AIBU to be annoyed by certain posters putting their political views on threads that were not intended for that.

If Tom is a 16 year old perhaps he will be able to sort out the local forums as they are still not working!! Also anybody else having a problem when returning to a thread, it goes to the last page you saved but not to the last post saved?

Ahem - I wonder if this is Tom? Are they paying you danger money Tom? And do they provide a tin hat or do you bring in your own?

He's getting the London living wage, which is a lot more than many internships.

By now, with all the speculative attention he has been getting on here from a bunch of grans, he will probably have expired from embarrassment and it will be RIP Tom!!

Or he'll change his name.

I've no idea what anyone is talking about on this thread. I'd better crawl back under my stone.

What thread was being talked about before it went off on a tangent regarding young/middle aged/old Tom? If we're on a thread about a thread I need to know what thread it is before I can comment.

Where's Tom when you need him?

Baggs Tue 10-Oct-17 15:46:27

What vampire said.

But no-one can say which thread(s) they mean because that would be against the rules.

It's just a wee rant to get something off someone's chest.

And now we have politics and jbf on this thread I give up.angry

Just picturing another Daily Mail headline ... Bickering biddies blight best boy's media beginnings ... Whoever Tom is, l hope he has survived his baptism ... grin
