OT: help needing in getting help to cope with a mentally ill person

Not really with mind altering recreational drugs.

And expensive. You used to be able to buy bottles of 100 tablets with cotton wool in the top to stop them from rattling.

Not someone who is so clearly off his face that he can't construct a simple grammatical English sentence.

I don?t do illegal drugs, because the legal ones work fine for me and I haven't used any legal ones for more than 12 hours and didn?t use much of that even then.

There you go again, face down in the mud like with the stupid claims that I am a Guardian reader and a remoaner.

I think that you still can at a proper pharmacy.

No, I merely pointed out that you couldn't construct a basic sentence in English comprehensibly.

Fraid so.

Even a drug crazed drunken terminal such as yourself should be able to comprehend that sentence.

I still cannot comprehend that sentence Rodders, if you think it is comprehensible English you are further gone than I suspected.

What is a 'do you believe', and why would people here be it?

Your problem, as always.

Try this version.

How many of those who post here are, [spaced out on illegal drugs], do you believe ?

Even you can't actually be that brain dead.

We were discussing the drug crazed, f****it.

Why are you claiming that people here are f***ed up on illegal drugs, and why should I believe them if they are?

It still makes no sense even though it is now understandable English...

But wodders, that isn't what you wrote, there was no punctuation whatsoever, apart from a question mark, in what you originally wrote.

If you don't understand the purpose of punctuation in determining the meaning of a sentence, then you are either an utter moron or f***ed on drugs.

Even with punctuation, your sentence is now a ridiculous leading question. You can't possibly know how many people here are f***ed up on illegal drugs, and even if they are, their credibility is surely orthogonal to their chemical euphoria?

Have you considered taking 'English as a second language?'

I believe they are quite good on grammar and punctuation.

Then a short course on 'critical thinking' might enable you to pass as partially educated, at least...

Then you might be able to read the Guardian!

Plowman trolling:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Pointless, exactly the same as your trolling above.

Indeed. Boots used to sell bottles of 100 aspirin tabs for 85p. Now a pack of 16 is about 40p. The packaging costs more than the value of the tabs.

I never did any such thing.

YOU were running the line that all the politicians and civil servants and those that vote Tory are. I pointed out that that is unlikely and asked if YOU believe that any of those who post here are.

Irrelevant to what is being discussed, as always from you.

You never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag.

And all it took was a single comma with the context retained.

That is a bare faced lie with what was there before you deleted the entire context to attempt your usual childish attempt at an insult when your nose had been rubbed in the stupidity of your claim.

Yes, some do use illegal drugs, but as always, you radically overstated reality in another of your stupid rants.

Pathetic.

I never ever said I did, you pathetic excuse for a bullshit artist.

LSD is great fun. But I would not legalise it.

Really? I have found out why electrical apprentices became useless wankers. It's when they stopped asking work for false ID so they could go into town to get pissed and started drinking bottled water. Only one in the last 7 years has asked for false ID and he is the best we have ever had.

I like that noise. It means I am alive.

That's always a bad move

Hmm. That rather points to a lack of initiative in the others. I spent 4 years as an electrical engineering apprentice when the most noticeable intelligence marker was jumping into the cars at 10.30pm to move to a city pub where the closing time was 11.00!

OK. But you don't need deafening levels or the ability to hear your joints creaking when you move.

Educational:-) I was on a push bike at the time! I can say I have not had more than the equivalent of 2 normal pints since.

Sounds like Bristol in the early 70's, where we all charged over the suspension bridge to the George in Abbot's Leigh (then in Somerset).

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it will be freely available.

But given LSD is illegal, you managed to get it? So it being illegal didn't stop this?

But it did mean you were paying criminals. For a drug of totally unknown provenance.

Maybe it was given to him by someone he trusts?
