What happened to the rest of you?

It is a funny old world Mr Sperg - you getting a badge?  What are you, a Brownie?  [Oh my goodness, I feel a "roast" coming on - must back away and be calm.]

we're simple people. you get what you ask for

All I have EVER wanted, was to be Isperg's friend......but, alas, no.  He has reached his lofty achievement without me.  It's like when your mate from school (who was irritatingly "something special") buys his first Bentley Continental aged 32 !!

see Ren and Stimpy

Favourite cartoon as a kid. Until Simpsons came along and surpassed it. Then South Park took the crown.

I still like animation. but 70's 80s stuff, like "heavy metal(1981)" and fantastic planet (1973) 

Frustrated cartoon watching ambitions as a kid, then I had a kid in the 90's, and my cartoon watching boat came in...

Go see if you tube will let you see Ren and Stimpy series 2 episode 2 tooth nerve beaver.. (O.k. I didn't watch that one with my kid) 

I've even got a courage the cowardly dog tee shirt...  And more spongebob merch than I should too.

My secret shame, "outed" at last..

I had to look that up = a bit niche?!  Early 90's cartoons have never been a special interest for me.

Well and clearly expressed.  I can't argue with that.

I have better names for them:

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza

now which one is which one 

Ah well, if one happens to be a Brit living in China that refuses to use any of the apps that are permitted in China, then the only way of being contacted is via a phone call.

Of course, even if the person phoning was unaware of your location, the Chinese government certainly would!

That's a discussion you'll need to have with 'Sperg'. All I will say is that 'Sperg' is the character with a tendency to indulge in harmless, comedic, mischievous antics, and you're the character that sometimes despairs (in a non-threatening comedic way) and shouts "NO!" when you think he's pushing his luck.  

Of course, I'm just basing this belief of mine on recent-ish observations I've made. 

Do you want to be Ren or Stimpy?

Is it our future?

Well, no - I very much doubt it.  That said, your dream is a far most creative, interesting and uplifting vision of the future compared to what my nihilistic tendencies envisage.  I hope I dream of your SPDEB and derring-do as I now head to bed. Sleep tight mate.

chimera

I once had a dream happening in an universe, where humans encountered other races, and together created a civillization spanning millions of planets. 

You would think a paradise future, alas no, far from it. Distrust and enmity never left universe, it went into hiding, So it became obvious that there was a need for a Special Police Department, Exogenetic Bureau.

I was Commander of one of it's units, leading a stealth attack on smuggler's den, only to realise in the end, I wasn't a human, I was a hybrid, a chimera, all member of my unit were mixes as well.

Is it our future?

Only if I can be Hutch.....or Perky....or Dempsey !

"Phones" ?  Are you mad?  Nobody uses the telephone to talk - they would insta-book-face-tag-app you - and you would already know where they were because of the geo-tick-waze-ANPR-CCTV-swipe Linked in thingy.

Darn! I wanted to quote part of your reply to Mariusz, but for some reason, NAS isn't letting me, so I'll have to copy and paste:

I do consider Isperg to be a friend - I'm only joshing around here for comedic effect (hopefully)!

For what it's worth, I feel that may be stating the obvious. 

I have said this to 'Sperg' and I'll say it you Number, I think the pair of you make a good double-act. 

Taking your order;

I do consider Isperg to be a friend - I'm only joshing around here for comedic effect (hopefully)!

I have never wanted a Bentley - too ostentatious for my taste.

I NEVER want stuff that other people generally have or aspire to - I'm different almost ALL the time.

I love that phrase - herring / keg.

My profile picture is an enigma, a chimera - it has meaning to some, and not to others.

Fun fact: In China, one's social standing increases when something is new (according to an ex-boyfriend of mine that now lives there). No jokes please that the reason for him being there was probably to get as far away from me as possible. 

As I was saying... In the UK, it would generally be considered a good thing to live in (for example) a spacious home that may have been built more than a century ago. In China, it's the opposite. A newly-built apartment that may be considerably smaller than an older home one has moved from is better.

Also, if someone phones asking if you fancy meeting up for a bite to eat, in China this does not mean at some point in the future that has yet to be arranged. Everything apparently happens NOW, meaning the person issuing the invitation is most likely already outside your home waiting for you. Yes, I know, it sounds like a nightmare!
