They (Bea and David) are both 'guilty' of the same type of behaviour.. it's just Bea doesn't have the 'soft lad' angle going for her.. so it's going to look like she just kicked a defenceless puppy.
This is the same puppy who is quite aggressive in his bee-hatching and knows enough to exploit a situation by turning on fake tears.
I ain't buying it..
I dont think that has anything to do with it. She said he should have picked his battle wisely...I suspect thats something she wished she'd have done. Why else would she lie to everyone about what went on and accuse him of bullying?
I can admire any woman who can stand their ground and represent good morals but not on the back of lying and manipulating a situation.
Something she has done a few times now...
What has nothing to do with it? That every criticism levelled at Bea during that little exchange could be levelled at David.. even down to the fake tears and the righteous indignation. Take the words away for a moment.. because we know that as far as use of language is concerned she has the advantage.. and look at the behaviour.
They are not getting on. He irritates the shit out of her and she irritates the shit out of him. They argue.. so what.. big deal. However, it is taken as some grand David and Goliath battle because Bea is preceived to automatically have the upper hand because of her 'intellect' and background. David is perceived as some childlike daft lump who is on the back foot. Big bad Bea kicks ikkle puppy Dave.
Yet this is the same Dave who bee-hatches with a vengeance, has worked himself up into a lather over the food issue, says he can tackle Marcus because he is 'a feisty queen' and while he may appear 'soft' he isn't and has himself said that he is not one to be messed with.
You'll be telling me he truly believes that the whole of the US go about their business as if they are in Grease the movie next.
He's not as daft as he'd have us believe. Nor is he as vulnerable as some here would perhaps like to think.
What I meant was that David wasnt playing the dumb card during the arguement!
If you read back I have already acknowleded that they irritate the shit out of each other and dont get on. At least he didnt need to go off, lie and try to rally others into his battle.
Lets take the words away. Bea went away from the argument...lied to Marcus about what went on, then went back in to try and stick the boot in when Marcus was already havin a go!
David may have been after some sympathy, but he wasnt trying to round up a lynch mob. I dont particulary like either of them...but I think she came out of this worse. My opinion.
Incidently I have never bought either parties intelligence into this argument, apart from to say that David was the only one to show any intelligence in walking away from the confrontation with Bea and Marcus.
I wont be telling you that David thinks anyones life is like a Grease movie...because I dont think he does
DOH!
