You didn't. He didn't say you did. You shouldn't be so quick to either insult or feel insulted.

Indeed. And you're right in thinking that I wouldn't get a sensible answer. I thought I would try anyway, but just got an insult in return.

You've not followed the conversation, the poster was trying to deny that "trough" was an insult. I make no comment as to whether the insult is justified or not, indeed, explained that truth is no defence in this matter.

If your closet mate cannot tell you some home truths, what hope do ye have?

Just thinking about this and it occurs to me that the new Ambassador has a cast iron position because if he resigns as well before the negotiations get underway that will be a crisis for the Government
So if he asks what Number 10's plans are they'd better well tell him ! |

Well ye have decided to get off the bus, you're not getting a ticket refund or any special allowances for using the service so long. You'll be given scraps and with your intent on leaving you'll have no recourse.

The irony of somebody from Ireland, a country so well and truly mugged by the ECB, Commission and Merkel, is extraordinary!

Given his age, I expect he will have a nice fat civil service pension to fall back on.

So if he asks what Number 10's plans are they'd better well tell him ! The problem appears to be with those supposedly negotiating a possible exit from the EU. Quote:
Sir Nigel Sheinwald said this week’s resignation of his successor Sir Ivan Rogers was a “real loss” for Britain’s ability to strike a good Brexit deal, and insisted the prime minister needs to set out a clear negotiating position quickly and stop a small team of Downing Street advisers from running all negotiations.
“You’ve got a new ambassador to the EU and there appear to be some tensions between our Brussels office and the department leading the Brexit effort in Whitehall led by David Davis. That clearly is a very very important axis of what should be cooperation,” Sheinwald said. |

I followed the conversation, people were raising objections and queries relating to use of the word 'trough' being used to describe a dummy-spitting official and anything following on from that is merely an alternative wording of "so what?".

So pensions are also now a bad thing if 'the wrong person' gets them? Don't worry though, give the Tories a few years of post Brexit and you will be waiting til 75 for your pension. 😂

The word "dummy-spitting" implies that the former ambassador's remarks were childish in some way. ...

I never realised there had to be literal accuracy in these things, what about the toys and prams one, is that to be limited to those commenting about goods transport...?

No, they will read 'tantrum' or 'lost temper' 'not-pleased person' or if they are a full-on Deanna Troi 'I am sensing there may be a description of an act or statement of some annoyance here'.
