Ken....
The word 'rubbish' can mean just that...rubbish ie garbage...but in this case...[as when used amongst friends]...it is a 'given' that they don't mean it...quite the opposite in fact...!
When i see something obviously brilliant i say..."thats really sh*t"...and my friends will know that i mean the exact reverse...[of course if you don't know how certain people behave verbally then this can easily be misconstrude...as very rude]...
ps...i hope that makes sense...most of what i say doesn't....:smoke:

Thanks for the explanation user. I'm afraid that I have my own sense of humor that is so dry it passes most people by. Some people would say that qualifies as NO sense of humor. In any case I did realize that Tim et al. were kidding and didn't take it as some sort of sudden and unexplained rudeness from Tim. I tried to carry it one step further by pretending that I didn't understand it, etc., etc. I need to remember that there is a reason for emoticons and that I should use them more!!:bounce::bounce:
