Who is the most typical person on ILE?

And - invent a completely generic, typical ILE-er - what would they be like?

This thread was Nick's idea.

i'm not sure i follow thomas...is there a pre-existing ile archetype?

Don't blame me - I was inspired by Paul McCartney's 'Average Person' - the killer cut off 'Pipes of Peace'.

― Nick, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like the sound of the inspiration.

Lazy, over-educated and watching his back at work.

Or is that just me?

― Will McKenzie, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think Will's just about got it, really.

Spot on, Will, except I don't think a person can have too much education.

― Madchen, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

perhaps it should be amended to, "over-educated for their current position of employment."

― jess, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sounds like me all right. Yay!

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Or unemployment.

― Bill, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Madchen and Jess - spot on! 'Over-educated for their post'. Absolutely. Isn't it terrible how we're forced to concentrate so hard on such trivial stuff?

From Woolf and Shakespeare and Donne and Apollinaire to filing and office politics and team-building... sigh.

― Will McKenzie, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought it'd be a tart.

― Ally, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I love the idea of a New Yorker calling somebody a 'tart'

― Will McKenzie, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why?

― Ally, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Simply I had no idea it was US (NY?) slang in the same way that it was in UK slang (in UK/London can also mean idiot/plonker).

God. I've now got this mental image of this Tony Soprano type saying, 'Look, Antonio, I res-pect the fayam-i-leee but I had to whack 'im becorse 'e w's bein' a tahhrt, a plornka, waddya drinkin', Trig?'

― Will McKenzie, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Now that's just silly.

― Ally, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm lazy, over-educated and under-utilised by my own design.

― james, Thursday, 11 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I prefer the tart description myself.

EXPANDED PAPER? Fuck that. It monitored possibly, in order to wash its bridge of jock or helps to apply to glad treetree tree at the short electric circuits rookie or to somewhat that is as more useful, which does to it in the past, decoration. It is farcical, is it an accident of the tape, is it reviled by the whole of the important baseball of the league, designates the assembly of the nation of Sox of the red to hang over general donkeys of its Everett lovin ', and it would like to become? Lighting up. If the owners really require "ILE TYPICAL GUY" "ILE TYPICAL GUY" Fuck for mentioned above for equipment, they must umwerben or use Allard Baird far of the Royals the control Bonifay (preceding Piraten GR. / genius, which the Bell and "ILE TYPICAL GUY" thought on Terry of the company Mullholland and on Derek on the contracts of the multi-yearly knock, was an elegant movement). Right return of "ILE TYPICAL GUY" its wheels for the number of X von Jahren.
