As a general reflection on children at home, I left Ireland post graduation for London aged 21 with nothing other than my first months rent and a low paying civil service job to look forward to.


I think more young people should take the plunge and want to fend for themselves.


For me that independence was something o craved.


House prices were completely irrelevant to me at the time of making the decision and this was 1989 when rents etc were at an all time high. I just wanted to cope on my own.

I'd of said learn lesson,no replacement money don't grow on trees.

Save up buy own then when you drop it in.loo(dangerous choice use near water)then they feel pain of replacing the item.


Understand kind mum helping out,done twice certainly no way hoza

Like otta said:

just remember that some people think because it's the internet and not "real life" that they can just say exactly what they want without applying the tact and manners that they would if talking face to face.


Either that or they're just exceptionally rude people, OR they lack the capacity to see how their. comments will affect others.

@Otta,

If sjw writes she doesn't appreciate peoples comments and opinions she shouldn't spend her free time sitting and writing negative comments on other people walls...

She sure did't leave me with a worm positive feeling when reading her comment on my post.. My though when reading it where more like "What is her problem" I think anybody would feel that way.

I didn't ask for an opinion around the topic fur.. i was selling it. And "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" Otherwise you are just a part of the internet bulling and can't be offended when other people have a negative opinion. That is all... Over and out.

You miss the point. I understand that you were just selling something, and that you weren't really looking for comments on fur, and such comments may have annoyed you and possibly made people think twice about buying the item.


Okay I get that.


But the fact remains that sjw's comment was not directed at you as a person. Comments on here have been directly aimed at her as a person and how she chooses to parent, which frankly is no one's bloody business.


You really should be able to see the difference.


Roger that? Over and out.

@OTTA The point is if you choose to play nice or not (never mind the scale)

People in general just have to keep good manners on the internet, I'm not saying what the people are saying is right, i'm saying and i quote again that if you don't play nice how can you expect others to do the same.

My previous message speaks for it self.

It's not rocket science OTTA but comment sens and good manners to fellow people on the forum.

This worked for my daughter when she did the same thing with her iPhone (paid for herself, receipt available on request): turn it fully off immediately, not just the one button off but the hold it down till it fully turns off. This stops it making any electrical connections itself. Then immerse it in a bowl of rice and leave it somewhere warm but not hot, so an airing cupboard rather than a radiator. Leave it for as long as you can but at least 24 hours. Hers was as good as new but I think it's the turning it off quickly that is key. It's something they only do the once!

I find "immediately" is such a subjective word - would it cover the small time lapse from the OP on 20 February until now?

No, no I didn't (miss your point). Because she wrote "poor fox" on one of your threads you felt that she was being "very opinionated", not nice, and had "ruined" your thread. and so what goes around comes around.


In your opinion writing "poor fox" means she deserves to have her personal life judged.


You're right, it's not rocket science and I get it.


I personally just find the two things completely incomparable.



But clearly we're not going to agree about it.

The original Gordon Bennett has some claim on the most expensive wee ever. He was the heir to the New York Herald fortune and had become engaged to even-richer socialite Caroline May. On New Year's Day he went blind drunk to her parents' house, where he pissed into the drawing-room fireplace.


Needless to say the wedding was off. He was escorted from the premises, horsewhipped by Caroline's brother and ostracised by Manhattan society. He went into self-imposed exile in France where he started the European version of the newspaper ? which became the Herald Tribune.


So a very expensive piss turned out to be not so bad in the end.


Now back to your normal programme.

    • Hi, I 'd like to recommend H. Ozturk Roofing Services.  Huseyin has done some excellent work for me repairing lead work, guttering, mortar and missing tiles etc.  He always takes the time to listen to what the problem is and carries out the repairs to a high standard.  He is very professional, polite, arrives on time and cleans up afterwards. I highly recommend him.
    • Old thread i know but just wanted to say that we have taken our youngest son out of Charter East now as he was so unhappy, nose diving academically, finding it hard to make positive connections and as a family we just could not watch his self esteem plummet any further. We decide to opt for homeschooling via Minerva MVA online academy. It's pretty positive so far and early days but we are hugely relieved to be out of what had for us become a toxic system.
    • I think the family is a valuable soft power. When Zelensky was humiliated and bullied in the White House, he was at Windsor for tea the very next day, which sent a powerful message. Same when the king visited Canada.  I think even republican states and their leaders do revere the idea of a royal family and all the pomp that comes with it. Being able to dangle a second state visit invitation to Trump, who requires subjugation by flattery, affords us a not insignificant amount of leverage.  Their supposed apolitical stance does give them a valuable platform to advocate for causes, for example for climate change, domestic abuse, homelessness, etc and maintain visible relations in the UK with different religious and ethnic groups (charles has been v good at this).  The more the family can visibly separate wealth from power, the better. I think some of the the ways the duchy of cornwall makes its money is repugnant. For eg, if it's going to lease land and property to the NHS and MOD it needs to be peppercorn, not for profit. There's a lot of sketchyness around the duchy, and any scandal seems to disappear in a matter of days, which demonstrates the frightening power the palace yields. If William really wants to make the family above reproach, his family and estate has to be squeaky clean and it simply isn't  He and his father also needs to go one step further and pass a government act so the rogue's titles are truly stripped, not just in abeyance. There's still more scandal to come and they'll need to be even more ruthless  
    • Julian built me a fitted wardrobe, I was really pleased with it.  Quick work and he was really flexible about what I needed, made it exactly to my requirements which was great.  lots of excellent advice.  Definitely recommend him for any carpentry work.
