“Another interesting fact, disc jockeys have thicker skin than normal people.”

“Missfoodlove.... they also have broader shoulders and are usually more forgiving (ahem). They also have more knockers than Dolly Parton, I find.”

“Aw, ghostwriter, that's the sweetest thing you've ever referred to me...”

“If DJs didn't have such thick skin they might have noticed a bit earlier how badly their crazy self-centred, self-obsessed posts were annoying so many of us.

They post about tricks they play on unsuspecting KFC workers and after getting a lot of condemnation for that decide to tell all about getting one over on a Sky salesman and the milkman AND torturing local stray dogs.

They continually started boring threads which often no one replied to and littered the forum with jokes only suitable for a 6 year old (which they then explain just in case we missed that it was supposed to be funny) and doggerel.

Yes, DJs are certainly thick skinned. Is that sweet enough for you?”

“Ghost, I was also going to post something derogatory about self centred Muppets.

I won't bother now, your last post just about does the job.”

“Very nice thank you.”

“A_M

No please do. Your input is always welcome. :-))”

“That self-centred Muppet of which the Mouse speaks might not be about me. I've refrained from talking about me if you bothered to notice this time. Chances are the Mouse might be speaking about someone else.”

“Yes of course he might be.

Obviously he is agreeing with me while having no idea who I am talking about or maybe another poster has also been talking about stray dogs in lifts, milkmen, KFC workers and Sky salesmen.”

“Another interesting fact anyone.....”

“Johnny Lennon's first gilfriend's name was Thelma Pickles.”

“Yes, by the time on this post MimiTheDJ has accumulated 41 posts on the HDM forum/news stories on Sunday September 30 2012. And still over 30 minutes to go before October.”

“And it is my fault. :'''-(((

Apologies to everyone out there, especially Anon_Geoff. It won't happen again, honest.”

“i think the word you're looking for is 'prolific'”

“Another interesting and helpful fact.... never ever let your dog eat 'human' chocolate. Especially dark chocolate. It's a fact that not everyone knows. Although the ghostwriter (who will now leave her post under mine) will know it very well.

A couple of weeks ago I stupidly left some chocolate fingers on my settee and my amazing Collie had a cheeky afternoon nibble whilst i was doing my garden. Apart from being a little sick he got away with it but I was bricking it for a while.”

“At the risk of upsetting g69 and her boring rants against the dj here's a few more facts,

Four grapes are enough to kill your dog

Licking a stamp burns 1/10 of a calorie

The QE2 did six inches to the gallon

If you multiply 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 you get 12,345,678,987,654,321

10% of all women on computer dating sites are teachers.”

“Now, if I'd have left that last line of yours that certain poster would have quipped 'Sorry Mimi, i am not technically a teacher and certainly NOT interested'. I'd have had a right chuckle and said 'Yeah you are'. Luckily, all you'll get is 'where's the pic of your lovely doggy?

'That QE2 must have had to have had some pretty decent fuel stocks eh?

And whilst we're on the dog poisons, we must not forget that dates, damsons and raisins are all a danger if my memory serves. I shall Google it to refresh the old grey matter. Basically if it says 'Whitworth's Dried Fruit' on the box, keep it out of paw's reach. Mine can actually get into cupboards but knows not to.”

“steveodore

I wouldn't have to go back too far to find you ranting against the dj too.

When he said he was leaving didn't you say 'good riddance' or 'don't come back' or something similar?

And you agreed with darkcheck on the DJ's thread about a magic lamp on a beach giving wishes when he posted that he wished the DJ would shut up - using a few *s to represent the f word.

Apart from that, my aunts dog eats punds of grapes at a sitting and a neighbour used to give her dog a bag of Cadbury's buttons every morning and it lived to be 17.”

“ghostwriter, we all had our spats and your opinion is that I wound the Forum up in the past. I'd like to hope that one day you can move on from this. You consistently point out my earlier 'misdemeanours' although it really doesn't seem to have had this damaging effect on the other members. I honestly think that this problem you have with me is getting worse. for goodness sake, one of the things you pick me up on is some mischief I got up to in 1971.

I actually find your input quite informative, entertaining and sometimes (when you've posted a humorous quip) amusing, even some of the stuff at my expense. I would be quite sad if you stopped posting. Now, these are not the words of someone who has been hurt by your comments. Someone else might never forgive. That would not be me. For me to stay on this forum I have to move on. So come on... shake on it.

Your aunt's dog is rare because grapes are notoriously bad for dogs. Ditto with the neighbour's Cadbury's buttons. Not doing this for any effect. Just saying.”

“Mimi

"I would be quite sad if you stopped posting."

I hope you haven't been talking to a certain poster's psychologist brother and think that by saying that, I will stop posting to make you sad.

And as for me picking up on mischief that you go up to in 1971, I don't have ESP you know. You posted it thinking it was funny and the fact that a) you did it and b) you bragged about it 41 years later pretty much sums up why I feel the way about you that I do.”

“There is a lot of conflicting 'information' out there about what pets can and can't eat.

Some say that onions and garlic are dangerous for dogs, others that you should feed garlic to dogs to prevent fleas and there are recipes for home made dog biscuits that tell you to add garlic powder.

Information on pet rabbits is really misleading. I have heard people say that the pet shop has told them not to feed fresh vegetables to their rabbits until they are 6 months old. Wonder how baby rabbits manage in the wild?”

“Whilst I appreciate your concern for the dogs in the lift of 1971. I didn't 'brag' about it. I was merely relating a story to Forum members about something mischievous that was funny. You obviously have an opinion about it but I cannot really think that the dog would have had long term trauma about it.

Anyway, as I say, most of the people that I've told this story to (my best mate is dog bonkers) have found it funny. I was actually quite surprised how it was taken. And I still chuckle when I think about the people on the top floor when they saw the mini-menagerie up there.”

“Mimi

So you still laugh at your childish anticts? You must have been so precious.”

“i can't help it if you think so.”

“G69,
I maybe did tell him to go forth etc, and yes he has been very annoying in the past with his look at me posting, but a few of his recent threads are no worse than any others on here. You on the other hand are like a dog with a bone, you constantly whinge about things he posts to the point where you have driven some of the better folk on here away. If you don't want to know what his view is on a lot of things is, do what I do and don't read them, it's as easy as that.

A lot of your of your posts on here have been very valid in the past, it's a pity you seem to have changed.”

“I believe ghostwriter69 still holds a torch for the DJ and this her way of "chatting him up"

In effect, she's using these forums as a dating site and waiting for those three little words........."Shall we meet?" lol

Wonder how long it'll take for her to report this one. LOL”

“pippa27


Strangely enough it wasn't long because I have just logged on to my PC and there you were - in your full glory, yet again. If anyone is like a dog with a bone, it's you.

And strangely enough, what you believe is of no concern to anyone but yourself but you know what happened last time you got really annoying don't you???

I will not be addressing anymore posts to you and I would appreciate the same response from you. If it continues as it did before... well put it this way, it won't.”

“steveodore

Yes but they have all returned haven't they? Albeit under very slightly different posting names.”

“Lighten up gw. We all have our little idiocyncracies, good & bad. Steveodore is a perfect example of someone who isn't my greatest fan but he chooses to ignore me. Good for him. I won't be losing sleep over it. I think he posts some interesting points and at times is witty. So are you gw and even my critics get a thumbs up from me the odd time such as harryoffdock2 and bt. And that would be the same whatever new name they come back posting as. But the Pippa threat above is another of your bullying examples. I quote... 'well put it this way, it won't'. This suggests to me that 1. You're gonna shoot her, or 2. You'll report her for addressing posts to you. You might not have been so rude to another member. Can I be so bold as to address this to you....

People are a bit fed up of it. Life is a party. Jump in! Don't let things fester, you'll end up sad and none of us want that. I don't suggest we all meet up for a fora-hug you understand. Mind you, if them numbers come in....

Are you sure that you've never posted under any other name gw, by the way?”

“Mimi

On another thread - one I started incidentially - you told me to stop addressing you and following you around the forums, so why do you think iot's OK for you to address me re comments I have made to other posters?

As for asking if I have posted under another name, that's irony isn't it AlterEgo sorry cheekibugga sorry GCtheDJ?”

“I once bumbed into ms Mouskouri back stage at the London paladium, i felt a right nana”

No he isn't!!! He is a pedigree Nuisance, very rare and extremely expensive.

I'm coming back as a duck because they have it all. They can walk, swim and fly. Or maybe a crane because they can do all that plus sit on tree branches.

steveodore - I thought you understood jz's reference and were just carrying on the joke, and I hadn't quite understood. Glad it's you and not me.”

“Is your dog's name 'Border Collie' Mimi? Because most people, including me, don't name their dogs after their breeds.

If they did there would be a lot of people in East Park shouting "Labrador" and "Spaniel". Which would cause quite a few problems if the dogs all answered to their names rather than their owner's voices.

I supposed I should be touched that you need to include my name in every post that you make, but I don't think I am.”

You said that on the sport forum too.”

“Redwas

You have done the unthinkable and made me agree with GCtheDJ.

How very dare you?

Apart from the above post you have posted 8 times since 25th June 2011. Five posts were on Hull City stories and 3 were on the same news story, where you were having digs at teachers.

So don't blame us because you don't post. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of threads in the last 17 months in which no one is calling anyone any names or making childish comments. FACT!!!!!!”

“AND, to add insult tro injury his last post actually contained a sentence that was mildly funny.”

“To all those that commented on my post , I received the result that I would have expected from those that are very active on this forum , along with the truth that yes !! I also made a similar comment on the Hull City AFC Forum site , I will stick to my opinion right or wrong .

However I may take a more positive approach in the future .”

“Redwas

Anyone can be active on this forum.

Anyone can start threads.

You complaining about the posts on here when you never post on here makes as much sense as me complaining about the seats in the KC Stadium - when I have never been.

If you think that any of the threads have an interesting topic that you would like to comment on, then comment. What does it matter that other members might be having an argument at the same time?

Is that how you were expecting me to respond?”

“Redwas, it is certainly not my or (I would think) the above member's intention to offend you or anyone on here. Why not think of something that you'd like to put forward for a comment or two, post your topic and we'll respond if we have anything to add. I know that usually the ghostwriter and myself are having our usual spats but this is not intended to stop the world from turning. I am pretty sure my forum friend(!) will agree. If two people in a club were having a regular verbal interchange it wouldn't close the club down would it, surely?”

“redwas - am I bothered?..... face bothered? .....am I bothered face?”

You have no idea what my intentions are. So talk for yourself.

that face certainly doesn't look bovvered.”

“I was guessing. Surely you don't mean to offend? But we defended each other there didn't we? It's like "Hey we can argue but don't think you can argue with us". Perhaps we are....... NAAAAAA!

You don't say much pal, but when you do.....”

“Redwas...... where you gone?”

“GCtheDXWZZZZZZZZZZZJ

You have no right to tell anyone what my intentions are. I wasn't defending you, I was attacking him.

Redwas seems to have vanished again, probably for another 2 months, but at least he has posted 9 times in the last 17 months. CrabbyJim came on here with much the same complaints, pretending to have been a regular poster a year ago, and when I told him that he didn't have a posting history he vanished in a puff of smoke.

I am just sorry that A_M seems to have also vanished.”

“Thanks for the comments , I'M still about reading the pos/neg's on this forum and of course the Hull City AFC Forum , I will post again on a more positive note in the near future Fact .”

“Ok peeps, another interesting factoid which is hopefully interesting and informative; cats are completely allergic to paracetamol. The slightest amount can kill them, as they are unable to metabolise the active ingredients and so, every bit of the paracetamol becomes a toxic dose.”

“I didn't know that Demonica. Do you reckon that this is the reason that a cat never complains about having a headache? :)) Just reading Redwas' post first post again about the members leaving childish comments about other members. I am definitely going to turn over a new leaf asap (probably as a New Year's Resolution) because I've looked at the rest of the posters on this site and I reckon we all are what is collectively good about it. I think I must have had a reaction to those holly berries. I'll consume ANYTHING after a few tinnies! Ha.”

“Demonica

Cats - and dogs and rabbits - react differently to all sorts of substances which is why it is so crazy to use them in drug testing.

Penicillin is toxic to guinea pigs and aspirin causes birth defects in almost all animals apart from humans.”

“Ghostwriter - Penicillin is also toxic to many humans”

“Yes - but it is toxic to ALL guinea pigs. Good job it wasn't tested on them or it would have been thrown away.”

“Ghostwriter69; I totally agree with you. Animal testing is never going to be a credible form of monitoring drug safety in humans. It is unnecessary and completely cruel.

Another factoid; brown tree snakes in Guam are highly poisonous and kill hundreds of people per year. They also breed prolifically. They are allergic to paracetamol and the government of Guam now drops paracetamol infused dead mice into the jungle so that the snakes consume them and die.
