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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
