Louisa

I love talking about things we've all gone over numerous times before. Sue where is your response? A few of us are waiting. Louisa.

StraferJack. I was referring to everyone talking about it, previously I was just dismissed as being a troll. Now everyone feels they can also talk about cliques in this new forum democracy which has broken out from somewhere. The reason I didn't previously attend drinks you know about because we private messaged about my circumstances. Also, as I've pointed out before, my fear is I would be cornered by a clique at a drinks event and made to justify myself. On the subject of Sue, the thread I was thinking about was in reference to paranormal events I think. I'd be interested if Sue could join in here and clarify if how I perceived reactions to her posts at the time, were taken to heart by her or whether it was just forum banter. Sometimes the line between banter and clique is a fine one. Louisa.

RPC with the greatest deal of respect, I think it would be healthy for that topic to be re-opened, whilst we are finally all being honest on this thread about the unspoken truth surrounding cliques on this forum. Many of us have known it/felt it for years and it's only now we feel we can talk about it. I remember Sue being cornered last year in a thread by some of the clique and although I chose not to join in I was quite shocked with the extent to which the EDF in crowd will push someone, often unknowingly (I'd hope) until they back down. Louisa.

Waitrose will not open a store within the postcode. *Bob* will finally out my s&m dungeon to the forum. Peckham house price averages will overtake ED. Alex Salmond joins cabinet and becomes Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. Louisa.

Fox and I are not in a clique, and to date we have no plans to elope to Dagenham. We just happen to be broadly in agreement on many things related to the area. We speak plainly and are perfectly easy to understand, unlike many of the apparent cliques on here who use "in speech" to communicate. I am often baffled and left on my guard by bizarre turns of phrase and odd incomprehensible one liners on this forum which fox and I are battling on a daily basis to be frank. Louisa.

Every one of you is in a clique apart from me. I am me. Louisa.

Short sharp shock needed. Cut out carbs for a week, you'll feel drained but you'll lose a lot of weight initially then mix it up in the second week with a return to carbs before 3pm (NEVER after) and do some light to moderate exercise (jogging/brisk walk) regularly in the morning and evening. You'll lose a stone in a month no issue. Louisa.

Any tatty overpriced gift shop makes me feel a certain unease. Croydon town centre. Dog kennel hill walking in the dark (especially on the side of the road where the flats are). Louisa.

RPC unfortunately, certain posters know how to press my buttons. Yesterday Seabag pressed those buttons on more than one occasion on a few threads, and I foolishly fell into the response trap and it oddly turned into a class battle for no reason. Then posters today see oh here we go again Louisa is banging on about class, actually, no I wasn't, others brought it up and I simply continued the conversation. I have no need to turn everything back to class. I mean for god sakes what does a reserved parking space have to do with a persons social class? Louisa.

You see I like most people on this forum, until they wind me up. Then I dislike them for a short while, then I like them again. It's never taken to heart for long. But some people know how to press my buttons. Some people within the clique never wind me up ever, others are perceived to be in the clique even if they are not and wind me up leading to me putting them stupidly in the clique. The perception of the clique usually happens when incomprehensible jargon and sarcastic phrases are thrown into the mix and only some people get it, it gives the impression of "we know what we are saying and it's aimed at you haha". Infuriating. Louisa.

Why does everything come back to class with you lot! Thought we were talking about reserved parking spaces. Louisa.

He also claimed to live in Clapham and boasted about meeting someone who wrote a piece in the Guardian El Pibe, red rag to a bull territory. Louisa.

Seabag your weak almost desperate attempts to join the EDF clique are slightly odd for a late comer, and mildly embarrassing at best. You consistently want to impress the old guard clique by 'confronting' me on various issues and this evening at least winding me up, and then when taken to task or questioned about your own posts you go into self defence mode. You want to prove to me your working class credentials, with this peculiar rant. You were then once again caught out, when fox reminded you of your posts about your boarding school education (not to mention living in Clapham and boasting about meeting Z list celebs). Honestly my love, I don't care about your class, it's all gravy. Happy new year to you too! Louisa.

Fox it's odd isn't it. When someone goes into justification mode I know it's time to give up the ghost. I was patronised on a few other threads earlier this evening and then when I pull someone up on their comments, the above rant (at best) takes place. Louisa.

:) Louisa.

Priceless :) Louisa.

No one told me it's over yet, I'm still drinking wine every night (and day). Louisa.

Fox we are fighting a losing battle it seems. The yummies hipsters and blow ins have got our old school ED numbers and they're hunting us down until we are made extinct. Louisa.

Seabag Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > Louisa's silly matter, is a whole load of other > guff > Here we go, new year, same old Louisa bashing. I will defend my right to reserve a space when needed once in a while. I pay to use the roads, and I'm going to bloomin well use them! Louisa.

As touching and legitimate as I'm sure the concerns expressed here appear to be, I am also uneasy about this thread and the previous one. For now at least, I would also support admin removing this thread from the forum. Louisa.

Have a dignified and restful Christmas from the Louisa household. (TOC's apply) Louisa.

Well I have a slight hangover today, but I have to say the vindaloo was spot on with a mushroom rice. when you're drunk you don't worry too much about where it came from. What time does Sainsbury close today? I want to buy some DVDs I can't cope with the dull television shows. Louisa.

Cheers Foxy. Can you recommend the vindaloo from here? Is this where you host your curry club? Louisa.

Here we go again. More repeats, dull poorly scripted Christmas sitcom specials, 'celebrity' quiz show specials... Argh, give me strength. Thank The Lord for this festive bottle of Sauvignon to keep me sane. Mr Louisa is already asleep and it's not even Christmas Eve! Anyone know where I can order a decent vindaloo from? Louisa.

Monster munch crunched up in the bag roughly and poured into a take away soup double up as croutons. Street food right there. Louisa.
