Who are these urglers?
My theory is that if people had any idea what the other urglers looked like
it would help towards less misunderstanding. I don't know why I think that, but I think I'm right. I always think I'm right. If I see someone in a pub covered in tattoos and wearing rigger boots I will address them differently from someone wearing a twinset and pearls. Here is a Marvo pic. It features neither tattoos nor pearls. http://www.backtrack.org/images/marvo.jpg I don't normally dress quite like that, I'm usually scruffy. You may guess why I am wearing whatever it is in that pic. |

"Uncle Marvo" wrote My theory is that if people had any idea what the other urglers looked like it would help towards less misunderstanding. People get judged by appearance far too much in this life already. I rather like mentally picturing people by the handsome is as handsome writes method. Mind you when I first started reading the group I thought Morley sounded like a nice old gent in corduroy gardening trousers and waistcoat! ;-) And there was a feisty lady called Pat - she turned out to be a bloke with a pigtail iirc! I don't know why I think that, but I think I'm right. I always think I'm right. If I see someone in a pub covered in tattoos and wearing rigger boots I will address them differently from someone wearing a twinset and pearls. Online written 'appearance' can be judged likewise, and is probably more reliable on the whole. If you see someone swearing and insulting people whenever they have a difference of opinion and generally throwing tantrums like a bad mannered brat, you draw the appropriate conclusions. -- Sue |

To have 'the flesh (la chair) 'a fleur de peau' = very sensitive. So peau - skin, but sounds like 'pot' without the 't'. And 'pot' is just like 'pot' in English. Gawd ...

Who are these urglers?

I don't know why I think that, but I think I'm right. I always think I'm right. If I see someone in a pub covered in tattoos and wearing rigger boots I will address them differently from someone wearing a twinset and pearls. If you tried doing that where I live then you'd soon find out that the one's wearing the tats and boots were from the rich and old families and the ones wearing pearls were the snooty wannabes. Kate Fox makes a similar point in her book 'Watching the English', comparing the backgrounds of Shirley Williams and Margaret Thatcher -- Kay |
