One or two posters make me feel like someone's run their fingernails down the blackboard .so I don't make any comment on the threads they are on. But. I do want occasionally to be as rude as JBF or Polly. But I have a life .
I always want to ask , do you kiss your GC with those mouths. BUT I don't use "swearing " myself and I don't like to hear it or use it. However I am seriously depressed and feeling miffed with life so disregard my opinions .
In reality, "We've been here longer than you" is meaningless and doesn't make you any better than the rest of us and doesn't give you any special privileges. Some people really need to get over themselves.
Anyway, if I had a fourth choice it would have to be steak and homemade wedges, with mushrooms and a salad. I've just eaten that and it was delicious.
I'd like some sort of clarification from HQ as to whether it's acceptable to tell people their posts are boring because they've been 'discussed before'. If it isn't in the forum guidelines then, imo, it should be because it smacks of cliques ie 'we've been here longer than you'. Especially when some posters follow other posters around agreeing with them Ana. You tried to derail the latest poetry thread as well, jingle. Have you nothing better to do?
I didn't report the post but, d'youknow what, I'm glad people did. It's downright rude to tell a poster to shut up because their topic has been discussed before. The golden rule should be if you're not interested in a topic [or find it repetitive or boring] just don't take part in it. Unless, of course the intention is to turn into a 'me me me' post #heavenforbidthatanyoneonherewoulddothat
Can I just say that I hope the poor posters who were so upset over my 'fucking' post on here yesterday - so overcome by the vapours in fact, that it was all they could do to actually report me to GNHQ - have now fully recovered and are well on the road back to their usual state of tranquility. and to soothe the oh-so-ruffled feathers.
Elrel I agree about tasteless bought chicken. our own chickens have a strong flavour, but are sometimes tough. My favourites are chicken casserole with homemade stuffing balls. Some king of meaty fish (eg back of cod) baked with chopped onion and red peppers in orange juice - plus chips. Had that today. Best of all shoulder of lamb slow cooked on top of vegetables.
Teetime. Not sure I could do frogs' legs even if they tasted like chicken. In Iceland, on a group holiday, we were served guillemot, or a seabird of some kind, so I opted for the trout alternative. Amazingly everyone else wanted the bird. I'm sure I could have eaten if if I hadn't known what it was. Same with horse meat, I've probably had it in ignorance. Indinana I totally sympathise. If eating out with friends I just say I don't like steak/pork chops/gammon and go for an easier-to-eat option.
