Food banks in 2014! What has gone wrong?

She's not called Lona!!! Lara! shock

I am so sorry Lona*!!! xxx

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 08-Mar-14 14:48:42

I get muddled up with the two names. blush

The post came on a bit strong and was rather insulting to another poster, accusing them of a ' me me me' attitude.

However there have been worse in the past!

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 08-Mar-14 14:53:57

Oh, you can't call that a personal attack. Just the way conversations go. (Get a bit heated sometimes)

Daft.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 08-Mar-14 14:55:59

I'm glad they didn't get a gong now. [Nose thumbing emoti]

No, I really don't seem to understand the rules. Giving up Gransnet for Lent.

petallus Sat 08-Mar-14 15:46:04

Daft yourself jingle!

grin

It's one of the hazards of contradicting someone on GN. They get their knickers in a twist and report it!

Aka Sat 08-Mar-14 16:02:53

Don't go giving up GN Dragon. It's more a case of 'if you can stand the heat why are you waving that frying pan about'!

Dragonfly1 Sat 08-Mar-14 16:07:43

Oh, ok. Maybe I'll stay in the playground then. Quietly. Up a corner. Don't want to get reported. Life's tough enough without being deleted.

Ana Sat 08-Mar-14 16:14:45

As if you would be, Dragonfly1! grin

Lona Sat 08-Mar-14 16:35:43

jings grin Don't get your knickers in a twist!

I typed 'knockers' then by mistake hmm

Ana Sat 08-Mar-14 16:41:36

Could be painful! shock

Galen Sat 08-Mar-14 16:42:38

I must say, the idea of jingle with her kno kerbs in a twist! made me giggle!

Galen Sat 08-Mar-14 16:43:20

I typed knockers! What has got into our devices?

Ariadne Sat 08-Mar-14 17:17:43

I have not liked the vituperative and insulting (tautology??) comments aimed at GNetters who did not agree with a poster, which is why I have only read the later posts on this thread, and not joined in until now. I did not read *Aka's post, so cannot comment.

It all rather sad.

Nelliemoser Sat 08-Mar-14 17:34:49

Ariadne I think you can probably just about be vituperative without being insulting. It probably depends on who or what you are talking to/about. Saved from any Tautological pedants for now. wink

Aka Sat 08-Mar-14 17:36:52

I rarely get reported....must try harder grin

Dragonfly1 Sat 08-Mar-14 17:44:24

Perhaps that should be the new daft game?

Ariadne Sat 08-Mar-14 17:46:14

aka I was most certainly not referring to you as "vituperative"! I don't know what you said, but I was referring to generalised comments about us as a whole.

Nonu Sat 08-Mar-14 17:47:50

AKA MINX

LAUGH!!

Ariadne Sat 08-Mar-14 17:49:59

confused

Charleygirl Sat 08-Mar-14 17:54:32

This post has drifted away from Hungry Britain!

Nonu Sat 08-Mar-14 18:02:03

Well after 423 posts , it is slightly inevitable !!
wink

Ariadne Sat 08-Mar-14 18:18:44

Only if it is diverted.
