have any of you sanded a floor? I have already several posts off a bloke in north america who Michael has thankfully deleted but I need a bit of help it is the home section
you can call by whatever name you like

I think sanding a floor is a job where quite quickly you wish you’d never started (rather like this thread..)

Alegrias1

Yes miss

Good.

Oh, just give over, the lot of you!

I have no idea what you’re referring to Lucca. If you’ve been engaged in your ‘expert analysis’ again you haven’t done very well.

I think “don’t give up the day job” is the go to phrase but carry on. I’ll pop back later to see what other snippets you’ve dug out. It’s fascinating

Not me. Did you mean alegrias1?

I don't have a day job any more. Do you have any more relevant advice for me? I'll pop back later and see if you've managed to stay away

The fact that you thought I was being serious about you having time for a day job just finishes the conversation off nicely don’t you think?

Or, no - wait - did you get my name wrong on purpose?

Were you being insulting?

I'm mortally offended...

I think you're mixing me up with Lucca.

Lucca What exactly is wrong with
pecking” anyway

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.

Gosh, GNHQ must have been fastidious in deleting all those occurrences.

I'll leave that there.

?‍♀️

I wish I had a life. sigh

Many a true word said in jest.

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

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

^Have I made that mistake before? Really ? How weird^

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

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 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 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.

Yes I think ticking was on feather pillows/mattresses.

JaneJudge

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

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

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.

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….
