Ofcom have cleared Piers Morgan for saying on GMTV he doesn't believe a word MM says

Ooops - wrong thread, sorry!

Lucca

Well there you peckingbird, I thought I was.

Are you being insulting Lucca ?
The poster’s name is tickingbird

The usual pile on by a few posters who absolutely must have their own way.

Jennifer ? I had forgotten those daft incidents from the lockdown.
I’m not a Piers Morgan fan but he is entitled to his opinion on TV ( so many people agree with him on that too ) so the right judgement in my view.

^I did laugh at your “they shoot you down if you go outside after 9pm” comment nanna8 !^
It's not funny, though! Australian police are using tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets on citizens - unheard of in Australia.

I wonder what Australian citizens think of this?

Not a lot from what I'm hearing, lemongrove.

Not that any of mine have been involved (not as yet, anyway!).

Lemongrove 19.20, I wondered about that too.

It’s a childish attempt to be insulting and not the first time she’s done it. Pretty pathetic and rather cringeworthy.

I got told off and called a pedant the other day for correcting another poster's typos.

Seems I got off easy. ?

Bit of a stretch for a typo.

Have you seen some of the variations on "Alegrias"? Or the time I sent a couple of hours addressing Growstuff as Growbags

Have I made that mistake before? Really ? How weird

Ok in that case I apologise profusely mistake . Brain elsewhere these last few days

I don't understand what is wrong with a pecking bird compared to a ticking bird people often refer to me a Judge Jane, t makes me feel rather whiggish

Thanks judgeJudy.

No I’m a bit bemused as birds peck don’t they ? I just read it as pecking bird much as when shops are being refurbished and I always read the sign about the workmen as shoplifters instead of shopfitters….

A bit late to this. I don't like Piers Morgan but I defend his right to his opinions as I do for anyone even if they have views that differ from mine.

Isn't ticking what they traditionally made deckchairs out of?

I think it is that thick stripey material on mattresses and old fashioned pillows.

Yes I think ticking was on feather pillows/mattresses.

Lucca Disingenuous as well as snide. Previously when you’ve referred to me as peckingbird it’s been when you’ve joined in a pile on when I’ve been having a heated discussion with another poster. Bizarre!!

I did an analysis. Behold.

10 posts from tickingbird, 12 posts from me including 2 responding to specific comments from theworriedwell

Couple of posts from Lucca asking people to be nice. One apologising for getting someone's name wrong. Couple each from Summerlove, Lemongrove and Namsnanny

At what point does an evenly balanced discussion become a pile on? Asking for a friend.

I wish I had a life. sigh.

I genuinely have no recollection of doing so.

I have apologised.

You have come back and called me disingenuous.

No more to be gained by continuing.

(but thanks Alegrias1 )

I’m going back on what I said ..I have something more to say. What exactly is wrong with
“pecking” anyway ??

"Pecking" isn't that to do with giving a quick kiss usually on the check or neck?

Lucca What exactly is wrong with

Nothing wrong with pecking. It’s the (deliberate?) misspelling of my name that’s wrong. You’ve done it before and on each occasion you’ve made this “mistake” it’s been during a particularly robust discussion I’ve been having with someone else. Another poster asked if you were being insulting. I’ll leave it there.

I wish I had a life. sigh

Many a true word said in jest.
