“I wish I had the talent to haggle , when I go abroad and haggle over an item that I wish to buy , I walk away thinking that I got the deal , only to find out someone always gets it cheaper .

Now how do I diverse away from this thread ? another talent I ain't got YET !!!!”

“I wish I had learned to play the guitar.
There you go, no thread drift. Happy Redwas?”

“Redwas

Once I was in Corfu (I think) and I haggled for something in a market. Can't remember what now.

Later I saw the same item in a shop at the price I'd haggled it down to in the market.

I think it's a con - so you can have another go. ;-))”

“I have no musical talent - when I try singing people offer me money to leave. It would have been nice to be able to play something.”

“John

I may change mine then. I wish I could sing really well. But no, I'll stick with being able to speak 15 foreign languages fluently.”

“I`d love to be able to sing. I want to belt out a power ballad and not make the dogs howl.”

“Well I can sing and speak 21 languages fluently , But if only I could tell the truth !!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOP's”

“Too much honesty, Redwas - you'd never succeed as a politician”

“John1947
Yer !!!!! Guess I'll have to stick with sitting in the House of Lords next to my mate 2Jags . Ooooop's I've gone off the thread , still I'll fall in line with so many others .”

“Redwas

You are slipping away from the topic. How very dare you?”

“Ghostwriter69
Just following the trends , you know how it is !!!”

“Redwas,

Ha ha, the slippery slope. Welcome to the club.”

“Redwas

There are only a handful of regular posters on here so if everyone just posted an response to the initial discussion question, the threads would all end after about 10 responses.

The comments need to develop a bit but maybe not end in the usual abuse between 2 posters in particular. One of course being me!”

“I would like to be able to use adobe illustrator and design a website and marketing materials without having to talk to designers who are all obnoxious ...self important ..emperors clothes wearing ****s

Redwas your a right moaning minnie ... stop pretending to be vulnerable... the randomness and entertainment on a thread is what makes it dull ... if you want to be a missionary style poster good for you”

“I would love to be more scientific, logical and financially astute!”

“bt13jz
Please tell just what you mean by the terms "moaning Minnie and pretending to be vulnerable " was it really called for ? You sound more like a designer yourself .

TO all those that posted on my threads "thank you " BUT I'M NOT HANGING AROUND FOR IDIOTS LIKE bt13jz .”

“Redwas

bt13jz is not an idiot. She is the funniest and most interesting poster on here.

You have seen yourself how abusive posters can be towards each other and in the scheme of things her comment is very mild.

But maybe you never intended to stay long anyway?”

“g69,
Ignore it.”

“If I could talk to the animals......”

“steveodore

Sorry but no one insults jz without me putting my views forward.

forum fool - please read the initial question. Though I am hardly be surprised that you would completely ignore it. NO MAGIC POWERS. OK?”

“Redwas,

The trick to enjoying a forum like this is to not take it too seriously.
When I first joined over a year ago I used to get so annoyed and frustrated at people going `off thread` and would try my best to get it on track.
I learnt very quickly not to take remarks personally, most are tongue in cheek anyway.

Once you`ve been here a while you`ll get used to all the different personalities. There are those that argue for the sake of it, those that do their damndest to throw a thread into disarray, the sarcastic and the comical and the downright stupid.

Once you get used to us, you`ll find the forum quite addictive.”

“I prefer Forum Jester. I meant a Ghostwhisperer but thought I'd get someone's back up. Turns out I got the reaction I WASN'T looking for on this occasion! Hu hu”

“flossy

You haven't said one nice thing about your family members :-(”

“Oops, slip of the tongue - horsewhisperer, i think i meant ha!”

“g69,

Oh yes...sorry about that. I did say comical which is a good thing ;-)

Redwas,

Ofcourse there are the interesting, the intelligent and the really funny ones too.”

“I always wanted to be...... a lumberjack.”

“Redwas - The fact you have to keep telling us your new and your age indicates to me that your neither and you 'was' someone else

The new, old and frail character is a smokescreen to butter up the forum kind hearts and we all think aaawww I will get a wurthers original from redwas... hence hamming up vulnerability

Underneath you have aggressive dominant dark side... dictating to keep on thread and SHOUTING WITH YOUR CAPS LOCK ON...You made an entrance moaning and you have continued to moan — hence moaning mini...

You don't have to hang around for me ... do pretend 70 year olds hang around? ... Yes they do usually round the knobbly knees!”

“flossy - give me a clue which one am I

"There are those that argue for the sake of it, those that do their damndest to throw a thread into disarray, the sarcastic and the comical and the downright stupid"”

“g69 - thanks mate”

“Sorry about the caps but WHAT ABOUT THE SELF-CENTRED ONES? Hu hu.”

“Always wanted to be able to lick my eyebrows.... thought it might have made me even more popular.”

“posting on here is more underhand than belonging to MI5 and being a double agent twice, infiltrating the CIA and the KGB while making tea at the MSS.

I told flossy a while ago that there is probably only her and me posting on here and as I know who I am, she must be everyone else. Well I think jz is someone else but as for the rest of you ... steveodore, I'm looking at you.”

“jz

I posted

"Sorry but no one insults jz without me putting my views forward."

But I didn't actually say what my views were, so maybe you shouldn't be thanking me. ;-P”

“jz,
You can choose your own personality from the list, either the first or the second ;-)

dj,

Those are the ones to be completely ignored.”

“g69,

If theres only me, you and jz on here and you are you and jz is jz so I must be everyone else, does mean you think I`m Pippa, cara_mia, wozza, dj, uncle tom cobley and all? :-(”

“I have a twin sister called bt13jz. We used to call her biti when whe was tiny. Well, I say twin, we were conjoined once. But she'll say it's another one of my figments.

The former barmaid isn't a twin, just thinks she got a lift in my car/van once.

Thank you Flossy for your continued support. You can call me anything! :D”

“flossy

Yes that's about it. You must be exhausted keeping all those personalities going. You probably dropped wozza because you were wearing out your ??? keys.”

“dj,

Grow up.”

“bt13jz

I love the Wurthers , and i have never come across a more irritating itch such as yourself , I'm not looking at sharing my wurthers with any-one , nor am i aggressive ( unlike some ) or frail , yes I am in my seventies and use only one user name that I post under , i'm not seeking to be noticed , and were you get all your written tripe from " god knows " but your a disgrace to the forum .

But Alas I'm off , you nasty object .”

“Flossy...... never!”

“g69,

Well thank you very much. Pippa ?????”

“no flossy, that's a step too far.”

“g69,

I`ll let you off then ;-)”

“Wish I knew who the chavnan was. It's eating me!!”

“Alas .... I feel like I am back in the headmasters office getting a jolly good telling off from Mr Redwas ...

DJ we all know chavnan was you and your begging her back”

“I swear it wasn't. I loved it though. I remember once laughing after I'd just taken a gulp of tea and I nearly choked. I actually had you down as the culprit. It was definitely your sense of humour.”

“In fact, I really wish I had thought of it myself. I could have had some fun with it. Come on Chavnan..... show your face. You tickle me.”

“Can't find the thread now but which poster suggested that I go into the shop opposite Primark to look at the Apple PCs? Own up now because you have cost me almost £1,300.

I bought one. MacBook Air.

I am surprised that they let me into the shop because I wasn't reverant enough. He brought mine out of the back in a box, held the 'opening the box knife' out to me and asked, "Do you want to open it?"

I repled, "No." and he said most people do. x:-8

Anyway I am still on my old one and will set it up tomorrow.”

“That would have been the lovely jenoh. Happy to help.”
