Are you being insulting Lucca
The poster’s name is tickingbird
It’s a childish attempt to be insulting and not the first time she’s done it. Pretty pathetic and rather cringeworthy.

Have I made that mistake before? Really ? How weird

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

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

Bit of a stretch for a typo.

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

Seems I got off easy. ?

Lemongrove 19.20, I wondered about that too.

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

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

^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?

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.

Lucca

Well there you peckingbird, I thought I was.

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

Ooops - wrong thread, sorry!

And so it goes on.

If I was having a conversation with somebody, and decided to say to them, "well I don't think what you do in your life is very interesting and I'm leaving now because I have much better things to do
Oh dear Alegrias. Talk about clutching at straws! I wasn’t having any conversation with you and have no idea what you do in your life apart from posting on here and searching google for ‘facts’. I was accused of being thick basically because I do have better things to do and coming out on top here really ranks very low on my priorities. Strange that you find that so offensive.

Lucca My point exactly Actually you weren’t making any point - I was!

Anyway must dash - friend’s birthday bash tonight. She’s 60 and having a do. Should be fun.

I'd forgotten all about those things JenniferEccles
Free speech has to be supported.
Or we will be living in an echo chamber.

Things didn’t get quite that bad here in the UK but we have had our moments.

During the first lockdown last Spring drones were used to spot hapless dog walkers on deserted moors, then the police ordered them home. We have always been permitted daily exercise outside during every lockdown.
Then pensioners were turfed off park seats if they dared to sit down for a short breather.

Oh yes and then there were the two young women out for a permitted walk but they were sent home as the takeaway coffees they were carrying apparently constituted a picnic which was verboten!
Fortunately the press got to hear of those cases and all that nonsense did stop.

I think virtually every country has suffered to a greater or smaller extent if that’s a comfort to you.

At least here we were always ‘allowed’ out for a daily walk unlike the Spanish and Italians who were confined to barracks !

Sorry that was nothing to do with this thread!
I am most definitely on Piers Morgan’s side.

Having something better to do’ is usually seen as an admission of defeat in a debate by the more combative, have the last word type of poster

My point exactly.

Yes I do nanna8?
I'm doing Important things myself, ie cleaning up the lawn (inbetween the showers) after we dog sat for a couple of days.
Checking I ordered the right sized bra and reading gn

What's the point in arguing with an anonymous poster on line when any life beckons?

Well there’s nothing much on the telly, we are not allowed to go out in Miserable Melbourne because of a curfew where they shoot you down if you go outside after 9 pm so I am doing this because I have a boring life just now ….hope you feel sorry for me because I sure as hell do.

If I was having a conversation with somebody, and decided to say to them, "well I don't think what you do in your life is very interesting and I'm leaving now because I have much better things to do";

I think that would be considered rude and insulting, wouldn't you?

Why is life being a whirl seen as superior anyway, I am sat on the sofa, watching the rain and messing about on the internet. I am very happy about that. Tomorrow I may go out and do something thrilling. One is not more superior than the other.

Okey doke tickingbird, I think we all understand now that your life is a social whirl.

The fact that anyone might think that Summerlove was being serious really just finishes the conversation off nicely here, doesn't it?
