QUOTE (Iommi @ Nov 5 2010, 10:03 PM) That's a laugh, Glad it put a smile on your face. At least I've done something right. QUOTE other than unfunny jokes, the only time you stick your head above the parapet is to moan about how crap everything is these days! You're one of the laaaast people who deserves to sing 'Always Look On the bright Side Of Life!' Actually i don't and there is a lot that isn't crap. But these boards would be redundant if we just talked about the positive things in life.... and mister clever clogs what positive post have you ever put up? You are always moaning or criticising somebody else. QUOTE No sense, no feelings! Don't be too hard on yourself.

I am always willing to help out a fellow psychiatric reject. Back.... to the institution. QUOTE ...who is usually moaning a criticising about something or other... immigration out of control, feral youth gone wild, no justice these days, blah, blah, blah... I've never said immigration is out of control on here. As for 'feral youth gone wild or no justice...' Don't be silly, we live in a prefect run controlled police state. QUOTE I'm my own worst critic. Imagine being me and having to put up with me! Yes, I understand your dilemma.

Whether you have or haven't, if you read the statement that I replied to, you would see that it need not apply to you.

I actually recognise and understand irony!

QUOTE (Iommi @ Nov 5 2010, 10:23 PM) Explain what irony is. For you, as you have trouble working things out yourself, I've put it in full; thanks to Wikipedia. Don't thank me, just send me a cheque for a nominated charity. QUOTE [i][b]Irony (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning dissimulation or feigned ignorance) [1] is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or situation in which there is a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident meaning of words or actions. Very often this discordance is created as a means of communication (as in art or rhetoric), and even when it is not created directly, the act of drawing attention to such a discordance in reality may serve a communicative function of sharpening or highlighting certain features of reality.Verbal and situational irony are often used for emphasis in the assertion of a truth. The ironic form of simile, used in sarcasm, and some forms of litotes emphasize one's meaning by the deliberate use of language which states the opposite of the truth — or drastically and obviously understates a factual connection.In fictional dramatic irony, the author causes a character (acting as the author's mouthpiece) to speak or act in a way contrary to the truth. This technique highlights the literal facts by portraying a fictional person who is strikingly ignorant of them.In certain kinds of situational or historical irony, a factual truth is highlighted by some person's complete ignorance of it or his belief in the opposite of it. However, this state of affairs does not occur by human design. In some religious contexts, such situations have been seen as the deliberate work of Divine Providence to emphasize facts and to taunt humans for not being aware of them — when they could easily have been enlightened (this is similar to human use of irony). Such ironies are often more evident, or more striking, when viewed retrospectively in the light of later developments which make the truth of past situations obvious to all.Much irony involves commentary that heightens tension in the life situation of someone who needs to learn an easily known fact but somehow fails to learn it.

If I can find it and quote it correctly proves that I do know what it means. But the reason I did copy and past was to stop you flapping around and saying you didn't understand what I was saying... for affect and your audience. QUOTE Just keep posting you rubbish hear and leave the other threads alone; if you do that then I'll love you for ever, and that is a long time. If I've made you happy then I have achieved one of my wishes and hopefully made God, Muhammad, Allah and Jesus happy and proud of me.... now I am content.

Typing Irony into a search engine requires no skill, and copy and pasting the result proves nothing about your comprehension. I'm going to have to take house points from you as well it seems.

Blasphemy will get you no-where.
