That's a bum, can anyone cut and paste or something the manifesto that took me blood sweat and tears to do this morning please!!!???

Chewbacca Fri 12-May-17 23:49:11

Thanks Jalima! Didn't know I was that old!
The silly, meaningless insults and sniping on these threads are really wearying, aren't they? What could be an involved discussion, always descends into fish wife spats and demands for people to explain themselves, especially if an opinion differs from the mainstream. Hurling insults like bratish children and then feigning innocence. It is a type of bullying and is, most definitely, not ladylike!

Thanks anniebach and Jalima. And Chewbacca smile

There have certainly been some odd posts tonight from some quarters.

We should all be allowed to have different views on politics without all this kind of 'malice aforethought' hmm

Jalima1108 Fri 12-May-17 23:36:18

I am sure most six year olds would know who Chewbacca is
hmm

But you're doing extremely well for a person of about 237 years old Chewbacca.

Chewbacca Fri 12-May-17 23:35:33

How old is feel depends on how much wine I've had

I'm guessing quite a few! grin

Jalima1108 Fri 12-May-17 23:31:53

She defends anyone being bullied, has a great sense of humour , doesn't live for political threads but joins in many threads ,and she can laugh at herself , what more could we ask of a member of this forum,

I agree with that description anniebach

I'm being kind.
No, actually, you're not daphnedill

Your post is obsessively demanding that someone talks sense because they do not comply with your demands and answer your questions.
That is not kind and it is not even polite.
And definitely not the behaviour of a 'lady' whatever that definition means.

durhamjen Fri 12-May-17 23:30:46

Oh, well, chewbacca, you've read the whole of this thread, all 130 posts, so you must know everything that's been said.

I don't know any six year olds who know anything about bacca. How old I feel depends on how much wine I've had.

Chewbacca Fri 12-May-17 23:27:03

They don't Jalima! grin

Jalima1108 Fri 12-May-17 23:25:00

I'm too much of a lady to say what I think of you.
I am a lady. grin
^They're too much up their own backsides^
Well, you've confused me a bit there daphnedill, I didn't think 'ladies' used terms like that

Anniebach Fri 12-May-17 23:21:16

I want to say something sbout Rosesesrered. . . We do not share the same political views and I don't 'do' sucking up if views are shared anyway ?

She defends anyone being bullied, has a great sense of humour , doesn't live for political threads but joins in many threads ,and she can laugh at herself , what more could we ask of a member of this forum,

daphnedill Fri 12-May-17 23:15:54

Do you what, chewbacca?

I don't care.

Chewbacca Fri 12-May-17 23:12:36

What sort of bacca do you chew. How old are you* Durham*? 6? Grow up for heavens sake. The reason for my putting the word lady in inverted commas was to highlight ridiculousness of referring to oneself as a lady, especially in view of the spite and malice directed are Roses in that particular incident.

Like daphne said, you haven't seen the half of it. Are you sure about that, Durham? Do you not think that I might actually have read all of the posts on this thread?

daphnedill Fri 12-May-17 23:10:57

I am a lady. grin

I was brought up not to be rude. I will argue my case rationally. Enough said!

Poverty has not changed the person I am.

Maybe you would prefer me to let it all hang out and say what what I really think - unfortunately, I don't think GN would approve! wink

durhamjen Fri 12-May-17 23:03:34

And what a weird comment - a "lady"? What on earth does that mean, in inverted commas?

Do you want to be a "lady", daphne?

durhamjen Fri 12-May-17 23:01:59

What sort of bacca do you chew?

Like daphne says, you haven't seen the half of it.

Chewbacca Fri 12-May-17 22:58:08

A "lady" isn't unkind or cruel daphne. You have been both towards Roses.

daphnedill Fri 12-May-17 22:57:33

No, chewbacca, I'm not being unkind. Maybe you should reead the back history and see what I've had to put up with.

daphnedill Fri 12-May-17 22:56:10

Unfortunately, they won't be persuade dj. They're too much up their own backsides and think they're right.

The only way they'll be persuaded is when their own purses are hit - and even then, they'll probably blame somebody other than themselves.

Anniebach Fri 12-May-17 22:56:06

Sorry Daphne, you are no lady, you put posters down. I couldn't care less what you think of me, if you did post it then it would be so long I wouldn't bother to read it. I think though by your many put down posts it is obvious what you think of me, but your opinion of me doesn't interest or concern me.

durhamjen Fri 12-May-17 22:47:14

Reasons to vote labour.

daphnedill Fri 12-May-17 22:45:02

Yeah! Whatever annie! I don't care what you think. I'm too much of a lady to say what I think of you.

durhamjen Fri 12-May-17 22:37:23

Does anyone know any EU citizens who might want to vote?

Anniebach Fri 12-May-17 22:34:53

Daphne, you were a teacher, put your babies in childcare, live in the second most richest parts of the England, hsve great pride in your male ancestors who unlike the miners worked their out of manual work.,you now tutor but you did refuse to say when asked when you did this because you post , Google and paste throughout the dsy. You are divorced, am very poor, have earned just enough this year to put you in the tax bracket, have two,pensions, and your breast pleasure seems to be mocking posters.

Chewbacca is right, you were very unkind to Rosesarered, I tend to see it as bullying too.

Ana Fri 12-May-17 22:08:48

I think most of us have read your 'background' posts daphnedill.

In fact you've probably revealed more than you remember.

What it's got to do with politics I have no idea...

rosesarered Fri 12-May-17 21:49:25

I have no interest at all in your background daphnedil nor any interest in responding to your demands.Find another mug poster for those sort of tactics.
You claim to be a Lib Dem voter now, so why on earth are you championing the far left ( Corbyn) and his manifesto.Surely if you really thought like that you would be voting Labour.
I don't take much seriously that you contribute tbh.

Chewbacca Fri 12-May-17 21:47:15

You're not being kind daphne, you're being very unkind. And you know that.
