General Chat

Anyone can read the posts that where posted on Louises thread and they will see they were not Wumming !! at all....mind you alot does not make sense because Of Johns deleted posts......which I found upsetting not only to others but to Louise herself..........I was going to delete my post but seeing as Wumming was mentioned I have decided to leave mine where they are......

I will give one apology and that is to Hayley....im so sorry this was brought onto your thread Hayley on my part anyway........ <3

"wumming" (an awful word) means winding up, and does not mean responding intelligently to a single poster who is clearly trying to wind others up.

Just in case anyone was confused :)

Have deleted my posts on Louise's thread. I only nudged it forward to say I think that was the original thread that mentioned this adoption programme Long Lost Families. Most subsequent posts were wumming, imo. Yes, it would give totally the wrong impression to a new poster. So please all take that on board.

John................I respect your opinion, don't agree with it, but you are as entitled to yours as anyone else.

Shall we just agree to disagree and move on now
:-)

oh do give it a rest John

Kitty? Hate to disagree. But in this big Genes chat room we have groups who get together to talk about Wales, Australia, talk about funny moowchios smiley things every day, talk about old childhood memories, books, poetry etc.

And if someone talks about a TV series called Long Lost Families, we tend to all crowd round whoever began that thread. Not split into 3 or 4 little groups and all discuss same things.

If we really cannot find thread from previous week of a TV series like Long Lost Families, can we not start a thread each week to discuss each individual programme?

Back to the OP, I loved it and as usual my husband sobbed.

There seems to be an invisible bond created at birth that somehow draws these families together............most of the children adopted at birth and having really happy childhoods still have that drive to find what is missing from their lives. :-)

Imagine a large room with lots of people sitting around talking to each other or listening to various conversations without wishing to join in.

One group will be discussing a topic, then another group might have their own chat about the same or a similar topic................would anyone be circling the room and making everyone talking about a particular topic either sit together or be stopped from their conversation?

I don't think it would work too well do you?

This board is like that, all of us are free to either join in, ignore, watch and not comment or go off on another tangent ......it works :-D

Here comes the gang again. Risible. Absolutely stunned!! "Am I so wrong?" was a rhetorical question. Of course I am right.

The very people who criticised me for duplicated posts when I was a newby last year :-) :-) :-)

It is NOT a good idea to have 3 threads last night on what is basically the same TV programme. Black is black, white is white. No idea why AnnC comes to a different conclusion. Perhaps we will get an explanation - probably we won't :-( :-(

So why, John, have you felt the need to comment on Louise's thread?
You even admit that "We were not discussing Long Lost Families on Louise's thread" so why you should even mention it I do not know.
When you say "we" I am a little confused - have you deleted your original contributions to that thread?

wrong? definitely

insensitive? definitely

We were not discussing Long Lost Families on Louise's thread. Probably SueinLeeds was right to start the second thread on 29 July because several were watching and enjoying but not commenting on Louise's thread, which I agree was about her personal search and not about the series.

Several made comments on Sue's thread, so I could not understand why this thread was started. After all, Hayley had contributed to Sue's thread previous week.

I just feel that we should have one thread to discuss a TV programme about reuniting adopted families. Am I so wrong? :-S

Miffed here too :-| :-|

I am not going to add to Lou's thread because it's spoiled already and I fear I would just pour petrol on the fire.

I am delighted she has found her birth Mother and is in touch. The poor girl has only been a member since July and her undoubted joy must be tempered by a couple of posts on there.

Bleedin' miffed in the Valleys!

To my knowledge at least one of them was NOT about the same topic.

It was actually somebody trying to trace their birth mother.

It is always important to read a thread properly to actually understand what it is about.

John did you really need to add to Louise's adoption thread?

Absolutely stunned!

Have deleted my Long Lost Family Thread. Wasn't trying to be rude last night. I was just having a moan (as Suzanne elegantly pointed out). I posted on thread begun 29 July by SueinLeeds (who in her OP said she could not find original thread). Then we have 2 more new threads, one discussing the very points I wanted to discuss.

If I could tell you how much grief I had last year when I started a thread about a subject already under discussion, you would not believe it. I was just suggesting it would be easier not to have 4 threads about same TV programme. Not all that much interest in programme anyway, it seems. One of my favourites though. :-)

The subject matter of this post is quite correct, even if the poster is an insufferable lout and a bounder ;-)

:-D :-D <3

:-D :-D :-D :-D

*** Nudge*** :-D

But of course feel free to add your own thread, theres no law against it ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

I just wonder how they select the people. Just emailed somebody who said he was rejected last year and is waiting to hear the result for the 2014 program
