No, its likely you will need things like a computer as well.


Here's a question for you...

A person has a question/query for the sharp minds at betfair forum. Innocently enough, thinking most of these sharp minds have already cracked the enigma code whilst cooking a truffle souffle and knocking one off to a bit of internet pawn at the same time, He feels no need to bother them with such things as background info or explanations.

So our intrepid questioner assembles a mere 11 words ( including an attepmt at grattitude ) in his post and merrily sits back expecting a veritable plethora of responses from the nobel prize winners that frequent this forum.

Your question, my dear wasnot, is.....

When the questioner returns 2 days later, crestfallen that his epic 11 word tome has garnered zilcho-nada-nil point ( French accent required ) Resonses

Should he ?

A) emigrate to the welsh hills and vent his frustration by fingering the four legged blondes that roam provocatively in those areas.

B) Elucidate more copiously, pour forth from the font of his angst, a veritable paragraph or five on the nature of his stymie. In order that he might dislodged the gem of knowledge from the knowledgeable, that he so plainly desires.

C) Post a short terse sarcastic response to his own question, With a smiley face ( oh how sweet, (but it looks unhappy) Oh how sad )

D) use google


Well my Dear, Dear wasnotttty, You appear to have choosen 'C' which is not what I have on my answer card I'm sorry. Better Luck next time. I hope you enjoyed yourself on betfair's quiz of the week.



Next contestant please.................

Simple enough request for ideas regarding inputting of bets via a programmable keyboard.  I've helped enough people on here with similar.  It must have taken you 10 mins to type that sarcastic bile escapee.  I take it you have nothing positive to add.  How sad.

Wasnot,
please accept my sincerest appology. It was not my intention to make a fool of you, nor see you make a fool of yourself by missing my point entirely.

I admit I wrapped my advice up in  flipant over flowery prose, but  I did not seek to confound and confuse and I'm somewhat saddened that I appear to have achieved both.

I ask you to quell you wrath for a momment (and in attempt to enlighten you to my heartfelt humblest appology).
I can see you are not a man for extraneous or verbose sentences, so I shall spell my point out to in the simplest of words our great language has to offer.

Put More Effort Into your Posts And You Will Get More Responses

And there you have it, the intended advice of my previous post in naked dumbed down English.

I hope these words are enough to disembowel from your mind any thoughts I was of mal-intent.




I shall leave you with a smiley face as I can see you like these

Oh and a serious answer to your original question.
(and as a tribute to your minimalist posting style I shall reduce the answer just 3 letters )

Sarcasm aside, Escapee is correct.  If you provide a little more information as to exactly what you want it for, somebody may present a solution to you which you may have not thought of yourself.

"Next time I will assume the position before posting"

Hey Wasnot,
Seriously, I am not and never have been, having a dig at you.

Get down to a faqing dermatologist ASAP your skin is too thin.

You crypticaly asked a question on an internet forum.
Not only did you get your question answered but you got extra advice on how
to gain knowledge and speak to people thru the internet. BOGOF as they say in tesco's

So stop with this "I'm a victim, you're all out to rape me crap"

Maybe ask your internet provider about 'parental controls' if you think I am stepping over the line here.



Chilax, you'll enjoy life a whole lot more if you do.
