Sorry! I'm a fool

Hello all
I'm mortified regarding my behaviour yesterday.
I'm full of painkillers and I had a drink, or several.
I literally cannot walk, and I'm scared.
This does not excuse what a tit I was yesterday.
Please forgive me, I am honestly a decent person
I hope to come back, because you are are all so lovely xx

Quite a few here should be regulars to The Argy?
Surely the correct saying btw is a ‘tart in a trance’ not a tit.?

Fanny don’t worry about it, I didn’t spot any of your posts, but maybe you were saying what the rest of us were thinking?

I often write a long reply then don’t post it, sometimes it’s enough to just write it down, then I find that someone else has said the same thing. So I don’t feel so bad at what I was thinking.

Maybe don’t do GN and alcohol at the same time though.

I missed the posts you refer to Fanny but in my book a sincere apology is always accepted.

Remove the hair shirt now and have a good day!

^ Maybe don’t do GN and alcohol at the same time though.^ great advice Oopsadaisy! It’s always the best time to step away from the keyboard.

Urms you should see what I write in reply to some posts after a G and T, thankfully I don’t post them, if I’m on my second the iPad goes in the drawer....

I didn't see it but - you're allowed to be human. :-)

Invite someone in for a coffee as I suspect you would be better chatting to a person than all the cyber friends on here . Lots of people on their own may provide empathy and while away an afternoon discussing common problems . Boredom and isolation don't help pain and then we turn to food / drink / both . I am taking your post seriously and don't find the situation you are in amusing but there is a lot you can do to help it.

Its not a drink or two with me, its not having my glasses on because once again they are lost in the mountain of stuff in this house. Shame I missed the fun if you kick off again please me know i need some fun in my life.

Marydoll Sat 10-Oct-20 10:18:26

It actually wasn't funny at all.
That's all I'm saying. Otherwise it becomes a thread about a thread.
Little thought has been shown to the poster on the receiving end of the comments. Please give some thought to her feelings .sad

It was not funny at all. Far from it.

I don’t know what was said or who was upset but agree with Mary doll that an apology. if sincerely meant, is the way to go.

seacliff Sat 10-Oct-20 11:11:04

I saw it and felt for the other poster. I agree with Marydoll.

Callistemon Sat 10-Oct-20 11:27:35

I didn't see anything (always out of the loop)

However, it may be deleted as a thread about a thread, so all you can do is apologise FannyC.

Jaxjacky Sat 10-Oct-20 12:00:19

Agree Marydoll.

LauraNorder I had a distant relative who was invited to become king of Albania. Is that big enough for you?

LauraNorder Sat 10-Oct-20 12:16:07

Elegran do tell.

dragonfly46 Sat 10-Oct-20 12:19:44

Fortunately I missed it all but an apology to the right quarter never goes amiss.

LauraNorder Sat 10-Oct-20 14:16:47

Oh dear, it seems one poster was rather mean and another poster suffered. The one who was apparently mean feels contrite and has apologised. A private message would be kind to encourage the other poster to return to gn.
A sincere apology and no repeat performance will allow everyone to move on.
Sorry if I was flippant earlier, hadn’t realised it was serious.
Line drawn I hope

Well, that must black cat everyone!
You could be a princess. ?

If the unhappy communication caused genuine upset & Fanny has apologised seems that is all that can be done.
We are all human and all mess up on occassions..unless there are saints on her?
I hope the person who was hurt by the remarks is ok.

PECS Sat 10-Oct-20 16:17:41

her = here!!!!

Aldom Sat 10-Oct-20 16:20:30

FannyCornforth comments were very hurtful. I saw them. Couldn't believe what I was reading. So, yes, an apology to the recipient of the unpleasant remarks would be appropriate.

BlueSky Sat 10-Oct-20 16:56:12

Who said what? I missed it all as usual. Could somebody enlighten me please?
