Troll hunting and thread deletions

I was deleted three times in one thread for citing a parallel situation where reactions to a similarly trivial and innocently-encountered trigger were not the same as the one by the subject of the thread.

Post deletions is a rite of passage Charleygirl! A bit like the first time you walk into the Argy and stagger back out on your knees 4 hours later!

Does it count if your thread is deleted because another was?

I hope so because I have never had another deleted and I now want a rite of passage as well as a stiff git.

Now Kitty can you tell me what a ‘stiff git’ is please ?

Lucca it is not a word which comes into my head although I think I am being brainwashed reading certain threads on GN!

It's one of those special pieces of paper that have your name and what you have won in fancy writing..................well, I think that's what it is!![blush}

Here you go kitty and nankate......??. One each - for mounting in the bedroom, of course ?

Kitty, it is sometimes called a Susstifickit. A GCE is a Susstifickit given to those who have done good (generally, anyway) when examined about their ejukayshun.

No-one gets a stiff git until they've gone round the Magic Square.
It's a bit like the Magic Roundabout but it's square and the Magic Roundabout is, well, it's round I fink.

Sorry to be voice of reason, , yes, I know it's a first, but feel that we ought to clear this up to avoid the Clique label!

My understanding is that a "stiff git" came about due to a typo or fat finger episode, and was meant to be a "stiff g&t", as in gin and tonic.

"And, so it came to pass that the wise people of GN took the stiff git to their bosom, (be those bosoms large or small) and embraced it, and henceforth it replaced the stiff g&t that was previously lauded and treasured by some (although not the drinkers of Chablis, Cava and other such hallowed beverages) and the members drank of it, and it was good"

I recall that Gillybob used to call them Stiffgits (say “certificates” quickly without enunciating the syllables properly) in Miss’s Maffs Klass when we were all deliberately misspelling/misunderstanding every post (for a lark!)

I of course always mounted mine in the bedroom although some may have done theirs in the drawing room.....?

Oh no are we back to Phoenix’s love life

Is the Clique label a white or red wine, phoenix?

Pantglas2 I remember those lessons. I had just joined Miss Marydoll’s class. I was very excited to see if we worked hard we might get a stiffgit. But my maffs wasn’t gud nuff for one.
I’m still hoping to get one sometime and I’ll happily mount it anywhere in my house?

kitty are you thinking of Veuve Clicquot, the champagne label?

I got 2 cases (when a case was 12 bottles!) for my 18th birthday!

Pantglas I have never "mounted" anything in the drawing room! We don't have one! However we do have a suiting room.

I will be mounting something on Wednesday.

Dear all, today after everything that has been said on this thread, I received an upsetting PM from a regular poster after I posted about my daughter's wonderful garden wedding a few weeks ago.
It totally ruined my day to the seaside with my husband, who was trying to cheer me up, as my life is basically rubbish at the moment!

You can read it hear if you are interested.

No, *Grannynannywanny^ and you werent never gunna get one for your English neether!

Marydoll that's not on. You must report it to GNHQ.

Please be aware they may delete your post of 16.51, as you may have identified another member.

marydoll whoever sent you that awful PM obviously has no idea how ill you’ve been and what your life has been like since the start of Lockdown. Why people feel the need to comment so unpleasantly on other people’s lives amazes me. I am so sorry you were upset and it spoilt your day.
You have always said what a lovely chap your SIL is, why someone would write that I don’t understand.

I'm shocked, Marydoll.

If you report the pm to GNHQ then I hope they will take steps to ban these vicious, cowardly posters who send nasty pms.

It would be a good thing if they could be named and shamed but, of course, you would then be the one in trouble.

How awful Marydoll. To send a PM like that is a cowardly thing to do and completely unjustified. Unfortunately the thread will probably be deleted now and all evidence of it removed.

phoenix cor aren’t you posh. You have a room where you wear suits. Do you have different suits for different times of day, like morning dress and dinner suits? How grand.
When you do your mounting on Wednesday, will you be getting your leg over? Do you get a stiff git for that? ?

Sorry, my post to Grannynannywanny crossed with Marydoll's, it seems rather inappropriate now
