[...] I’ve been tagged yet again this time by K8. Grandad doesn’t like memes and I’m beginning to understand why [...]

Yes. I agree with that last paragraph. Speaking as one who was supposed to bear a remarkable resemblance to Gerry Adams, and who had to walk the streets of Belfast during a tense time in its history, I am very sympathetic to the nuances of political statements in Norn Iron!

Hmmm… Tag can also mean the mark left by a graffitti artist indicating his/her ‘name’.

But I reckon that manuel when mis-reading it thought that there was an ‘i’ in there…

And popping an extra ‘i’ into ‘I hate tags’ can certainly open up a whole can of whoopass…. Most definately where I originally come from…

Thanks Elly. I have just been going around in circles between Manuel’s comment and UrbanDictionary, and I think I know what it’s about now. I think. But it helps, Manuel if you spell proper. Real world or not. You had both Google and myself confused.

So I take it Tag is another word that has a meaning I’m not aware of?

Jayzus! Why can’t people just use ordinary English?

Whoppass - chronic mis-spelling of Whoopass.

WOW Brianf and Grandad. Me too was asked in writing to join Tempsa and I have a lower than normal IQ. Oooops!

None of the above. ‘Vanilla’ is the nearest. Just an old fart.

By the way, have you ever contacted Speilberg? I think you could have a good film in the making there..

In the tradition of medics who ask athletes with possible concussion “How many fingers am I holding up [don't go there, Grandad - it's a different number in the U.S.]?” my answer is “vanilla”.

Then again, since you mentioned body temperature, and being “over 1000 years old but I’m not yet 40″ could it be that you’re a dashing young man-about-town who was tragically injured while saving the free world from unspecified danger and being cryogenically preserved until medical science can restore you to full vigor while fortunately maintaining a tenuous contact with the world via a thought-activated laptop?

Or are you a time traveler? Or an old fraud?
