Am I the only one to think...

[TheGreatErnie]

That the people of the East Dulwich forum seem to be a little obsessive about little things in life?

[citizenED]

Yes Little Ern, I'm with you on that.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Define 'little things in life'.

[Narnia]

'A little obsessive' as opposed to.............?

[bogman]

Nice 1st post Ernie, get a life .....

[RosieH]

I'm obsessed by:

1) David Tennant

2) A particular line in Pulp's "Pink Glove"

3) Finding again a Heston Blumenthal recipe for oxtail stew

4) The perfect eggs benedict

What are you obsessed by?

[tallulah71]

Thanks for that Rosie....was getting all tense and obsessively defensive on here just then. Not nice....

[kford]

I'm obsessed by the misuse of the apostrophe.

[WickedStepmother]

I'm entirely in accord with kford. Once had an argument with a butcher in Borough Market because a sign on one of his trays read "Pig's Trotters". There were six trotters, you see. Actually, perhaps that doesn't qualify as a little obsessive.

[kford]

I'm with you. That would ruin my day. At least it wasn't trotter's.

[TheGreatErnie]

1)Stripy Things

2)Does my flatmate Burt fancy me?

3)The Letter O

4)And who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?

I posted this because of late the forum has become a little nasty see this as an example.

Now let's hope this makes everyone feel a little more zen

Just so you know Ernie, number one stole the cookies from the cookies in the jar.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Was it you number one?

[Narnia]

Why are you great Ernie?

[TheGreatErnie]

It's just what my friend Burt calls me.

Just read some of the 'smoking while pregnant' thread....now I know what to do when I can't sleep.

[Alec John Moore]

I think it's better than the telly but also quite similar. I'm thinking Big Brother and other car crash TV. It has a fascination that is really tempting. I've noted one or two poster who have tried to resist contributing but to not no avail. It has made me think about why and how we express our views. Motivations have been questioned and misinterpretations abound. It's just like real life.

Please could you clarify...your friend Burt, yes?

Or your room-mate, Bert?

*obsesses about words and letters*

[TheGreatErnie]

We share a bedroom but not beds. We are just friends though I think Burt would like it to be more. Perhaps I should put a shout out on the forum for a nice young man for him ?
