Not to come and ruin his fun, but the way I read it he left his parents house at 24. He's like more than 30 now. He blocked me on FB so can't tell exactly how old he is, but he's definitely an old guy. In your defense he could've made it more clear by phrasing it "left the nest aged 24", but us nerds gots to have some fun, and speaking in archaic ways are one source of that.
In conclusion I want to share this story with you.
A guy walks into a bar, System-J is the bartender. He sees a sign over
the counter that says "Cheese Sandwich £1,50, Handjobs £10"
He says to System-J, "Are you the one who gives the handjobs?".
"Yes, I am," answers System-J and the guy says "Well, wash your hands bitch, I want a cheese sandwich".
Good night! |

What the are you talking about? I know exactly how old Lira is, to the day, and I know it isn't 24.

Swing and a miss. When was the last time anyone gave you a handjob, IGK? |

:p
It's just the culture, really. The sheer fact I left home some 5 years before I got married (living in the same city as my parents, no less) is quite an aberration here. I did, by the way, try to leave earlier. But, the economy here doesn't help, and an early launch would equal being poor for the rest of my life. |

Ok, in that case your comment makes little sense. Because of your improper use of tense. Bleep bloop I am a robot.
A farmer goes into the bedroom. Under his arm he's carrying a sheep.
In the bed sleeps System-J. "LOOK!! HERE'S THE PIG I'VE BEEN ING!" yells the farmer. "You dumbass," says System-J, "that's a sheep you're holding!". The farmer replies "SHUT THE UP, I WAS TALKING TO THE SHEEP!" |

I didn't make any improper use of tense. I used "you" in the universal sense, in the same way "one" can be used as a pronoun if one would like to make oneself sound like the Queen. It was completely clear from the conversation that Lira no longer lives with his parents, and so my response quite clearly did not refer to him specifically.
Why do you insist on trying to correct my language use? Is English even your native language? You're the one who's too ing stupid to understand what I wrote and yet you'll and try and blame my language use rather than admit to your own abject reading comprehension. And now we can expect a typical alfi barrage of hyper-aggression as you try desperately to hide your humiliation. Complete Kruger-Dunning victim. |

Just ignore him, mate. He's not singling you out, he does it with everyone... amusingly, he seems to target native speakers most of the time. Didn't he try to correct Brian (Vector A) a while back as well?
Although, if you read it all again, he's likely to blame me for the confusion (because I wrote "age 24" rather than as "aged 24") again. |

That was pretty ing brilliant. Could've toned down the supergay a tad though, but I guess maybe they're trying to invoke some of the imaging from Silence of the Lambs.. ? lol
Brian goes to a whorehouse, but he only has $2. So they tell him "Go to the last room upstairs, we have a dead hooker".
And comes back down a while later and he goes "It was great! The only problem was her nose kept running." And they say "Oh, she's probably full." |
