Biffo Plonker had a nice ring to it is all.

Doesn't even look like a name to me, unless like I said it is some British slang thing.

Names don’t mean much to me, but Biffo likes to call them and “plonker” is one of his favourite put-downs. He’s utterly slain me with it on more than occasion, I don’t mind admitting ... chortle chortle.

And then one day, what do you know, I looked and lo I saw that “plonker” rhymed ever so well with “konker”.

I gave myself several slaps on the back for that one, I don’t mind telling you.

English slang aside, it is certainly akin to 'dumb,' something you repeatedly alerted Trev for calling you.

Truth be told, you only object to name-calling when you are on the receiving end.

I really don't even know what Plonker means, just had a nice ring to it Biffo Plonker! πŸ˜‰

From goad's response I take it is British slang for something.

Dive was rather concerned yesterday I was bullying you.

He thinks you're delicate.

I have no idea what you're talking about goad. What do you think I alerted that trev said? Hell I can't keep up with all the alerts you think I put out.

I know Dive doesn't think I am delicate.

You were trying to bully me along with Suzie Q and a few others.

Well you are a bully, a clever one who needs a little gang, but a bully none the less.

Probably stems from childhood.

Your understanding of 'bantering' is on the same level as Dive's understanding of 'altruism' or FMF's 'pseudonym.'

I'll take the cleverness.

When I said yesterday I was invariably three moves ahead of you, your response was 'that's irrelevant.' (Not even any attempt to refute the assertion).

Not to get involved or change the subject, but are your eyes brown?
