What would you do? (Trust dilemma)

Bit slow on the uptake these days!

Labaik Thu 24-Oct-19 16:52:23 I am envious but not in a nasty way, wish I was that good.

If I don't 'get' a thread I don't comment! Why do some have to be so horrid, just don't come on to threads you don't like.

Huffs off to meet a friend

Thank you, Marydoll, you are right. My post of Tues 22nd Oct. 23:58:19 was intended to draw this thread to a close. It was fun, thanks to everyone's witty, good-natured and kind contributions but has probably run its course.

I hope that anyone coming new to the thread now will not just read the OP, but also my Tues 22nd Oct. 23:58:19 post.

See you next time the muse visits!

Initially I was fooled, but then realised it had been posted in the Politics forum. I actually mentioned it to my husband, saying that I wished I was smart enought to write a post like that.
I have not seen any meanness and think people are overracting. I'm sure Amagran never intentionally set out to hurt or make a fool of anyone. Furthermore, I suspect how we are feeling at the time of posting, may depend on how we interpret it.
In the past, I have rushed to post and regretted it when I realised I hadn't read the OP carefully enough. .
Perhaps it's time to let this thread go.

Granted it was on April1 but I don’t think the other 364days of the year have to be grumpy doom and gloom.

Bit different.

That was an April Fools joke.

Do you all remember Richard Dimbleby and the spaghetti harvest?
Nobody thought that mean and there were those who took it at face value!

Light hearted and clever. Loved it.

Thank you for your lovely support, everyone (well, almost everyone!). Much appreciated.

I am not daunted. I have noticed that few threads on anything but the most light-hearted topics get beyond 5 pages before the negative or po-faced posts arrive. Hmm....hope I've not been guilty myself .....!

The most frustrating thing, is posts which show that the writer has not bothered to read the thread.

Especially as the OP was so nice to those that were hoodwinked

Fair enough B There’s a difference between not finding it funny and saying it was mean ( which was GG!s original position) But really why even bother to come on and even say that?
Not pleasant

Being a trusting soul I took it at face value at first - but happy to admit that and laugh now.
It is very funny.

Suziewoozie, I get that, I was just stating that it’s not my preference, I am really happy for those that do, I was sharing my opinion, did you not get that ??

So why on a good natured thresd did you have to come on and be so sour? God knows we need some fun on GN at the moment.

Yes I get that .

Humour is subjective - if you don’t find it funny that’s absolutely fine, but plenty of us did.

Yes it’s humour - just because you think it isn’t doesn't mean it it isn’t #wetblsnket

I’m with you GoneGirl, I never did get this sort of humour ? Is it humour ?
(Probably due to being the butt of a teachers so called humour when young )

Ok.

Well, if any of those GNers who gave the advice in good faith think this thread is a bit mean, they can say so. I'm willing to bet that once they realised it was a joke, they saw the funny side.

I have already said that it's clever.

The thing is, some GNrs went to the trouble of giving good advice to Amagran having taken the post at face value.

Not envious Labaik. It would never have crossed my mind to write it. Not greatly into the Brexit stuff at the moment.

Probably making too much of this. So will shut up.

Watch out for the comment about the # Labaik

Maybe Gonegirl is just envious that someone can write something so witty and clever #justsaying

Don’t bother Amagran it’s not worth it.
