Re: Rebuilding the big 17
I've sold many boards and have many testimonials, if I post them feel free to ignore them using the usual excuse that they are not from pro surfers.
In fact my boards are very durable.

How very narcissistic. You love these forums, free publicity to flog your shit.

Yes, they are your honest opinions. But a opinions need have no veracity.
Roy speaks for himself, to himself and about himself.
Some buy it, some don't, the normal fate of any opinion in the end.
It's all tilting at windmills!
Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?

Only an uneducated person would say that, in fact using the third person is more polite, and more formal.Glamarama wrote:Roy_Stewart wrote:Any such research will show that Roy is a reasonable person who is insulted frequently on this forum and who expresses honest opinions.

Of course the lower orders tend to assume, incorrectly, that formal modes of speech are pretentious, therefore 'narcissistic'.
Re: Rebuilding the big 17
glamarama thinks this to be roy's most stupid statement written. however glamarama has read some of roy's other statements and this may only be just as stupid as those.
glamarama also thinks that speaking of oneself in the third person is best left to 3 year olds.
Glamarama thinks one other point
Illeism can be used to reinforce self-promotion.
Similarly illeism is used with an air of grandeur, to give the speaker lofty airs. Idiosyncratic and conceited people are known to either use or are lampooned as using illeism to puff themselves up or illustrate their egoism.
Glamarama says google it, Roy.

Ye, verily, methinks roi should speak in medieval tones to quell the spectre of his hobbitishness.

Re: Rebuilding the big 17
Writing in the third person is more formal and impersonal as stated previously.
In addition Roy was brought up to write and speak as his elders did, and was lampooned for having a 'plum in his mouth' even when at primary school.

Re: Rebuilding the big 17
Skipper feels sorry for Roy having become a surfer of the modern age channeling the spirit of a bygone era. You know, like a variation on the postcard....wish you were here. But more like - wish you were there! ....rather, like, you know, back then, like long ago. As in, get the fcuk back to another world or just fcuk off out of this one. Coz, seriously, with all that academic padding under your svelt belt, and a hideously magnified lack of a sense of humour, coupled with an unhealthy and oftentimes cloyingly churlish sense of self, bordering on pathologically self centred chronic egotism, your opinions on anything other than the current state of Roy's werld, woodwork, helmets, yellow steamers, waist high rollers and minibuses is , well , really just pointless. You can come off half baked, ranting and raving about the impropriety of a Shearer report, sighting disengenuity and poor form, or squawk half cocked about the temerity of a Carroll missive on any number of fronts, but the be all and end all Roy is that you just can't play the game. A little self effacement goes a hell of a long way on the internet.
Continue to play the honourable chav by all means. And, may i add, wear the slings and arrows of outrageous misappropriation with all the stoic Kiwi applommb you can muster under them skanky kaftans of yours.
But when all is sad and done you are Roy! And may the fortitude be with you.
Oh, and I hope your head gets better soon.

Re: Rebuilding the big 17
It seems that Roy's humour is a tad too dry for your level of understanding. He makes no promise to lower himself through Ockerisation of his posts now or in the future.
Re: Rebuilding the big 17
Ockerisation huh?
Tout va bien.
Tout va bien.
