WTF?


ETA: You quite unnecessarily have a go at another poster's punctuation etc, and when I call you out on it you then take the opportunity to have a go at my posts as well.


I have no intention of changing what I say on here or the way I say it because you don't like it - rather ironic that you say that I am policing the forum then proceed to tell me what to do!


Perhaps you'd like to give some examples of my "constant needling", "bullying", "self righteous indignation" and "verbal curtain twitching".


I'm not holding my breath.


Oh, and I have had a very productive weekend thank you, but hey ho, I must go and make some more "meaningless comments and sanctimonious twitterings", whatever they are.


0h, and I'll post smileys wherever and whenever I like :))


ETA: And perhaps you'd like to explain exactly when commenting on a post becomes "haunting" ?!


If you're having trouble finding examples of posts I have made which bear out your criticisms of me, you can click on my name and all my forum posts will come up. I look forward to seeing your list.


And I don't see how you could assert so confidently that a poster was not dyslexic and that English was their first language unless you knew them in real life, which in my opinion would make your criticism of them even ruder.


And even if they are not dyslexic, some people find writing difficult. In the past some posters have stopped posting on here because of unkind people criticising things like their spelling, punctuation and typos.


This is supposed to be a community forum. Community to my mind is about support, not personal comments completely irrelevant to the content of somebody's post.

So someone wrote something in a manner you didn't like?


Wow, glad you're around to point out to people how they're doing things wrong. You must be a joy to party with...

Oh dear. Meanwhile, one of the cashiers told me the robbers had guns. He added that they approached from the back of the store but it was 'a mystery' how they got in. It was just before midnight. Unfortunately, a member of staff was injured and is in hospital. He confirmed two of the gunmen were caught. Two others at large. There was a long queue so I didn't feel able to ask more questions. Let's hope the employee has a speedy recovery.

Really odd, this being the case, that there's no trace of it being reported anywhere I can find, one would have thought an employee injured by a gang of armed robbers would at least make the Standard and BBC local news.

Yes I know, I'm not arguing with the charge they've been given, just curious as to why if, as another poster mentioned above they'd been told, a staff member was injured, it hasn't been mentioned in the press reports. I see one of the criminals is charged with assault on a police officer, perhaps wires have got crossed.

Be careful now what we say about this case. Charges have been brought which means the case is 'live', so anything that could be seen as influencing the jury or judge would be contempt of court, bringing severe penaltires to the poster and the forum.

    • My husband is currently a full-time carer for our two disabled children, and he’s keen to get back into paid work where he can fit it around our family needs. He’s immediately available and looking for local handyman work — from snagging and DIY jobs to gardening or general fixing-up. He’s capable, practical, and reliable, with plenty of hands-on experience restoring and maintaining, including with heritage/listed properties. If you have a to-do list you never quite get to, or need help with those annoying finishing touches, he’d be happy to help. Please drop him a message if you’d like to chat or check availability. 07968345884
    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
