When you ask people not to do something simple, and yet they still do it then complain when you tell them off again. I just can't be bothered to ban them, or have I confused that with apathetic aggressiveness.

Or a dissident aggressor

What, you'd prefer active aggression? It's Friday night and I can't be bothered, sorry...


But to explain: I don't agree with some of the decisions Admin made on the Conservative candidate thread today, including deleting a post of mine which wasn't particularly critical. In my opinion - I appreciate Admin has a different view - it has been a bit heavy-handed and not in the spirit of social media, which should give people a voice where they CAN question the context, motivation, background etc - just as they would be able to in a face-to-face discussion, in fact. As I have in the past seen other threads which could really have done with moderation but didn't get it I felt it amounted to selective censorship. Ultimately I think that may undermine the thread - clearly it has done for me anyway - but we'll see I guess.

Yes, since I went to primary school. If I didn't have one or my rosary beads, Mr.Reagan would take out the stick.

You use your sleeve then or have you a handbag?

    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties.
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times! 
    • Wow, they didn't hang around after getting their licence approved.
