Thank you, Viv. So are you....lol BC

Morning all!! I'm still in agreement with you all. Christine x

Agree with you Jeannette, so only come on here a little and look at certain threads but don't bother with a lot, too much hassle. ~Ignore them and they may go away---not as good as it used to be is it?

Ps Don't know what's happened over the weekend as i was out all yesterday at a Nurses Re-union ---but not really interested in people causing hassle----aren't they sad???

*wanders off to find a clique*

We all have different opinions and senses of humour, but it's the way we put things across that counts. Most of you who have replied on this thread will know me fairly well, and know that I can be extremely outspoken and make sure I get my point across (and I know my own faults lol!). BUT I don't harbour grudges, once I've had my say that's it, and if I'm in the wrong then I will be big enough to admit it in public. There are lots of people on here who I simply 'agree to disagree' with - and surely that's the way it should be? I'm not suggesting for one minute that we form any sort of 'clique' just because we are all in agreement on this point, but it would be nice if we all agreed to support and add to each other's threads; not to necessarily all agree because that would be a terribly boring thread, but to provoke interesting discussion and to have some good, fairly clean (!) fun with no personal nastiness. Mandy :)

** just followed Jeanette and Helen .... ah yes, I remember it .... *** :-)

Hi Jeanette and everyone Oh how lovely it is to see this thread and know that all you lovely people are still around. I agree with everything that has been said on here. Chrissie xx

Mandy, I'm like you - say my piece and then its forgotten. Sadly, we seem to be in the minority lately. Paul x

Thanks Jeanette for posting this ..... t consider myself neither an oldie or a newbie but I did mention on one of the threads the other night that I hadn't a clue who these people were and I read these threads daily! Debby

I agree with Mandy and Paul , but it appears a post I made on somebody elses thread on Friday has upset somebody .

I also agree with everything that's been said. Board has been pathetic due to squabbles and bitchiness(can I say that?) I love to join in the quizzes etc. and sometimes it is just nice to read the threads and learn about others' lives in a friendly way. I've been a member for three years and it took me a while to post a message. It would be a shame if we lost our Gen.Topics board. Love and Peace Mau XXX

Okaaaay - perhaps we can resolve not to rise to their very obvious bait by a) not adding to contentious threads and b) ignore the posts that are plainly out to disrupt other people's threads and carry on with whatever the topic was supposed to be over and around those posts. That's not to say that there can't be some banter but I mean those posts that have clearly been premeditated and planned to annoy. We are not stupid, we can see what they are out to do. Perhaps then they will tire of their games because that is all they are. Mags xx

*round of applause for Mags*

By the way, I ''opened a bar'' yesterday evening, but very few added - would that have been, maybe, because people felt wary about adding anything anywhere? It was at the same time as ''other'' threads. I was trying to lighten the atmosphere.

Hi jeanette, wondered what thread you were talking about when I read your message on mine. Now I know - sorry. Yes, sounds like all us good people have had enough of the low mentality of some people on here and are ready to stand up and be counted.

HI, I'M FAIRLY NEW TO GR , WHEN I FIRST STARTED I USED TO SIT AND READ WHAT PEOPLE WERE SAYING AND NEVER GET ANY[WORK] DONE I USED TO LAUGH MY SOCKS OFF AT SOME OF THE THINGS PEOPLE WERE SAYING THERE WAS SUCH A LOVELY ATMOSPHERE BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE, PLEASE CAN WE HAVE IT BACK .I NEED A LAUGH. HAZEL.

I was there Maid Marion, I also started another thread earlier but only a few joined in...Mind you , I was competing with the football!!!

You found me Trish! lol I did think that this thread would have disappeared by the time I got up this morning, but it looks like there are alot of like minded peeps on here. And look who we've got replies from.......all the people I hope to see when I come on, but who are posting less and less these days!

TRISH AND HADDOCK FOR PRESIDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
