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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.

      You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
