Bitchin' or Banter?

If everyone answered or commented on every other post, chaos would follow!
Lona it's chaos a lot of the time anyway isn't it

I love you Ana, don't let them bully you!

Which brings us nicely back in line for a bit of bitchin' and banter!
Ana, take the shame girl.

Oh, so it's all my fault, is it?

Blimey, can't do right for doing wrong...

Phew, my "scary" thing sorted, thank you roses for explaining, Ana, you had me thinking I was going barmy and imagining things!

Right, off to my bed and book, good night all!

phoenix I have a Hudl, the accent happens when you leave your finger on the letter. Ç àáã êē
Geddit?

I did like Dylan ( a long time ago) I played his Bringing It All Back Home
LP until it wore out!

granjura the 'accent' comments were nothing to do with anything you'd posted, they related to phoenix putting an accent on the second 'a' of my username.

Do try to be less sensitive - it's not always about you!

Hands up, who actually liked The Bachelors?

Anya, Dylan's lyrics, while interesting, are not as romantic as the Batchelors Ramona, but possibly less syrupy.

It was me! But phoenix knows I am joking, as she is the fluffyist bunny on the forum.

I believe the accent comments were possibly due to my 'Néanderthal'- as said, I type very fast and this computer as got a French key board I suppose that does make me a furiner, then, sigh + gyneacological emoticon
;) (this is hilarious actually- read some of tonight's post to DH and he just could not believe his ears. He did ask why on earth I stay on GN! I couldn't quite reply- apart from laugh and shrug shoulders).

I suppose it is because there are some lovely and really interesting people on here, although sadly they rarely post now due to the -bitching- banter!
(looks like the strikethrough does not work on my French FOREIGN keyboard lol).

"Hello loopylou"

No one said you were scary, phoenix.

I just made the comment that although you don't often wade in on contentious threads, when you do it's because something's made you very cross - what's wrong with that?

I really don't think you are scary, phoenix.

I think that the accents, as in sort of punctuation things, have somehow appeared when I am using the Hudl, and I don't know how to change it
, sorry.

However I still don't see how I can be regarded as in the least bit scary!

None of it worries me. Is that perhaps because I am one of four sisters? That would toughen anyone up!

I heard an American relative say once 'If you can't find something nice to say, say nothing'. I did try it for a while but nearly burst. I think some people take a mere difference of opinion as a criticism of themselves, when that is not always intended.

I do have a rather bizarre acccent- as some may soon find out. But there are no accents in any of my names, British or French ;) (wink).

Rather apt under the circumstances

Ramona by Bob Dylan

To Ramona"

Ramona, come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Will pass as your senses will rise
The flowers of the city
Though breathlike, get deathlike at times
And there's no use in tryin'
To deal with the dyin'
Though I cannot explain that in lines.

Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As to be by the strength of you skin
Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I'm in
But it grieves my heart, love
To see you tryin' to be a part of
A world that just don't existv It's all just a dream, babe
A vacuum, a scheme, babe
That sucks you into feelin' like this.

I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
With worthless foam from the mouth
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin' and returnin'
Back to the South
You've been fooled into thinking
That the finishin' end is at hand
Yet there's no one to beat you
No one to defeat you
'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

I've heard you say many times
That you're better 'n no one
And no one is better 'n you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you gotta be just like them.

I'd forever talk to you
But soon my words
They would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring
Everything passes
Everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday, maybe
Who knows, baby
I'll come and be cryin' to you.

Looks quite pretty actually!

As a pretty consistent thread-killer, I have got used to it - I think I/we need a <shrugged shoulders> emoticon.

I assume it's not personal seeing as I'm reasonably certain no one on here knows me in RL

Perhaps I need to add a few accents too?

Løöpŷlòû for starters

This thread is so funny....

How do you pronounce that, *Loná? Oops, wrong accent...

Now me an Anà is bro's
