Yeh there's usually a Saturday next week :))


Is the traditional fate beheading, maybe?


Sorry sorry sorry :))

Apologising is a good thing to do when, after the event, you realise that you have done something that may upset, cause offence or whatever.


Writing a smug, pedantic email pointing out a typo in someone else?s message and then writing ?sorry, sorry, sorry? at the end is something else. It is acknowledging fault and excusing yourself. If, at that point you were sorry you wouldn?t press send.


Am I being over sensitive? Maybe. Like many people who were subjected to crap educations I need to work hard to be vigilant in my use of written English. It was only as an adult that someone offered me fairly unhelpful label of dyspraxia. However, I am a stubborn bugger and when it maters I am disciplined enough to be vigilant. On a public forum, after a couple of rums I may relax a little, I may make a couple of mistakes.


Your message reminded me of every small minded teacher who plagued my early years taking delight in errors of spelling or presentation and ignoring the content.


If you feel the need to say sorry before you do something maybe you should consider not doing it?

Quite the most surreal thread I've read!

None of my business(GO ON TELL ME!) but Sue was GENTLY pulling your leg...having a MINOR laugh.GENTLY teasing you in an endearing way and you turn round in a hissy fit and say you won't bother next time?????...and then we have Sue apologising 1,000 times even initially when you said it in an endearing way???

I realised decades ago that Women should (generally) NOT "tease" other Women-its the combination that just does NOT work 9/10 in my experience.Male/Male Banter is what most Men in All-Male Offices thrive on and miss if they have to leave somewhere.Male/Female or Female/Male is usually fine...

Its like in Offices when a Woman teases another Woman and then says immediately after "Just kidding!"...SHE KNOWS THAT,YOU KNOW,EVERYONE else knows that so why be sooooo insecure and say it?.If U R worried that someone is not going to see the joke or take it in the endearing,friendly way it was meant then DON'T SAY IT!!

Rant Over...

p.s.This has irritated for 25 years now,I'll have to psycho=analyse why though really I DO know!:))

p.p.s. I only read this thread as I am a Dog-Lover!..lol

LOL..When you have taken on the might of The Catford Greyhound Public (until its sad demise in November,2003) where "All Human Life Was There"and it was in its multi-farius forms(!),much of it crawled up from the Woodworks and Sewers to join the human rodents and vultures already in attendance on the Terraces,who would take your every penny and then boop on you afterwardsB) you feel that you can take on the World(which it often seemed like I was doing!:))

45 years of colourful(!) exchanges with fellow Millwall Fans adds a few layers of thickness to ons skin,as well(tu)

I too only read this thread in the first place as I am a dog-lover :))


I don't think this is anything to do with male-female patterns, T.L.S., so don't let's get into all that again, lol :))


I think it's about sense of humour incompatibility :-S


Relieved to hear from others that I hadn't been over the top, however, as I was feeling a bit battered :))


Oh and yes, use the ******* key that makes paragraphs, PLEASE, your posts are virtually impossible to read!! HINT - it's that big one on the right of the keyboard with a little left-pointing arrow on, probably beneath the backspace key :))


Edited to say: You have to use the big key TWICE so that you have a space between the paragraphs, rofl :))

How many you got then,uh? Can you beat 4 absolutely adorable Westies(2 boys/girls) eh??...Thought Not!:))


"Oh and yes, use the ....blah! blah! blah!"


Oh! Thats choice! How utterly charming! I defend you like Sir Galahad seeing a Damson In Distress and then you start having a pop at me,as well:(

Thats bleedin' marvellous....(6)

"Damsel" in distress,even:))

I think I need to lie down in a darkened room as I'm coming over all unnecessary...;-)B)

Hey, don't get me started on my dogs - bet you can't beat Lipp and Lapp who have their own MySpace page, and Spotty who is a Descended Canine Master with his own website :)):)):))


Mind you, probably your Westies live neither on top of a wardrobe nor in a wooden box on a shelf :))


I've been called many things in my life, but never a Damson ....

    • It's Christmas, Mal, I'd like to think admin may be a bit looser at this time of year. Goodwill to all men and all that, even Scousers, the French and some Canadians. Have an easy-peeler, a Morrisons own brand Cinzano and lemonade, a toke on this beauty, listen to my post-dubstep-style mash-up of 'Little Donkey' and Frankie Knuckles' 'Your Love' and let the thread go where it will. We're strangely reverential about the Christmas period in this country. Christmas Day in Spain is a bit different, the big day is 'Kings' Day' on the 6th of January.  I've spent a couple of Christmases in a tiny village in the Sierra Nevada outside Granada with an (English) ex-girlfriend's family and it's exhausting to celebrate both British and Spanish style. You start on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day, Boxing Day, a village fiesta apropos of nothing to do with Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the neighbouring village's fiesta, and only then the big day of Kings' on the 6th. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's posted on the 'Fireworks' thread, I thought is was a reenactmentent of Guernica. Thankfully, Coviran - it's a bit like Spar used to be - do an excellent 'Feliz Navidad' fiesta package of six bottles of local red, six white, 24 bottles of Alhambra beer and an okay-quality Serrano jamon (with stand and knife) for about the price of a decent round in the EDT. One fiesta deal every couple of days works well. Christmas Day in Toronto is like any other day, just  even duller - Sunday-service transport and the  LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) shop is shut. Those who take their drinking seriously need to plan ahead. They also have a strange custom of going to the pictures on Christmas Day evening, rather than watching 'Oliver!' and trying to fleece your niece for her Christmas cash in a game of Connect Four. It's a bit different in Goa, but brilliant. It was a Portuguese colony, so they go mad on it. It's quite magical. I spent one Christmas Day where, after seeing the previous night's hangover off with a prawn caldine and a bottle of local coconut feni, the tide ebbed away to reveal the most perfect, flat wicket for a game of tape-ball cricket. 25 or so a side, ravers versus locals, I batted in the middle order and was building a solid, if unspectacular, innings until I hit a pull shot of such exquisite timing it still visits me in my dreams, only to be caught at square leg by a little, local lad, bollocks-deep in the surf and wearing a Santa hat. Christmas isn't what it used to be. Keep the parks open!
    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
