Yes I have - funny how some conversations just go round and round and round and round and round....


It's the best image I can think of to represent this homoerotic d*ck waving that seems to be the current theme. Perhaps you should all just get together and touch willies and then we can move on.

You must remember that Rosie that many Men don't always like to "totally" conform and more than a few quite like a bit of edgy Banter.

Schadenfreude is fairly common amongst Males, but "touching willies" not so mch so....


Boyz willbe Boyz sometimes:'(

For my part, I'm less offended by language than disappointed and bored that the level of wit has sunk beneath that of Dave's continuity announcers


What Rosie said.


BBW, it might be that people are less inclined to tolerate posts they don't like and more inclined to complain, because they're fed up with the general level of tedious, circular exchanges of insults (or worse still dull, unsubtle, cringeworthy flirting) between the same few posters.

Hello Annaj, been a while. I am coming around to the fact that some people are more sensetive than others but I just feel there's a certain amount of knee jerk complaining when someone is annoyed at a funnier comeback to their put down. Concerning the 'dull, unsubtle, cringeworthy flirting' I too have felt the need to complain but have resisted you're only old once so leave Brum and Michael P to it.
BBW felt the need to complain, That's rich coming from you geezer. I am no prude but even I cringe at some of the comments you have made, although quite comical at times some of what you say goes beyond put-downs and teeters on the brink of a right hook followed up with an uppercut.

What RosieH, Sean and AnnaJ said....


....I don't mind appropriate ranting, raving, swearing and the rest of it but the level of tedium that has been prevalent over the past couple of months is beyond the pail.


Swearing and sex can be funny. But everything in moderation.

AnnaJ and Sean, spot on.

Tony my dear, what I'm reading is not schadenfreude, it's playground insults. I like a bit of wit with my banter. I do like edgy, honest I do - I've got a Bill Hicks dvd and everything - but what's been happening on here lately has been more like hitting the girl you fancy in the playground to get her to notice you. So I was suggesting that you guys might want to get a room to get it out of your systems once and for all: a little

never hurt anyone.

Indeed, giggirl.


It has been a while BBW, I just haven't felt inspired to post much recently.

I get the feeling that you think I'm one of the sensitive souls who has complained, for what it's worth, I'm not. I've never complained to Admin about anything you've posted. I often don't much like your posting style and I don't agree with a lot of what you say, but I'm more than capable of telling you that by responding to your posts if I want to.

I'm sort of with Keef on this....look who starts a particular pub conversation and don't join in if they're not your bag.... still plenty of other stuff going on not hijacked by what many don't like... the older locals seem to be moaning about the good old days and drinking at home
Although this does feel a bit like all the old locals in the pub trying to make these younguns feel like they'd be better off in another establishment.



Hhmm, maybe, but BBW did start this thread asking for opinions on why people complain to Admin, and all anyone has really done is answer by giving their opinions.

Surely that's their choice to make.

To take the pub analogy to it's very limit....

I was never really a pub person, I never felt confident in pubs, they were loud and busy and intimidating. Then one day I stumbled accross a pub I really liked. I started popping in occasionally and very soon started drinking their regularly. It was a relaxed and friendly place were I felt welcome.

I chatted to the other regulars, sometimes about serious things, sometimes about very silly things. Sometimes I agreed with them and sometimes I didn't, but mostly everyone showed respect and everyone was heard. I got to know the other drinkers and a few became true friends.

It was a such a good pub that word spread and it got really busy and I was delighted, because I liked the landlord and was pleased to see him do well.

But then it started to change.

Now it's packed and noisy and full of people shouting and the shouting has started to drown out all the interesting conversation. And I find that the place that once felt comfortable now feels hostile and uncomfortable.

And I know that all the shouting drinkers are having fun and have every right to be there, but I no longer feel like I fit.

So, I drink at home (sometimes with my friends from the pub) and only occasionally pop in for a drink for old times sake.

    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
    • Thank you. Yes we scanned him last time, he is neutered & chipped. We asked neighbours who were feeding him to keep him in as, owner said she wasn't back till following day. That night whilst he was kept in, Gladys came back. The owner lives on a street who's garden  backs onto my friends garden. We asked neighbour that kept him in for night, to not feed him anymore. The owner said not long after she got him, he went out January, never went back till December! I did say so you don't want the cat, she said yes she does but she can't lock him in. I suggested she leaflet all houses who's back gardens back onto hers, to say to stop feeding him. She didn't do it. So until people stop feeding him, he will be a problem as he obviously doesn't want to go home and all the time she never saw him, there was no posters up looking for him, so it's one of those situations! He is a beautiful fluffy black and white and is enormous. Don't know what the solution would be if owner not bothered. Celia hammond overflowing, even kitten season was early this year. Can't take a owned cat though I'm sure he isn't happy. I'm hoping Gladys and Doris will go back home if he isn't loitering. Yes their owner does spray him with water but has little impact. It is a real problem and a worry that they are too frightened to go home and may travel further away. That is the real worry. Will keep post updated. 
    • Hi, I’m looking for a small garden table and 2 chairs used but in good condition, ideally one you’d like to get rid of 😊 Chairs need to be sturdy so that she can sit on these safely!  Thanks in advance for her!
