Narnia Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 My question annaj to H was left to the end and in a new paragraph if I remember correctly, to distance it from the rest of the post and to avoid making it the trite response you refer to it as. I actually appreciated his post though it was coming from somewhere other than where I was at.My son is fine.........I expect. He'd be on the phone otherwise.

annaj Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Narnia, I've said I'm sorry if I misread your intention, and I've tried to wish oyu and your son well, but you still seem upset. What more would you like me to do or say? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13456-theft-in-university/page/4/#findComment-366224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narnia Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm only upset as you seem to think my asking if someone was a parent was a 'trite' comment. It wasn't intended so. Anyway, I'm sure you meant well. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13456-theft-in-university/page/4/#findComment-366245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm with annaj, i think Huguenots contribution was perfect and annajs response was equally well measured.Her point also valid regarding your note of parenting as being some sort of qualification to provide a valued contribution?Maybe all getting a bit too personal for an internet forum?(i am a parent, if that qualifies me in anyway?)Sorry if i missed anything.

Narnia Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Right, I've disowned my son.I'll give you his number if you wish to look after him.

Pearson Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 No thanks....!Point i guess is... he's got to learn to look after himself :)That's all really, let him deal with it himself. If he can't then he has to deal with that... himself.etc etc you get the picture...

Ridgley Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Unfortunately this happens, at University or Colleges when you share a fridge part of student life I never had that experince I was living at home and then on my own I did not fancy sharing with anybody I tend to be a bit of a tidy freak and the horror stories I heard from other student remind me of the Young Ones sharing did not appeal to me back then.

JohnL Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It was young ones'ish in halls in the 80s IIRC. Everything in the communal fridge and areas was ... considered communal property. It was like school ... with no teachers in some ways. No TV in rooms - we watched Spitting Image in the shared lounge, No Internet (hadn't been invented), Kitchen full of unwashed pans and plates.No outsiders could get in however, and we lived on the Kings Road (halls long since sold off). My local was the Worlds End if it wasn't Students Union happy hour (most nights it was).

HAL9000 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 If one must share a refrigerator, how about storing one?s perishable goodies in one of those lockable nets that are supposed to protect backpacks from pilfering when checked-in as flight baggage?
