How do I contact the powers that be. I had a post deleted some time ago because of my comments on a certain poster. There is a live thread at the moment where, in my opinion, there are some very offensive comments, and jet, they are allowed to be printed.
I think we all know who I'm talking about. Please respond GN.

How does anyone know if their posts have been ignored? Perhaps the posts have been read and appreciated but nothing said in return

If Person A says x,y, z and then two, three or four posts later Person B says exactly the same thing but it is the latter post that is acknowledged for the same content, I think it's fair to say that the initial post containing the same information has been ignored.

If I am agreeing with a poster's comments but I know that another poster has made the same comments, I will acknowledge both posters.

Ana

To be fair, HollyDaze has made quite a few reasoned and polite posts since she joined

Thank you, your comment is appreciated.

Why are you all not outside and chilling in the sun with a cocktail?*

Because

a) I've been outside (to a playground) and it is decidedly cool out there.

and

b) I don't do cocktails (not alcoholic ones at any rate) which is just as well as I'm confused enough by this thread grin

Try the cocktails baubles - it might just be the answer! grin And you might get a little warmer too!!

JulieGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 05-May-14 14:01:28

You need a hot toddy, baubles.

rosequartz Mon 05-May-14 16:39:41

It was too hot in the shops. I don't enjoy shopping much but it is DH's birthday soon and this is the first chance I have had to go. Why are so many people dragging small children around the shops on a sunny Bank holiday? Surely they could find something better to do with them?

Now I am having a nice brew - too early for alcohol!
Although perhaps a wine might help enlighten me as well, baubles.

Hope all is quiet on the front.

Please don't encourage people to drink alcohol, I hate it when people say to me "go on one won't hurt you " How do they know one won't hurt me ?

baubles Mon 05-May-14 17:44:17

Well one would certainly hurt me!

JulieGransnet (GNHQ) Mon 05-May-14 17:53:43

Hot chocolate? Coffee? Tea? Alcohol free cocktail? smile Personally, I'd just have cupcake

rosequartz Mon 05-May-14 18:00:03

There is nothing better than a cup of ordinary strong tea (with milk)
I can't face the day without one.

I may go and have another one while I cook.

rosequartz Mon 05-May-14 18:02:46

Although DD1 made me a nice hot toddy of lemon, honey and hot water with cinnamon when I thought a cold was imminent. Recommended for any time!

Nelliemoser Mon 05-May-14 18:51:13

Tea is the only drink to offer me comfort. A nice beer or G&T is good but its not soothing like a nice cup of tea. It's probably to do with the British rituals of tea drinking, but it really works for me.

JulieGransnet cupcake works for me smile.

Ana Mon 05-May-14 20:02:44

But you can't live on cupcake alone! It has to be a brew for me, and perhaps some cheese...

glassortwo Mon 05-May-14 20:08:59

Cake I can do without, but dont tempt me with a cheese scone.

Dragonfly1 Mon 05-May-14 20:12:09

You really shouldn't have mentioned cheese, Ana. Now I've got to eat a chunk, even though I've just got in from a meal out with the kids and am stuffed. This is why my size 14 jeans are getting tight. Too much cheese.

Ana Mon 05-May-14 20:13:42

Sorry! grin

But still probably better for us, in moderation, than cake!

Dragonfly1 Mon 05-May-14 20:16:47

But oh so ruddy fattening!

rosequartz Mon 05-May-14 21:01:58

I wish I could get into my size 14 jeans - they are glaring balefully at me when I open the wardrobe - complete with their 'new' labels still attached

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 05-May-14 22:15:50

"cocktail"???!!!

Flip me! Another world. hmmt

Dragonfly1 Mon 05-May-14 22:17:42

Mine are practising that accusatory glare, rose.

rosequartz Mon 05-May-14 22:25:59

grin I will I will I will get into them!

What is the point of "stirring the pot?" Let it go.
