I have no argument with Narnia who has explained his reason for asking, but I agree with Huguenot. His argument seemed to me largely impersonal.

[Narnia]

My question annaj to H was left to the end and in a new paragraph if I remember correctly, to distance it from the rest of the post and to avoid making it the trite response you refer to it as. I actually appreciated his post though it was coming from somewhere other than where I was at.

My son is fine.........I expect. He'd be on the phone otherwise.

[annaj]

Narnia, I've said I'm sorry if I misread your intention, and I've tried to wish oyu and your son well, but you still seem upset. What more would you like me to do or say?

[Narnia]

I'm only upset as you seem to think my asking if someone was a parent was a 'trite' comment. It wasn't intended so. Anyway, I'm sure you meant well.

I have no doubt he is having the night of his life Declan. Worry not.

I'm with annaj, i think Huguenots contribution was perfect and annajs response was equally well measured.

Her point also valid regarding your note of parenting as being some sort of qualification to provide a valued contribution?

Maybe all getting a bit too personal for an internet forum?

(i am a parent, if that qualifies me in anyway?)

Sorry if i missed anything.

[Narnia]

Right, I've disowned my son.I'll give you his number if you wish to look after him.

[Pearson]

No thanks....!

Point i guess is... he's got to learn to look after himself :)

That's all really, let him deal with it himself. If he can't then he has to deal with that... himself.

etc etc you get the picture...

Unfortunately this happens, at University or Colleges when you share a fridge part of student life I never had that experince I was living at home and then on my own I did not fancy sharing with anybody I tend to be a bit of a tidy freak and the horror stories I heard from other student remind me of the Young Ones sharing did not appeal to me back then.

It was young ones'ish in halls in the 80s IIRC. Everything in the communal fridge and areas was ... considered communal property. It was like school ... with no teachers in some ways. No TV in rooms - we watched Spitting Image in the shared lounge, No Internet (hadn't been invented), Kitchen full of unwashed pans and plates.

No outsiders could get in however, and we lived on the Kings Road (halls long since sold off). My local was the Worlds End if it wasn't Students Union happy hour (most nights it was).

If one must share a refrigerator, how about storing one?s perishable goodies in one of those lockable nets that are supposed to protect backpacks from pilfering when checked-in as flight baggage?
