I think the time has come for us to have a grown up adult discussion about the true meaning of this word. As I am banned from the general issues section and cannot respond publicly to some of the pretty nasty sneering aimed at me on a certain other thread, I would like to raise it here.


In defence of my PM to this 'robbin' person, I was trying to make the point that sneering DOES work both ways. You can't accuse me of being obnoxious on the one hand (based on previous posts) when the very comment I am refering to made by you is indeed obnoxious. Lots of pot kettle black stuff going on here today.


A lot of my humour is lost in translation, but the lack of humour in some posters whilst sneering is obvious for all to see most of the time (I do hope you are taking note admin). I'm sick to the back teeth of people misunderstanding me even after I've explained myself, then winding me up knowing full well I can't respond on the thread in question. It's sneaky underhand tactical stuff which exposes your apparent 'anti troll' rants for what they really are, TROLLING.

Surely not Otta.

I think it is just that Louisa's humour and also my own humour does not come across in written form.

It is true what Louisa said 'A lot of her humour is lost in translation'

That would seem to apply to myself..


Face to face its is easier to get what people are getting at when you have eye contact.

The little glint in the eye, the wink, the nod.. :)

More subtle sneering. Get off your high horse. If you didn't want to respond and genuinely believed in the 'anti-troll' references you so spouted on the other thread, surely you'd not respond at all? Instead we have the 'not me honest gov' approach, where you reply by saying you won't be replying. If that isn't trolling I don't know what is.

I agree, why should Louisa have to put up with everyone's 'take' on her but she doesn't have a voice in that area. Wrong on every level...

The old Louisa is dead, I've promised myself and a few others to not steer back into previous conversational favourites of mine, and as yet have not done so. Then someone tries to push my buttons to get me to talk about a topic I have tried to leave behind me. So rather than rise to that, I am back with a completely different take on local issues. I refuse to be drawn on Iceland, class or parents with a buggy. From now on, I want to be taken seriously, any drinks events on the horizon? I refuse to be trolled back into previous topics.

MrBen as I explained to Jeremy, I really tried but couldn't do it. I tried to delete my profile and realised it wasn't possible, then I thought oh bugger it the forum is getting more and more dull as many faces disappear, may as well go down with the sinking ship.

So what would've been better? If she'd done a proper 'flounce' and not returned at all?

You say you don't mind having her around so why question a change of decision?


You should be celebrating instead. One less missing person.

Lou - when you do a massive rotten fart, sometimes it takes a while for the aroma to dissipate.


Try to think in terms of you having done one long, continuous, stinking guff - continually - for several years. You can't wave your hand a bit and away it goes. Can't be done. Its going to take some window opening and duvet wafting; possibly even a scented candle.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By fishboy · Posted

      Which is why I was careful to specify "the true definition"! A bit like "dilemma", generally used for any tricky decisions but should really be where there are only two options, both with equally bad outcomes...

      I raise your pedantry. Language evolves and Merriam Webster gives the meaning as "drastically reduced especially in number." The word originally derived from the Roman practice of killing every tenth soldier in a mutinous army but I'm sure nobody uses the word in that context now.

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By Katherty · Posted

      Thanks all for the replies.  When the roofer come to look at the roof more recently,  there were holes in the felt in the same place that the original leak had been,  as well as where the new leak is.  There doesn't seem to be a reason why a hole the the felt was the cause of one leak and not the other.  It would have been good to have got everything sorted at the same time,  rather than having to put scaffolding up again.  But my main issue is around the vagueness of a 10 year guarantee.  After work was done the first time,  the roofer gave us a summary of the work and just wrote '10 Yr guarantee' after, without specifying what exactly that means.   If a roofer comes and doesn't diagnose the problem quite right (which i imagine is common with roofs, given it's not always clear what's causing a leak), the guarantee doesn't seem to apply. But anyway,  we'll be getting a different roofer, because we think he should have checked the felt under the tiles the first time round.

      By fishboy · Posted

      We used to feed the birds, but once the parakeets discovered this they just took over, scaring away all the other species and eating everything in sight. I tried scaring them away with a Nerf gun, but they just didn't care. I know it will open a can of worms (no pun intended) but I really think  the parakeet population needs to be reduced; yes they are pretty, but they are just like a plague of locusts when it comes to food supplies.  PS apologies for pedantry @malumbu but the true definition of "decimate" is to reduce by a tenth... 🫤
