Monica will be slapping men with a fan next. This is all a bit Victorian.



Ummmm, yes I can see that to someone who regularly flirts openly on the Forum, that Monica's comment might appear "a bit Victorian". To me however, it is nothing more than an innocent comment.

Ladymuck,


Yes I flirt on here. I did not say that Monica was flirting, I indicated that she is exaggerating her innocense. If people on here do not agree with me, I can accept that. I don't say I feel ganged up on, claim I no longer feel comfortable to post or accuse people of running a clique.

Very ungracious of you Mr.Lush as one who purports to be a gentleman. I read all of DM's posts and if the tone of them were almost anguished it would only have come from her knowledge or experience of the events being made known to the public now. Events that obviously affected her as they did many people. Her reaction to Monica's 'blind faith' (to quote Mick) is part of that.


Deleting the posts was her choice and a possibly hasty one given it was a reaction to a post that was subsequently deleted by Admin presumably on the grounds of it being offensive.


Interesting to see in this evenings news that the Order of The Sisters of Mercy in Ireland have offered compensation of over 120M Euros to children they have abused. I'd be angry about that. wouldn't you?


Bullshit me ar**.

I don't quite follow you Declan. Angry about which particular aspect?


Personally I'm angry that the Sisters of Mercy * actually have that much dosh stashed away because they won't have come by it by moral means.


* Sisters of Mercy is a rather lovely Leonard Cohen song and I'm sorry that these so called brides of Christ have brought the name into disrepute

DECLAN! (stomps foot and glares)...


I must admit, that I pride myself on being deeply, deeply superficial. I do not like to overshare...


But, I will admit that anyone displaying blind faith in the Roman Catholic Churh or particular discredited saints (inhales deeply), terrifies me.


We must listen to our children and our instincts. We must protect those who are vulnerable in our community.


I will delete this post you know.

Ok I'm going to wade in. Monica has just protected what she believes,that's religion. Her stance is of someone that has faith, rightly or not. She did not deserve this.

Humour is what makes us what we are, Patronising people is what makes us ugly. I'd apologise and let's get on with the worthy debate.

Yes, I was patronising. I apologise for that.


But I don't think that you can be ugly sweetie. Everyone has something nice about themselves. Do you have great hair or a nice smile? Padre Pio had a great beard (if you were into that kind of thing).

I actually agree with you Gigirl lets move on from this, you did not read DMs posts so you cant comment.

I have just returned from a lovely Dinner with My lovely family, My aunt has just turned 70, and I enjoyed every minute, and not a victorian fan in sight. I dont have to flatter my eyelashes either, charm and good manners always wins:)-D

The comment was made because of a discussion Mic and I had, and how we needed to be careful,(joking) because his wife read the forum. You did not understand the exchange so why comment on it.

Of course she is ok with that comment, Monica. Certainly I did not consider it flirting. I know you have a preference for my old friend.....

Anyway, its a thread that has turned into a real argument, unfortunatley.


Declan - I think you are playing with fire, but good luck.

    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
