"Possibly" Off-Topic but its like yesterday when myfriend, accidently, broke the microwave plate. Was she handing you your arse on it at the time, Tony?


Still "polite and funny" at the same time Maxie.


Thats why you'll always be The Forum favourite...your certainly mine M8;-)

the fact that annaj CONTINUED reading DESPITE her assertion that she found the experience "really unpleasant" seems, to me anyway, a little unconvincing


Oh, honestly, Ladymuck, I can't believe I'm bothering to answer this, but since you seem to be implying that I either masochistically forced myself to repeatedly check a thread I didn't like, or that I'm lying and it didn't really offend me, but I reported it anyway, either of which would be frankly a bit bonkers, I feel compelled to respond.


Here's how it was: I kept an eye on the original thread, because I thought it was interesting, but I noticed it was starting to go down hill a bit. I then went away for a bit and did something else, you know life stuff, and later came back to look at the forum. I noticed there had been lots of activity on the thread, so I read through all the posts since I'd last read it. As I read them I was troubled by an increasing feeling that it all felt a bit wrong to me, so I posted to that effect and reported the posts to the moderator. Then I went away and got on with my life. That doesn't seem that unconvincing or weird to me.


Please, can you just accept that I, and others, think that on this occasion a joke went too far and get over it.


Now...


Surely then, it's all the fault of the women who buy these trashy mags


I know you were joking, but there may well be something in that.


But I'm only allowing myself and half hour lunch break before it's back to the books, so we'll have to discuss that one another time.

I'd be interested in joining you for that debate, as I have serious concerns about magazines like Heat and Reveal and Closer and so on and on and on


But I am freelancing so need to do some actual work


And also, I need to do some actual work on my seeming (seems madam?) joylessness

I think this thread has been blown out of proportion a little bit.


There is nothing new or controversial about a bunch of guys letching over female TV presenters, and teasing each other over their tastes. Women are no better, a lot of the time.


The real controversy is that there appears to be different selection criteria for male and female news readers.

But Moos, surely for any woman going for a job as a 'Page 3 stunna' that's just confusing...


(though I suspect most 'Page 3 stunnas' would even find tying their shoelaces confusing).

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
