May I just please make it clear to anyone it may concern that I am not prepared to take any unpleasantness from the forums into private messaging.

Love friendly messages. Not nasty ones.

Thanks. smile

Barrow The Tony Blair defence is to defend yourself vigourously against an accusation that no one has made while carefully avoiding commenting on the real issue – at the same time asserting that you are "a pretty straight kind of guy" or words to that effect. It's not particularly important or interesting; it's just that I am sure I have read something very similar on another post a while ago.[scratches head emoticon]

Thanks for clearing that up absent - makes sense now

Mind you, jings there's an awful lot that I don't get. I'm a very simple soul!

jO5 I wasn't commenting on your posts, although I'm not sure that I particularly like being called "usual lot". hmm

May I add my comment!
I have read the comments and think that some of them are really HEAVY I too have had some not too friendly comments and insults but that comes with the territory. I presume that this is an `open` forum and as such comments will flow both good and bad and this forum seems to be dominated by women and I have not seen much signs of male participation...am I in the minority or maybe on the wrong forum.

messenger there are chaps about, although to be honest they are in the minority. If you go to "Lil's Bar" you should find Pete and Gramps .

To be really, absolutely, bloody honest, I will be so glad when this thread disappears into the ether.

That is definitely NOT aimed at anyone, but I wish to hell that we could just get back to "normal" or whatever passes for normal on your planet.

I am starting to feel like a very sad Phoenix, sad for everyone.
