I have no ****ing clue what you're on about.

You take this place far too seriously...Go outside, get a job or do something ffs <doh>

So not a denial...followed by a deflective bite. As for a job im fine thanks, unlike you living in a shack and wetting yourself with excitement because you can see the gherkin hahahaha
 
I think I've just met Mrs.Toby !
We've ( that's Mrs. alwaysright and I - not me and Mrs.Toby ! ), have just returned from the supermarket. As we entered the store, a woman emerged, pushing a trolley full of groceries. In the baby seat was -- a baby. It couldn't have been more than a year old.
The woman stopped walking. Looked around and then said " I've forgotten where I parked the car." She continues to peer across the horizon of the car park - then turns to her child and asks " Can you remember where I parked the car ? "

Personally, I would say 'litany of ignoring me' is stilted.

A litany mostly - but not always - applies to plural nouns, verbs etc., as in a litany of complaints.

I believe Dev used the word as a dragnet; he wanted to encompass the amount of times Toby has issued a threat of ignoration.

The construction is undoubtedly clumsy, but I can understand the meaning - albeit with some difficulty.

An uneasy draw.

Not quite Ponders, what i actually said was
5 posts and counting in your litany of "ignoring" me.

I think it works and is quite acceptable in grammatical terms, even though some don't understand what was actually said, as some have a habit of 'quote mining'.

That's not how the word or the English language works.

Keep on trying though <rofl>

Sad, desperate, lonely old man.

Litany - tedious recital or repetitive series

...so sez the Oxford English Dictionary and I think those guys would know.

Therefore, I rule in favour of Dev. Thread closed.
