Which is not the aggressive "following people down the street and yelling at them" you tried to argue.

I think you are heading back to the 'all men are potential rapists' argument again. It's like that horrible 'male gaze' crap attitude from the 70's and 80's (and, sadly, beyond).

Sorry, former teacher, no such luck. Funny that earlier today you accused me of stalking your comments and you've deliberately come back not to make a point but just to toss in an insult at me!

Beneath all the righteousness, though, there's an important parallel with the referendum topic: once you open the door to sexist, objectifying comments and tell women who - perhaps for reasons they don't want to share on the forum -feel uncomfortable, that it's just banter they have to accept, not only do those women feel bullied, the what's ok / what's not ok threshold moves to the next level and the thing escalates. As in this thread, in fact.


One of the things I hate most about working in a large corporate environment is that a lot of what used to be overt is covered up that way.

*Bob* back in the day we could keep lame threads going for 6/7 pages, without drawing breath. You of all people should never underestimate the power of a ridiculous and overrated thread to spill over into personal arguments, petty squabbling and embarrassingly entertaining drivel.


So, on that note, when is our next cyber battle due to commence? I reckon we could top this thread length with a much less controversial topic. What do you reckon?

Otta : in the first place I did not know KK was female. Secondly, I did not say I disagreed. This was self evident as I did say that KK's 7.11am post made no sense - to me. Then skipped off to work and thought no more about it. So was not ignoring you, but oblivious to your question.

Actually, you called them 'disagreeable comments'. You say they are disagreeable, but you don't disagree with them? Yeah, right.

hello Loz : I found this 2 seconds ago. what is your problem with me? What does yeah, right mean? does that mean you have the high ground? you sound like Dionne Bromfield and about the same age. Was this irony? I looked up Yeah Right, the Cambridge Dictionary describes it as : 'used when you don't believe what someone has said'

Perhaps you could now look up 'disagreeable' and its many synonyms and realise that disagreeable and not agreeing do not correspond.

I cannot fathom your hostility, self righteousness and pure aggression toward me and my feelings and opinions : its baffling.

However I will not be disconcerted, but where I come from, posts like yours elicit the wisdom 'you are just showing yourself up' in happy, perceptive scouse accent.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
