Is your real name Pedro TLS?

Just a thought.

Tony, whilst I won't argue about the 40s/50's, if you were lucky enough to be even older and lived in the London 50 years previous to that it would have been a MUCH MUCH more dangerous place.

S'all about equality y'see

But fear of getting mugged isn't an issue for me. That's not to say I won't get mugged. It could happen tonight. But I'm not afraid of it - statistically it's unlikely. And I would far rather live now than in the 50s

Moos, I said that in EXACTLY the same context that another Poster did on another thread as follows:

"but I don't think I'll be alone in finding irony in someone who cultivates a forum-personality of a shallow-alcoholic with a penchant for designer clothes and lunching, getting all hoity over the coverage given to Jade's death by some other forumites who are rather more well known for their considered, thoughtful and serious postings"

The comment above clearly said that he was more well known for his "considered, thoughtful and serious postings" compared with YOU!!....so in the exactly the same vein I said

"Please leave this thread to those of us who are more thoughtful, considered and serious on this Subject Moos! "

Whats the difference?

You know I was being tongue-in-cheek but neither of us were saying that you were "thoughtless, ill-considered or frivolous on this forum"....

p.s. Keep this STRICTLY to yourself but someone who posts that "Tour-De-Force" a month ago is never going to get much flak from me....:)

I would also rather live now than in The 1950's Sean, too M8.

It was an austere period, rather dull and with London being rebuilt with rationing etc it could not have been a barrel of laughs. We have so much more going for us and the variety of things to do and places to go is endless!

That wasn't the point though, I was just saying that its not just to do with "numbers" and there was nearly as many in The 1960's and London was extremely safe for the 99.9% who were not in the "Firms".

TLS, my point is that if you think I should not be taking part in a discussion, please feel free to say so. But don't bring the point up and pretend that you're just quoting someone else. It's totally irrelevant to this thread, for one thing.

Unlike "certain" other Posters I WOULD NOT DREAM of being so pompous or patronising.

It goes against EVERYTHING I stand for to think for a Nano-Second that someone should not contribute.

I'm nothing on EDF and to have the effontery to belittle someone else????????

I thought that other comment was TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS and yet, bizarrely you shrugged that comment of and appear to take more offence at my comment which you MUST know is a deliberate 2tongue-in-cheek" plagirism of that!..I

As you know I even used the same terms: "considered, thoughtful and serious " to empthasise this.

p.s Unlike the other Poster I value everyones contributions and relise that some people are capable of "Social Elevation" and can change their responses and tone depending on the nature of the thread and who is contributing.

Its like playing a joke or pulling someones leg or teasing them, its only good if they can take it and give as good back, otherwise its mean and pointless.

p.s. The former attitude DOES irk me as I've worked in Public Relations and Advertising, amongst many other Professions and seen this kind of snooty, elitist, snobby attitude and I really hate it Moos.

Duplication.

Don't mention bloody "Pedro" please MP!

I was riding a Don Quixote called "Pedro" back in '72 in Espana and I've still got a sore ass when the f***er bolted to join the rest of the Donkeys....:X

[mockney piers]

Hence your penchant for tilting at windmills ever since.

Explains a lot!! ;-)

Leave It Out MP! I'm feeling "Mellow Yellow" this fine morning NOT "Windmills Of Your Mind"...

Very Good Friend Sancho...:)

I have a "vote for Pedro" t-shirt, but that is another story.

Er, I actually took up the other poster's point on the thread and discussed it until we agreed to disagree. For some reason, you have characterised this as 'shrugging it off'.

But I think it is wholly inappropriate that you raised that discussion - in which you had no part - on this thread and I question your motives for doing it as a response to my post on this thread which disagreed with yours.

I think I've made it clear that I don't want to get involved in any ongoing difference of opinion you may have with another poster but if not please hear it now - don't involve me, and don't use my posts to try to make your own point.

You have read far too much into my comment Moos.

It was totally irrelevant whether you agreed, disagreed or were completely indiffent to my view.

I was making a lighthearted comment.
