As a general reflection on children at home, I left Ireland post graduation for London aged 21 with nothing other than my first months rent and a low paying civil service job to look forward to.


I think more young people should take the plunge and want to fend for themselves.


For me that independence was something o craved.


House prices were completely irrelevant to me at the time of making the decision and this was 1989 when rents etc were at an all time high. I just wanted to cope on my own.

I'd of said learn lesson,no replacement money don't grow on trees.

Save up buy own then when you drop it in.loo(dangerous choice use near water)then they feel pain of replacing the item.


Understand kind mum helping out,done twice certainly no way hoza

Like otta said:

just remember that some people think because it's the internet and not "real life" that they can just say exactly what they want without applying the tact and manners that they would if talking face to face.


Either that or they're just exceptionally rude people, OR they lack the capacity to see how their. comments will affect others.

@Otta,

If sjw writes she doesn't appreciate peoples comments and opinions she shouldn't spend her free time sitting and writing negative comments on other people walls...

She sure did't leave me with a worm positive feeling when reading her comment on my post.. My though when reading it where more like "What is her problem" I think anybody would feel that way.

I didn't ask for an opinion around the topic fur.. i was selling it. And "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" Otherwise you are just a part of the internet bulling and can't be offended when other people have a negative opinion. That is all... Over and out.

You miss the point. I understand that you were just selling something, and that you weren't really looking for comments on fur, and such comments may have annoyed you and possibly made people think twice about buying the item.


Okay I get that.


But the fact remains that sjw's comment was not directed at you as a person. Comments on here have been directly aimed at her as a person and how she chooses to parent, which frankly is no one's bloody business.


You really should be able to see the difference.


Roger that? Over and out.

@OTTA The point is if you choose to play nice or not (never mind the scale)

People in general just have to keep good manners on the internet, I'm not saying what the people are saying is right, i'm saying and i quote again that if you don't play nice how can you expect others to do the same.

My previous message speaks for it self.

It's not rocket science OTTA but comment sens and good manners to fellow people on the forum.

This worked for my daughter when she did the same thing with her iPhone (paid for herself, receipt available on request): turn it fully off immediately, not just the one button off but the hold it down till it fully turns off. This stops it making any electrical connections itself. Then immerse it in a bowl of rice and leave it somewhere warm but not hot, so an airing cupboard rather than a radiator. Leave it for as long as you can but at least 24 hours. Hers was as good as new but I think it's the turning it off quickly that is key. It's something they only do the once!

I find "immediately" is such a subjective word - would it cover the small time lapse from the OP on 20 February until now?

No, no I didn't (miss your point). Because she wrote "poor fox" on one of your threads you felt that she was being "very opinionated", not nice, and had "ruined" your thread. and so what goes around comes around.


In your opinion writing "poor fox" means she deserves to have her personal life judged.


You're right, it's not rocket science and I get it.


I personally just find the two things completely incomparable.



But clearly we're not going to agree about it.

The original Gordon Bennett has some claim on the most expensive wee ever. He was the heir to the New York Herald fortune and had become engaged to even-richer socialite Caroline May. On New Year's Day he went blind drunk to her parents' house, where he pissed into the drawing-room fireplace.


Needless to say the wedding was off. He was escorted from the premises, horsewhipped by Caroline's brother and ostracised by Manhattan society. He went into self-imposed exile in France where he started the European version of the newspaper ? which became the Herald Tribune.


So a very expensive piss turned out to be not so bad in the end.


Now back to your normal programme.

    • Why on earth is there so much interest, and negativity, after a 100 days of a Labour government when we had 1000s of days of dreadful government before this with hardly a chat on this Website?  What is it that is suddenly so much greater interest? Here's part of a list of what they have done in a 100 days - it's from a Labour MP so obviously there is some bias, and mainly new Bills so yet to deliver/put into law.  This reminds me of the US election where the popular view was that Biden had achieved nothing, rather than leading the recovery after Covid, a fairer tax system, housing, supporting workers, dealing with community unrest following high profile racist incidents,  So if we think Starmer is ineffective and Labour incompetent then we are all going to believe it? I do feel sick after seeing Clarkson on Newsnight, playing to the gallery.  Surely Trump must have a high profile role for him on the environment and climate change  
    • Hi looking for a shed for my allotment. Can pick up
    • But do you not understand how tough farming is, especially post-Brexit when some of the subsidies were lost and costs have increased massively yet the prices farmers can charge has not? On the BBC News tonight they said pig farming costs had gone up 54% since 2019, cow farming costs up 44% and cereal costs up 43%. The NFU said that the margins are on average 0.5% return on capital. Land and buildings are assets that don't make money until you sell them...it's what you do with them that makes money and farms are struggling to make money and so many farms are generational family businesses so never realise the assets (one farmers on the news said his farm had been in the family since 1822) but will have to to pay tax for continuing the family business. On another news item tonight there was a short piece saying the government has said that 50,000 more pensioners will be forced into relative poverty (60% of the average income) due to the Winter Fuel Allowance removal which will rise to 100,000 more by 2027. James Murray from the Treasury was rolled out on Newsnight to try and defend that and couldn't. You can't give doctors 20%+ and push more pensioners into poverty as a result.  The problem for Labour is the court of public opinion will judge them and right now the jury is out after a series of own-goals, really poor communication and ill-thought-out idealogical policies. And don't ever annoy the farmers.....;-)
