Thread: Educate me on bushpigs

Ha ha welcome to Sydneys world.
Maybe take a breath or a step back or something. Have a think from a more detached point maybe? because you have completely misunderstood here. Your tree stand comment made me smile. It made me think of the Stuart is trip, anyone that has sat in a tree and watched whitetail would I'm sure smile at the memory. So I recounted the story, its real , I saw 2 deer but didn't shoot. Of course Iv embellished the reason for not shooting but that's just a piss take for the benefit of the bushpig crowd, a little humor. Same tone as my first post in this thread, using the word ugly three times in one sentence should be enough to indicate its a bit of fun. So I have no idea how you read that as me being irritated. Im not at all ,I rarely get heated and just dont get emotional over a trivial internet thread
I don't doubt you when you say you find elec muffs unpleasant, I take you at your word. It would be nice if you extended me the same courtesy. We have been using them for a few years now and find them very good, We can have them on for 2-3 hrs at a time twice a day and longer into the night chasing wallabies. I find them comfortable to the point I can forget Im wearing them. Same in the bush and I find the enhanced sound a positive. Some people find muffs a pain some dont but dont try and tell me what I feel when I put them on because my opinion relates to me and comes from some years of use.
So think a little about noise reduction, ignore the fact that I twice posted agreeing that supresssors will reduce noise and help reduce hearing loss, apply a little logic, do you really believe that I dont understand suppressors ? that being on a hunting shooting forum that I might even have a few or 6? that maybe you just misunderstood? Maybe?

Yes I posted a reminder of you claims. When I corrected you on the burn rate I fully expected to follow up with a discussion but your reply was belligerent and dismissive and not even a hint of inquiry , actually you used the term bullocks, which is either a typo or you've accidentally invented a new term Bulls-bollocks meaning maybe a bigger load of bollcks than normal? I like it actually, I might use it. But your reply gave me a strong indication any following discussion would be pointless. The discussion we've had since and your vitriol above has left me very comfortable with that decision.

As to what is my problem? well My wife would probably say "how much time do I have" and start with my constant piss taking among other things. Im sure you can come up with a few of your own.
So carry on with whatever you believe my earmuff comfort levels are, my levels of comprehension are and what ever ideas you think I cant follow along with, put it all on me and accept no responsibility for any misunderstandings your self, just do it knowing Im not at all irritated and my care factor is rapidly approaching zero.
Right. Dinner time.

Yeah well my world is a little more precise ... for example a bullock is a neutered bull... it was a deliberate alteration of the term bollocks, the irony of using something lacking bollocks to indicate the same meaning intended because they sound similar may be obscure, but its funny and I do that sometimes. Unlike you're own good self I find myself less amusing than I find silly wee things like bullocks without bollocks. I guess that bullocks don't give a bollocks about not having any.

If "bullocks" are the standard for being belligerent, then the sensitive wee girl thing might just be closer than you want to acknowledge.

I must apologise for appearing to care less than zero on the basis of the length of my reply..

Precision can be good, I strive for it in a few select areas, in others i find it cumbersome with a poor return for input and obviously precision doesn't always translate into accuracy.
Yes i agree, that is an obscure use of bullocks, not to my taste but humor is a personal thing. I think Ill stay with my definition if that's ok, it fits better my with less precise more agricultural world.
With the U being one tile away from the o and right next to the L a typo was an obvious conclusion to draw so I wont be to harsh on myself for not catching on. Have you been using the term for long?
I had a workmate some years ago that in his spare time was pulling logs from a delicate area with a team of bullocks. I never thought to ask if he knew how his bullocks felt about having no bollocks.

Of course its not the single word bullocks that indicated a belligerent reply, while it does set the tone to some degree its is the reply in total. I admit it could be more to the lighter end of scale so maybe somewhat belligerent would be closer to the mark.
I didn't really pay any attention to your first reference of the little girl thing but a second mention is interesting. My first thought was that is was a simple insult but tonight as I take on board your earlier critique of my comprehension ( you are inspiring me here ) and apply a little more than my my usual " jump on the obvious' Im thinking maybe not . I haven't heard it used as an insult since way back in maybe the forth form, its ineffectual in today's world and i think its far to juvenile for someone of your precision so I'm at a bit of a loss. I have a few other thoughts ticking over, none of which I'm comfortable with though . I mean it does look little creepy really, fantasizing that I'm a little girl. I know a person can do whatever they like in front of their keyboard in the privacy of their own bedroom but Id rather not be the motivation. But you might be able to help me out here, if you could reach into your bag of obtuse tricks and pullout another "bullocks" like definition that fits for the little girl thing then this seriously disturbing image I now have in my head might fade away.

Please don't apologize , I'm sure your quota for apologies is quite limited an Id hate to see you waste something so valuable on something so trivial.
