Private messaging

phoenix, merlot and Gally - agree, agree, agree. Time to draw a line under this thread and adjourn for elevenses in the grotto.

...wot-eva!

oh right. googled it. whatever.

wot?

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

I asked 'em to delete it.

And that only got me in another pile of sh doo dah.

Ladies, Ladies - life is too short - I haven't a clue what you are all going on about but, pleeease desist toute suite - it's the season of Goodwill and kindness to all mankind and, hopefully, womankind

I think everyone needs to chill out and have a

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.

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.

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

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

he he

Nope!

D'you get it soop?

B*****d if I do.

Thanks for clearing that up absent - makes sense now

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]

...and mine

Sorry absent that one went right over my head

Yes jO5 but I wasn't talking about you.

? Are we on the same thread absent?

Definitely déja vu. I think it's the Tony Blair defence that rings alarm bells.

I will ask GN if they will delete this thread. I am sure my original intention has been accomplished.

Hear Hear jane - I get the feeling there may be something else behind all this which I for one am unaware of - if not then can everyone please just drop it. Life is too short for petty little squabbles. If you were hurt Greatnan then I am sorry about that but surely it is better to just move on rather than keep picking at it.

Can we just accept that there does tend to be friction/clash of personalities amongst some members of the forum [including me] so we should be extra careful/more sensitive in some situations? But also realise that a lot of us live alone and sometimes when we open our heart up on this forum we are probably feeling somewhat vulnerable. No group of people will be without differences of opinion etc so we have to be extra careful when on a forum as comments are all the more open to interpretation.
