Gordon Bennett!

Has genes got a rule where spoilsports, who randomly report posts can be banned?

Allan was using alternatives for rude words - what's wrong with that?

Even my old granny would do the same - we (eventually) knew what she meant by Fanny Adams, because, when asked if there was any cake, she'd say, 'There's Fanny Adams', and we knew there wasn't any one in the larder, let alone anyone called Fanny Adams.

Genes really need to sort the RR'er out as you say. They spoil the boards becoming fun again like the old days. :-|

I'm sorry people been busy all afternoon just hitting the boards now...so the highly offensive OP was finally RR and never saw what Allan wrote but knowing his normal gutter humour I'm not shocked at all :-D :-D

I think this proves the RR has been RR for the sake of it and not for any offense at all bless....this is a sad time of year for some people and I think this is a result of that......as for the story still laughing and yet that wasn't RR LOL

Allan's post was totally inoffensive Caroline, I read it just before it got rr'd. Mine was more offensive than his for sure :-|

Caroline

Caroline Report 28 Dec 2018 23:38

Well that I can believe so expect you to be RR again soon you only have yourself to blame :-D :-D :-D

Caroline

Caroline Report 28 Dec 2018 23:39

I seem to think Fanny Adams might have been local to the south coast....what was it the army didn't like the tinned meat and they all called it after the missing/murdered girl....really would look it up but cooking a very late dinner for family :-D

Allan

Allan Report 28 Dec 2018 23:42

I deleted it, Caroline, before the RR'r had time to report it.

I was in shock after hearing the news that they are not making shortbread any longer ;-)

It did initially refer to naval meat rations, Caroline, but her initials gave it another meaning. :-(

She was a little girl who was murdered and legend had it that the meat was hers.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention, Fanny Adams an 8 year old girl who was murdered in Alton in 1867! :-S

Caroline

Caroline Report 29 Dec 2018 00:26

There you go memory not too bad then....and yes the initials do mean something else :-D

Allan so what was actually RR then if you deleted it...now I'm getting confused!

Allan

Allan Report 29 Dec 2018 01:52

No need to be confused, Caroline. I think that you may have seen the post before I deleted it.

It was about me hanging around just to annoy (though I did use another word) the RR'r.

I thought better of it and deleted it, obviously before the RR'r saw it

Caroline

Caroline Report 29 Dec 2018 02:46

No I wasn't on all afternoon but oh well......

So .........

DEAR RR CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT I WROTE BUT IT WAS ALONG THE LINES OF AT LEAST HAVE SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY BE OFFENDED BY BEFORE RRING.......AND NOW TODAY YOU'RE MAKING YOURSELF LOOK EVEN SILLIER BUT ANYWAY HOPE YOU HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY YOUR NEW YEAR BRING YOU MORE HAPPINESS THAN THIS ONE SEEMS TO HAVE :-D

They possibly have retired - hence they're now stalking the boards :-|

Caroline Report 29 Dec 2018 10:27

Maybe they can find a new hobby for 2019...
