All this repeating other posters' remarks in italics...

Dusty pink on tablet, lilac on laptop!
#dontreallycarewhatcolourtheyare.

Well ..... I asked for that didn't I?

It reminds me of a pink that Laura Ashley used to use for wallpaper; never used it myself as it had a slightly depressing quality to it. Not enough blue in it to be lilac. Then again don't we all see colours differently? I used to have some green towels that everyone else said were brown .

Yes! I find this colour scheme depressing!

In our family mauve was known as The Old Maid's Last Push, a colour only faded unclaimed ladies ever wore.

Crikey Tegan - that's a bit of a leap

I haven't been back to this thread all day so I've only just seen some of the comments, and I got the giggles at what I posted being "manifestly untrue". What does that even mean? (I often get the giggles at language).

I'm in a permanently silly good mood at the moment

Holly; the towels were a sort of sludgy green and it was round about the time that my bathroom was a lovely shade of trendy aubergine [aka theblackholeofcalcutta]. My house was so tasteful .

^...isn't it just encouraging fighting between posters, rather than just debating the subject up for discussion?

As well as driving me totally round the bend.^

Do we need italics to fight, Jingle? Or can we fight perfectly well without?


^And I'm getting fed up with the colour scheme round here!

Time to get the decorators in HQ?^

It is a bit pink. Is it putting off the Grandads, do you think?

Oh buggar dear I messed that post up because the keyboard is playing up!!

#^ohjingleimsosorry^

Definitely lilac on my PC!

I don't like the MN blue - too stark.

Oh bother - italics didn't work #blamehalfabottleofmuscadet

Good job Honourable Woman isn't on tonight

#triesagain

What? Tries? Time for a digestif methinks

What's wrong with 'tries'?

Shouldn't it be trys - oh no..........,

Actually I think I prefer quotes in italics, they are not as easy to miss as quotation marks.

Oh, you're all gonna do it now, are n't you?

The STARK blue fits a lot of the posters comments -- STARK!

Oh, you're all gonna do it now, aren't you?

Well, just occasionally...

No!
