Before you post, read this

Well, I think it seems very interesting and worth investigation.

I may recommend it to all my relatives and younger friends who have seven year olds.

What is it with 7 year olds and arguments - they know everything and argue the toss endlessly!!

The book seems very interesting.

Don't know what's the matter with the complainers on this thread.

GollyGosh that was a bit strong vegamags for Gransnet

SineDie- thanks for that- absolutely spot on and very funny. Why is it provocative or aggressive?

I don't think that was called for, vegasmags

BTW sinedie has posted on other threads before - he/she is not a total newcomer.

Meant to say, I love a good ad hominem argument myself

Of course an argument may be fallacious but nevertheless persuade others. Obviously, SineDie I don't have to lecture you on the Aristotelian concept of 'pathos' as employed to great effect by both FDR and Winston Churchill.

Perhaps instead of putting your contribution under the Education thread you should have looked for the Patronising Git/Bloody Get Over Yourself Thread.

Oh yes.

And then there are the things that aren't even arguments with one's husband but which are baffling all the same

It looks really good.

Sadly however, there isn't a page on 'How to win every argument with your husband'.

I thought you won all the arguments anyway jingl :P

Have you been on GN long, Sinedie?

Thank you, notso. That's me decided on lunch then: cheese and biscuits and a G&T. Don't need to make MrBags one cos he's gone out.

Thanks for the , lily. Good thing it's virtual because real wine just gives me a headache

I'm very tempted to buy it for DS for his birthday!

Will this do? thatbags,SineDie

I might get the book, and then I will win all the arguments!

Watch out you lot. (rubs hands gleefully)

The sun will be over the yardarm somewhere in the world bags.

Is it too early in the day for a G&T?

SineDie have you ever ventured onto MumsNet? They would definitely be a challenge for you!

Yes I think it looks interesting too, Lucky.

Perhaps if SineDie hadn't chosen a slightly provocative and ambiguous thread title, the thread and the book might have had a less hostile reception.

I have flipped through this and will study it a bit more later - it looks very interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Clearly this is Gransnet Circus, not Gransnet Forum.

A bit harsh to SineDie!

delete 'which'
