Yes, for the time being. I'm English but after retiring from the Army Air Corps I married an American woman and lived there (North Carolina) for 18 years. I'm been sent to help expand our (Xe Services, formerly Blackwater) European procurement department. We hope to return to America when I'm done here.

The last few exchanges exemplify my feelings aboutthe sharp jabs with sticks that seem to fly v readily!


I am a local. Loads of local parents know me by name, face and through my classes. I do know that some of them are forum members, and other members come to know me having been recommended to my classes by other forum members. ( if any of you are reading this - many thanks :) ) I don't always post on sing and sign topics. I do crop up very occasionally elsewhere. (here for instance!)


I think I've been a member of the forum for at least a couple of years. Maybe that's why my posts are possibly more moderate thAn other people's. I have a business/personal reputation to uphold! As far as I'm aware,I have not been insulting to anyone here. I tend to keep my private views private, I suppose!


I think the nature of this forum- and I guess similar ones elsewhere - would make rich pickings for a social psy

chologist!

Goodness me, no. Everyone knows that unions are strictly populated by numb nuts, nut-job left wing trolls.

Nothing. I just thought that Esmeralda Shufflebottom was a bit of a mouthful.

Fuzzytrish, what an hoest thread, bless you for being so candid.


Whikst there are some 'nasties' out there I am sure there are probably fewer than you think. Some people like the Billy big spuds persona and tend to pull it off rather well.... Others are just very dry and what you see is a sense of humour and a bit of banter which, does sometimes go a bit too far.


And as for that Salsaboy, tut tut tut, this isa famiky website ....... :0

Thanks frankito.


Trying to be succinct.....

Your explanation is very interesting. I know that I do take things very literally- as said- so without the benefit of being able to read other communication cues like Body language, tone of voice, facial expression, I can see that im interpreting what's written too directly.


So if I've offended anyone, I am really sorry. The written word is so full of dangers...! ( for a simple soul like wot I am).


Trish x

Fuzz-T, why do you think you have offended anyone? I don't remember reading anything from you before and I usually do remember the baddies as I try to laugh with them.


You seem like a decent sort so just stick with the good people (like me of course!) and you will be fine.

Nothing right about me. I'm thoroughly evil.


If anyone says anything different I'm going to despoil you with the moderate intellect, average prose and persistence that has made *Bob*, Jah Lush and Ted Max reserve a special place in hell for me. Snobs.


What I'm going to do though is wait until they need a hand and be insufferably patronising when I profer it. That'll really crown it.


In the meantime Fuzzy, get some balls ;-)

Can we get back to posting about strange looking men following timid women down the road at night pulling a suitcase cos I'm bored with all the rioting stuff now.


Time to move on guys, no revolution here, so get back to inanity now.

Frankito - you're a darling :) I don't know if I've offended anyone - but thought I might have. My learning disability does cause me this sort of doubt!


Alan Medic - fair point, if somewhat cheeky.When I signed up for the forum, I was of the impression that it wasn't the done thing to use one's own, real name, so I followed what appeared to be convention. I don't think I can change that now can I? (Without risking being accused of attempting to mislead others?!) I'm now known as Fuzzyboots, bit as I say, I have nothing to hide about who I am in real life :). I usually sign off as Trish or Trish Cummings in my posts.


Trish/fuzzy/superlative sing and sign teacher ;)

A contortionist can hide in a suitcase. http://boingboing.net/2011/06/08/contortionist-thief.html Be careful out there.

Quite right too.

    • 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.
