968), the lack of fossils made it difficult for people who study fish
evolution to accept that the Myxini could have evolved so long ago.

Most cyclists are apparently rather rich. If you can't at least afford two
cars, are you sure you're ready for membership of the cycling fraternity?

Not needing to have two is why they're rich.


You've missed the point by a fair margin there.


Rather less wide than yours.

Not so much now. You never heard of the credit crunch on your planet?

I expect that the familiar general word order and sentence construction you
used there makes you believe that that was some sort of witty rejoinder.

In fact, it is simply a string of words without any meaning rooted in reality.

See whether you can work out why that is.

For the same total braking, when distributed between two wheels,
lockup is less likely to occur. Weight transfer is not an issue in
such circumstances.

Has it stopped cars and consumer electronics from depreciating faster than
Labour election posters?

Ability to afford is highly aligned to desire.


Is it?
I could afford a £5,000 bicycle. Several of them, in fact.
But do I desire one?


What I can afford and the next
man can afford will differ considerably. Most people cannot afford a
new
£1000 bike every year.


You are surely wrong. "Most people" see more than that depreciate off
the value of their car every year. Flat screen TVs must be depreciating
fast as well (though not by £1,000 pa). They can afford it. If they
couldn't, they er... wouldn't. The reason they don't buy a £1,000 bike
annually is that [delete as appropriate] (a) they don't want a bike at
all (just throwing that out there for discussion), (b) don't want one
that badly or are prepared to (c) buy one which is cheaper.


I can, but I can’t really afford a second car.


No shame in that. The cost of running a car is more than £1,000 a year.
Whether you can afford a second car is a completely separate issue from
whether you would like one.


Disagree, I could actually afford a second car if I wanted one. But
the fact
of the matter is that I don’t want one. I do not want the car, and I
do not
want the costs that would go with it.


Actually, you've just agreed with me.


Probably, but the standard argument for being ‘unwilling to pay for’ for
is ‘I can’t afford’. Perhaps that really shows how the use of ‘can’t
afford’ gets abused and used as a substitute.

Planet Nugent is a mirror image of the real world where cars can beat
bicycles on city commutes.
I am glad I don't have to read the tedious toad's tripe anymore -
killfiles have put paid to him.

Yes of course they have :-)

I hope you are not missing the heads up that I am giving you in my posts :-)

Have you noticed how some ******s actually need to tell someone when they have been put in the kill-file?
But then of course - the really serious ******s have to remind people periodically; particularly when they have let
something slip which shows that they do actually read the "kill-filed" poster.

Dear oh dear - you naughty little porker you.
I do not recognise you as Judge, Jury and Police of this newsgroup.
You want to attempt that which is incorrect? Go ahead.


Incorrect? *In what way?


Are you denying using the posting names of:


Front Mech

Ricky Bikebloke
Sedentary IgnorantPopulist
J.M.Messie


I have said - you seem to be a bit of a Porker here.


incorrect means wrong


Wrong in what way?


I see that you are not denying using those names.


What a tosser you are.


Let's take your posting in this thread:


and then of course you were actually caught using the email address *you had
registered specifically for the purpose of making out that posts were from me


J.M.Messie


It is wrong. I invite you to prove your incorrect assertion.


No,.no. no *- I caught you. *You then denied it

Incorrect. Wrong. Did you rebut my denial with conclusive proof?


So I say that you denied it.

You say that I am *"incorrect" - and I am *"wrong" - and yet you then
acknowledge that you made a denial.

Most odd - still we knew that your English was almost as bad as your Dutch.

Who are "we".

I am pleased you resorted to this again: this is ground upon which I
am the expert and about which you have no knowledge. Support your
statement about my Dutch. Oops, you can't. Liar
