I’m dying laughing at this thread, and feel slightly guilty about that, and then I just wipe my eyes and think “fuck it” and laugh some more.
I’m the bigger cunt. No, really. I am! Me! Me!
… and it’s not even a slow work day here.
Dear god I’m having flashbacks to that nice sweet Glaswegian stewardess on the flight to Venice a few years ago. She might as well have been speaking Martian for all I understood her.
Yeah, I’m really sorry I even doubted her now that the Mighty Sock Hunter has set me straight.
Tell you what, if she’s really from Glasgow, I’ll meet her tomorrow afternoon. I’ve no plans, and I need to visit Rutherglen anyway.
jaymac1, how about it?
I prefer “right proper cunt” or I don’t respond at all.
Umkay herself stretched credibility to the breaking point even before there was “proof”. The fact that an almost identical OP was written by jaymac1 takes that thin strand of credibility, cuts it, burns it in a fire and then spreads the ashes over the ocean she crossed for her new home.
I find it much easier to believe that a troublemaking bored troll moved to the UK than that this is a real poster.
Kindness may direct you to giving her the benefit of the doubt but please, for the love of all that’s sane in this world, please tell me you at least are harbouring doubts.
I was with you right until I saw “gorilla”.
You see, I am a Navy Seal and I can confirm that we spell it “geurella”.
No, I meant gorilla.
I fight gorillas.
I doubt it. This is all armchair psychology, obviously, but I think it was someone with nothing in particular going on in his/her life - not someone with access to lots of money and world travel.
Fucking devotees.
I know, sexy right?
QFT.
This person is not Scottish. That said, there is an outside chance that we have a real paraplegic going around the internet pretending to be Scottish.
Dammit. I always come on too strong.
Hey Ambivalid, how **you **doin’?!
Or that there’s another trouble-making troll in the UK. It seems quite possible that this could be a different person who watched the previous fiasco unfold and thought it would be amusing to see what happened if a stranger popped in saying the same things Umkay said before.
Or someone learned how to fake an IP address.
I don’t believe for a minute that she’s a wheelchair-bound paraplegic. I also don’t believe for a minute that she’s umkay.
Maybe. But I am not overburdened with faith in the average internet user. Faking an IP I could buy. Faking an IP that matches the region of the accent they’re trying to fake? Less believable.
If you’re asking me- like I said, I am not (and can’t) vouch for jaymac1, so I’m not encouraging anybody to take her at face value. That’s for people to decide on their own. I’d suggest people be careful about making accusations and maybe not do it just because they’re bored or want to be first. But I will say the “she’s umkay!” thing is kind of ludicrous. There are plenty of message boards out there and there’s a good chance “she” is doing her thing at one of them, but I doubt she’s back here telling the same story people stopped believing a year ago.
Putting on a bad accent and poorly researched story to try and match the IP address you managed to fake? I can buy.
But our new friend, and my alleged neighbour has gone very quiet - jaymac1, are you watching Eastenders or something?
What about faking the accent of a region they’re faking? Maybe it’s a double-bluff and she’s actually Scottish but still faking the accent?
