Gargh. I'm going to hit you with a big stick in a minute! What do you think Tumbler? Look at your mannerisms, then look at other people doing them. OF COURSE it doens't exist you fool!

People are comparing mannerisms to your's. Stop pretending you don't understand.


What is it you've got about my mannerisms? Please explain any grudges, gripes and reservations. What sense is there in making up conditions that don't even exist like "BoogieBeebieitis" and "Tumbletowertitis"?

As for the following quote again ...

I'm about the same. I vaguely remember the last year of ITV Schools on ITV (mainly from the criss-cross design of all the interval cards), but I grew up firmly in the brave new world of ITV Schools on 4. Duh-dih-dah-duh-duh-duh-duh-dih-dah...


Consult a general practitioner immediately, you appear to have been infected with Tumbletowertitis.


cwathen was talking about the ITV Schools on Channel 4 countdown clock music: "Just A Minute", and did a written representation: Duh-dih-dah-duh-duh-duh-duh-dih-dah...

Presumably Noelfirl saw that as copying my practice of making written representations of old ITV regional ident jingles, e.g. LWT ident:

Lin-ga lon-ga lin-ga lon-ga dadada-daa dum dadadada dum dum

I was aware that two written representations already existed for most pieces of music, in the form of their notation and title.

So there.
