Oh no ….’Squeay’ Toy. ….were you on a live string. Waaaahahaha !

I guess on his keyboard ‘k’ is close to ‘a’. 

Rudehole...you haven't caught me in a lie on this site...ever...so go GFY...I don’t have to lie when it suits everything just sticking with the truth...you on the other hand...

"put up some examples of me correcting anyone other than Moffie . . . or are you just a liar?"

I didn't say that, did I?...although I'm sure your pedantic d!ckheaded self has done it numerous times...I can't be arsed to go look for proof...happy to go with my gut on this...

"happy to go with my gut on this..."

Nothing at all wrong with your gut ......

Moffie, do yo u ever scroll back on your posts and think to yourself "Oh God, I'm a very childish and obsessive loser"?

Do you ever wonder why a grunt like you would call anybody else a loser?

He's a snob, regardless of his failings...

Lol Rooi, how does an obsessed person look to some that is obsessed?

Just maybe you'd be the best one to answer your own question after a visit to a mirror.

Rooi doesn't suffer DDS as you do and he doesn't do board postings at 5 in the morning either.

Bwhahahahaha

Would that be the Rooi who moaned that the last half of  One  Hundred Year of Solitude was being crammed into the last 10% of the Series when in fact there is a second season. That after claiming it was his favorite book, Hahaha! Sure let’s hear from that genius.

Actually. that sounds like someone who knows the book as well as I do. I did post on the the th read  that I was very glad there was a following season . . . .something I didn't know before I started watching . . . .but if you think you know more about my favourite author than I do then let's get it on . . . you claim you've read Love in The time of Cholera so go ahead and tell us about the central themes of that novel and who your favourite character was and why.

Don't go running to ChatGPT or Google now . . . I'll know if you do.

Hmmm . . . you're taking a bit longer than one would expect. Moffie . . . are you still researching? Let me know when you're online and we can trade questions about Gabriel Garcia Marquez's works.

Did you ever read his autobiography Living to Tell the Tale and do you know what factors made him a Liberal rather than a Conservative?

How about the beautifully titled "Chronicles of a Death Foretold"? Did you read that? How about his short stories "Leaf Storm"? Did you read those?

These are all simple yes or no questions.

Just a deep . . . deep . . . dive?

A deep . . . 

. . . deep . . . 

. . . deep . . . 

. . . dive.

Moffie is somewhere near the bottom of the Marianas Trench and digging frantically!

How about the people who translated his works, Moffie? Do you prefer Grogory Rabassa or Edith Grossman? Any particular reason why?

Moffie? Are you there?

Over a period of more than 20 years, some of us know this is normally the time of day when you post the most of yout self-important yet ignorant rubbish . . . . any reason why today is different?

LMAO! 

Moffie, do we need to alert you nurse?

Hmmmm . . . Moffie, are you cowering like a jellyfish or did you hit the [insert name of snobbish overpriced whisky that only stupid and pretentious people buy] a bit earlier in the day than usual?

Out on my motor launch Peeper, we went across to one the islands for a nice lunch. So I never saw your feeble response…..only a very stupid person wouldn’t ask themselves if there is a second season with 50% of the book still to cover and 10% of the time left.

That’s the point,  your contemptuous dismissal of the highly regarded series because you simply didn’t understand what was going on ….so not cowering like a jellyfish. I did spot a few though, along with schools of dolphin. How was your day?

Let’s preserve this most humiliating ‘death of a snob’ posting for posterity. Nothing is funnier than a snob attempting to demonstrate their superiority and then not even having the smarts to understand there has to be a season 2..

My vote for the most humiliating post of all time:

Arguably the greatest book ever written, it doesn' t translate that well to the screeen.

There's just too much that Gabriel Garcia Marquez leaves up to the imagination to allow a fair comparison but the fact that the last 50% of the book was condensed into the last 10% of the series should tell you how much of the series to take into consideration when measuring this great work.

Probably my favourite literary work of all time but a very average TV series.

Edit: Not that different to my second favourite literary work of all time . . . Catch 22 . . . which was also a disappointing TV translation, even if the great Alan Arkin was a major feature.

‘The last 50% of the book condensed into the last 10% of the series’…..hahaha. Nope into series 2. And who the blue blazes was the moron who liked it…the mind boggles, perhaps they would like to come clean and defend poor Peeper. He needs all the help he can get.
