Throwing a sicky

[PeckhamRose]

Why does DM need support?

mike started a thread, some of you didn't like it but instead of ignoring it, you criticised it.

Pathetic!

Throwing a sicky - when I was employed I threw a sicky because I was being bullied.

Oh, that's interesting.

[PinkyB]

A friend of mine once successfully used the excuse that he had to go the funeral of his cousin who, while on holiday in Norway, had been run over by a carnival float.

This is the same bloke who once got an essay deadline extension by telling his tutor he was taking his pregnant girlfriend to the abortion clinic. Would you believe, the tutor actually told him he admired his responsible stance on the matter, and to take as long as he needed.

Wish I'd thought of that.

Edited to say that there was no girlfriend, pregnant or otherwise, and my friend now lives with his long-term boyfriend, so has little to no chance of ever using this excuse again.

I don't know Pinky, the wonders of modern science leaping and bounding an all that. Could have twins as well, born 100 years apart.

Mikecg has requested that his account on this forum be terminated, I have obliged. I did not want anyone to think that I had banned him.

[daizie]

Oh no! he was a good un , dearie me .

[bigbadwolf]

That's a shame.

[annaj]

Requesting termination? Now that's a flounce off.

[PeckhamRose]

Everyone happy now?

Maybe he was throwing a sicky and died. Think of that?

[RosieH]

Oh for heaven's sake. Mike was a big boy, he was quite capable of making his own decisions

[bigbadwolf]

A bit drastic PR but I see where you're coming from.

The West Dulwich Forum is in for a shock, I can tell you.

[annaj]

PeckhamRose, I don't like the idea of anyone being excluded, but no-one asked him to take such desperate action, in fact everyone who was critical was quite clear that it wasn't specifically him they were getting at, but the general tone.

If Mike wants to do a mega flounce-off and get himself terminated by Admin it's his choice.

Ha ha *Bob* that made me laugh.

[Horsebox]

He'll be back, with his tail between his legs.

They always come back.

He's probably reading this thread right now.

[brum]

IMHO I don't condone messages that can be read as offensive, whether on the open forum or via PM. However, personally I am very sorry to read that mikecg has left. I met him last week for a great night out in ED after he was the only person to take up my open invitation on the forum for a night out. I hope he does come back because in person he is a really nice guy.

[PinkyB]

Now THIS is the sort of nonsense that puts off newcomers to this forum, not swearing or childish humour.

[RosieH]

What, calling them nice guys? Yeah, that'll have them running for the hills

I suppose there's some as would cry coincidence. I think it's a rum do. And no mistake.

[PinkyB]

As far as I'm aware Mikecg was a long-term member of this forum not a newcomer, is that not right?

I AM a newcomer, and all this crap is immensely offputting to me. If I wanted to listen to people I don't know screaming at each other, I'd log off and watch Eastenders.

This is my last comment on the subject, because I really don't want to get dragged into what are clearly pre-existing battles, but if this carries on I won't make a fuss, I shall just leave, and I'm sure I won't be the only one. I don't expect anyone to care, and I'm not certainly expecting anyone to say "Oh, no, please don't leave!", I just think it's a shame, that's all. I've enjoyed discovering the Forum this last couple of months, but this has me losing the will to live.

Right, I'm off to post on the "What's Your favourite colour?" thread.

Surely there's a clue to that in your name, eh, Pinky?! And I, for one, hope you don't go.

[PinkyB]

Cheers Brum, although my name is nothing to do with the colour pink, which I can take or leave frankly. It's borrowed from the main character in my favourite novel*. Unfortunately some people have since suggested it sounds a bit filthy, but it's too late to change it now, I've been using it for nearly ten years. And it's not my fault if some people have dirty minds, is it?

As my mind is as pure as snow, I haven't a clue why PinkyB sounds a bit filthy. Alas I don't get your special prize either. Back to the classroom, methinks!
