Not for nothing

[Abby Normal]

Hi Abby,

I would appreciate if you do not interpret the purposes of my texts in the wrong way. Thank you.

Best wishes, Pierre

Oh so sorry Pierre.
Maybe if you would explain what the revelance of your entire thread is-you know, posted in the motive... section, then we would not have to try and guess what the **** your talking about.

hi andy as ive mentioned before pierre has found something where his "suspect" used the phrase and thinks its similar enough to the GSG wording as to point to as evidence of his guilt.

Are they not just sort of everyday expressions though Harry?
They all simply mean that there is a price involved in a particular circumstance,
Hardly "Victorian"..
I would honestly like to see where Pierre is going with it, but its just pratting about with semantics isn't it?

Harry, I *like* being silly!

You are right, and you prove my point for me. People can't help themselves. Maybe the mods should help them. It would certainly be easier to ignore his provocations if he were no longer able to post them in the first place.

An inadvertent typo has just revealed that 'certain' is an anagram of 'a cretin'. An epiphany!

Pierre has repeatedly shown himself to be almost comically bad when it comes to textual analysis.

He's a charlatan, a fraud, a fake, and a timewaster.

MODS - why let this hypocritical deceitful oaf ruin the boards any longer?

To cite good old King Lear, Nothing will come of nothing. But he then urges Cordelia to 'speak again'. I, on the other hand, urge our Pierre to put a sock in it.

Don't be silly.

Casebook loves Pierre. That's why he concurrently has four active threads on the go. People could just ignore him and refuse to indulge his ramblings if they really thought so little of him but it seems to me they can't help themselves.

[GUT]

Probably not but that's not going to stop me requesting.

Good.

Main reason I don't think it will happen, is I don't believe he genuinely has a suspect, not much else about him seems genuine. Look how often he's changed his area of so called expertise. Look at how often he has said "I know something no one else knows"?

Go back and read his first thread "I think I've found him" and all the promises that he only needed one more bit of "data" (as he called it when he was pretending to be a scientist) and then look at how little he has told s since.

Just BS everything he posts.

It'll never happen.

I started coming back to the forums when our friend Pierre was on extended leave - possibly for mental health reasons. Now he's back, playing his imbecile games and wasting the boards' time and energies again, while contributing nothing.

The phrase 'not for nothing' is extremely common, used widely in English, and no clues will be gleaned from citing examples of its use. (And if you think that's not so, go do your own research, stop getting others to do it for you. Lazy git.)

The phrase also appears nowhere in the GSG. End of story. 'Nothing' is - to this day - used widely as a hideous substitute for 'anything' by the slovenly inbred creatures who populate the East End - as I, an inhabitant of that cesspit, can happily confirm.

Pierre stop pissing about and name your suspect.

Staying out of most of these threads at present as busy writing up stuff.

However the term "not for nothing" which Pierre as strangely introduced is neither cockney or general London in usage or history.
It appears to be a rather general term, basically mean there is a good reason for.

In addition I have to agree with others here that I do not see the relevance to this particular part of the forum.

I do wish Pierre that you would be more open with the forum in general and say what you are looking at. I for once have no idea!

Because Pierre has a found something that his suspect wrote that uses the phrase not for nothing.

the silence is deafening.

is this true pierre? did your suspect use that phrase?
