General Chat

Hayley. I agree with your post. That was my only reason in posting. Perhaps on reflection I should not have nudged Louise's post forward. Or put my own sarcastic thread up about LLF.

Yes, I didn't like Mrs T as a politician (sure she was a nice enough person) and may have let my political bias eke out a bit over the time of her death. I did think a funeral like Churchill rather than Ted Heath was expensive and totally uncalled for.

Good idea if we treat each of these LLF programmes as a seperate entity. No idea who Minnie Driver was (never seen her in anything), but liked her and enjoyed progarmme immensely.

No idea who "star" is next week either. I really must start catching up with some of this modern culture. :-) ;-)

*wot Hayley and Rose said*

For anyone that is interested :

In the case of the LLF threads, we normally have a reminder one ....dont forget 9 pm tonight blah blah and most of us will comment on thatthread about that episode if we feel the neeed too, as Sue in Leeds posted last weeks in my mind :-D that episode was finished dealt with, I couldn't find another one for this weeks espisode that night, so I posted this thread. Kurdos probably watched the programe the day after, this thread had been done with and she/he doesnt look back on pages of pages and posted there own which is fine. Now next week I suspect a new thread will be started to do with that episode and this one will sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Normally it gets on my wires if there is more than 1 thread on the same subject all posted on the same day clogging up page 1 , say for instance a important news items,there is just no need, if I remember John you were constantly posting threads with regards Maggie Thacther and I think most of us were sick of the sight of her name even a week after her funneral like you was obessed and couldnt quiet understand why you was doing so, well I think the penny had dropped for most of us ;-)

Eeny, meeny, miny moe :-D :-D :-D

Can I phone a friend?

and ask yourselves - if you really need to - who is the instigator of any unrest on these boards

To no-one in particular Jax :-) ....just that someone was saying why was there many threads about same subject re : Long Lost Families? so stating why Sue's thread was up the board
(and I had deleted my comment to Hayley afterwards).....

If that is a reply to me Mau?

I am talking about the adoption thread made by Louise, that had nothing to do with Long lost families...only that she mentioned watching it

Sorry I bumped Sue's thread up the boards for Hayley (she said she couldn't find the original )......so sue me :-S...."Much ado about nothing" as per :-(

I cannot understand why someone would trawl through the boards to pick up a thread last posted on over 3 weeks ago :-S

How many pages did you have to go back to find it?

I was the one that reported you John...how dare you say that !!!

Finished end of!!! and happy to see the post has gone.........

John, when you posted last night I ignored it...but I can tell you for sure only ONE LLF thread was on page one at that time..... you might as well argue that 'we' should have dug up last year's thread on the subject and continued it rather than duplicate, why didn't YOU do that instead of picking up on an adoption thread?

I really didn't want to respond last night, and don't now, after that sheep/suicide comment the other night , I'd really rather avoid you altogether however interesting the 'topic' might be.

I hope you notice that there is or has been more than one poetry thread on here? more than one cookery thread, more than one gardening thread...they are all 'specific' topics, but one person might want to post their OWN slant on the topic without having to add it to an existing thread... I don't have the same take on programmes as other people maybe, why should I not add 'my own' thread?

If anyone would like to know what various comments were based on, please feel free to PM me.
I would rather keep it off Hayley's thread and let it return to the actual topic without being taken over.

Totally agree with that, OFITG. I rather doubt your post was meant to be supportive of what I have been saying last night and this morning, but I read it in that spirit.

ROFL @ Errol. Totally risible :-D :-D

This is not specifically related to the topic of the "No long lost families thread???" however on this thread and other threads it never ceases to amaze me that some people are commenting but not making any sense.

Somehow, and for some reason only known to them, they have the capacity of cunningly maneuvering the simplest comment made by anyone by turning and twisting it into something completely different from the original comment.

I can only presume they enjoy watching the reactions their game of intrigue provokes and that they get some weird satisfaction from winding people up by playing out their fantasy.

Just a general comment.

John can you really not leave it?
I fail to see how anyone was trying to wind you up - they were responding to daft posts and the comments were valid and reasoned.
Now, please let Hayley's thread get back to its actual topic.

Not too sure why my post has been reported, and no idea who has done it. I think I did say in that reported post that I had been wound up this morning by wummers. If I get reported for saying that again in this post, I will take the risk.

I have been wound up this morning by people who love to wum if they spot certain posters posting. If they don't like the description "wind up merchant" and cannot make reasoned points in debate, they should take advice of others and not get involved with certain posters. Simples!

I thought it was 5 last night but not really important.

Hayley - apologies for the unpleasantness on your thread.

Yes, and I would like to apologise to Louise and Hayley too. And Kuros and SueinLeeds.

It was a genuine question. I did think having 3 active threads on same TV programme last night was a bit confusing. It did confuse my little brain. That was the only point I was making.

Not trying to upset anyone - honest.

Edit. This was final post of Louise on 19 July:
"It was the outcome I've always wanted. Ill be coming off this site now, but for the people who offered their support and help, I thank you. And the people who were less than helpful, I thank you also, cause all you did was made me more determined. To Errol The Sheep, a huge thank you. For listening and offering words of wisdom that I listened to.
Lou x "

"please take it on board" :-S the rest of us already have taken it on board - common good manners and respect for others
