Clearly your grasp of history is almost as non-existent as your sense of humour.... On this particular occasion in direct inverse proportion to your sense of self-importance perhaps? I don't see what pointing out your error has to do with anyone's sense of self-importance. Not necessarily the pointing out but the manner? Two self-evident facts pointed out succintly and without elaboration. Obviously you're pretty clueless when it comes to what counts as "self-importance," as well. What's up, can't behave like an adult and accept you ****ed up? Quite obviously you can't read English. Go back and try again. And what am I supposed to have misunderstood, Mr Smartarse? Your pig-****-thick belief that there was no film industry before 1939? Flattery will get you nowhere. Keep reading and make an effort to understand. I'll take that as a "can't," then. -- Nick Cooper [Carefully remove the detonators from my e-mail address to reply!] The London Underground at War: http://www.cwgcuser.org.uk/personal/...ra/lu/tuaw.htm 625-Online - classic British television: http://www.625.org.uk 'Things to Come' - An Incomplete Classic: http://www.thingstocome.org.uk |

Still, I think a bit of bad editing when I changed what I first started to type pales into insignificance compared to your stunning belief that the film industry didn't exist before 1939. It's true some people are easily misled, but I'd be interested to know how you arrive at the conclusion that I believe that there was no film industry before 1939. The station - which you said "predates the film industry" - dates from 1939. So are you saying that there was no St. John's Wood station before that date? |
