RE: Stroking egos

Sorry what?

Ohh you mean feel bad....yehh, that lasted for all of 1.5000 seconds..

RE: Stroking egos

I'm lost ...who are all these men and women you're talking about? Because I haven't' seen any men stroking any women's egos on the forums here?

Or do you mean the men and women on the blogs? (which might explain it as I never read them)

RE: Stroking egos

Seems you're not too happy either yourself ...well...going by the tone of your last few comments anyway....

RE: Why are there so many Islanders posting nothing but hate filled post in the forum threads lately?

I didnt' say it was a secret Tiger_moth, nor was that the point I was making....

I can assure you I, and everyone I know, would be furious if someone took one of our youtube videos and stuck it on a dating site without being asked if it was ok....regardless of the content. Dating sites are notorious for attracting the weirdest of the weird and the last place anyone would want their personal details posted for anyone to read..

I guess people have different standards when it come to how we treat and respect our friends....as well as their personal info...

RE: Stroking egos

Ah sure, as the site troll lol loll loll lol.. ..I can do and say as I please doncha know

RE: What do you know today, that you didn't know yesterday?

Definitely not looking that one up *shiver* I moved house and apart from the very odd one I never really had spiders in my old house..but this house...jumping Jerusalem ..you should have seen what was walking up my kitchen wall one night....it was like someting out of "Alien" it was so big...could nearly see it drooling...

Donkey's years ago, I once almost walked into a spiders web that went from the shed roof down to the floor..it was like a spider had buiilt a wall at least 9 foot x 9foot.. I never saw the spider that built it, nor did I want to....it was probably huuuuge....

RE: Stroking egos

Oh I'm not sure it could have been much worse Dino (sorry, I can't be bothered trying to type your new name, apologies)..but yes, I guess you're here a long time, so as you say, water off a ducks back...

RE: Stroking egos

Ah god..now I feel bad.

RE: 20 years of failure

Doesn't indeed.. And don't doubt for one second they're not plotting. I'm wondering who their next target is going to be....Iran has nuclear don't they, so they'd be careful with that...Turkey is kinda running with the hare and chasing with the fox, so that could prove tricky..The US doesn't want to inadvertently upset either Europe or Russia....I'm guessing Turkey, given it's geographical location....but whoever it is..you wait, there'll be a reason hitting your tv screens once they've decided...

Just changed my mind...think it's going to be Iran....


Reading that sounds like I'm being facetious...I'm anything but...

RE: Stroking egos

I can usually see the humour hidden in your threads and most comments......but we compliment each other? Emmm no offence...but I don't think so

RE: Stroking egos

Yes, I saw that and wondered how low does someone have to go before they've hit rock bottom...I think that post was one of the lowest I've read in here.

No idea if you replied to it..but when I did I noticed not one other person said one single word to him about how bad it was...Seems that kind of behaviour is ok on here..so it doesn't just speak as to the character of the author, but also everyone else who read it, said nought and kept walking....

RE: Stroking egos

Just goes to show how little you can tell about a person via online exchanges...fishing for compliments was never my style.

RE: Stroking egos

No, I thought it was another one of your threads about ugly women and ..I dunno..their innumerable failings I guess. So I got bored reading it...

Just saw the word "forum" though and realised it must be about something I haven't noticed..I can't recall any men on here stroking women's egos

You might point me in the right direction because I could do with a bit of that meself

RE: 20 years of failure

That's a lot of equipment and it would certainly prove useful I'm sure...I wonder though did they also leave behind the people who know how to use it, maintain it and repair it? And what about the consumables and spare parts? Is Maplin in Afghanistan I wonder?

RE: Retirement, what warm country?

Portugal and Ireland Grandsiozzie

Portugal is probably the better option if you're into cars though..

RE: Spain

the brits in Spain were/are mostly UK pensioners..so hardly tax dodgers....

Spain isn't a tax haven either...

so who are these tax dodgers you're talking about then?

Unless you're making it up of course

RE: Stroking egos

RE: Why are there so many Islanders posting nothing but hate filled post in the forum threads lately?

My accusations? Let me remind me you, what I said in the first place that you're trying so very very hard to make a mountain of:

Only a man with an extremely fragile ego would read that and manage to find insult in it or something unacceptably personal. Or....someone trying to start a fight.... I suspect it's both.

As for my "beyond belief" accusations. There are none, other than those you're making up in your own little head...I notice you didn't have anything to say to the first paragraph though. Would that be because you couldn't make an argument out of it?

I understand your fascination with Bhudda stuff now. Fragile egos need biiiig scaffolding!

RE: Spain

Nope lol...I don't get it Ali

RE: De-clutter

Why don't you stop being so nasty!

Someone being given clothes does not make them unemployed.. silly little man

RE: Spain

A sea insect Ali???

You'll have to explain that one to us for sure

RE: What do you know today, that you didn't know yesterday?

The immigrants say the same about white westerners as well you know...

Everyone has a smell...and given the amount of meat most westerners eat you can be sure if they got a whiff of how they actually smell, they'd be horrified...

They only notice their smell because they're probably not around it that much and it's different...

RE: Spain

Shame Selenite isn't around..she's in Spain..Oh, and Bnaughty too. But he doesn't seem to be around either. Looks like your stuck with the dregs Ali

RE: De-clutter

There's a phrase Orzz...

The more you own, the more it owns you.

An idea might be to imagine you're house is on fire and you have 30 minutes to save the things that mean something to you....stick a sticker on it.

Everything else, give it away ,donate it, sell it or dump it...

House decluttered in one day

RE: What do you know today, that you didn't know yesterday?

I'd rather walk than have to get on a bus here. It woudn't bother me in Ireland, I'd happily take a bus if I had to. But English public transport (and their cities) are absolutely filthy and stink to high heaven.

I used to take regular flights from Ireland to UK and I always dreaded the approach to London because I'd be gagging from the stench... .

RE: Why are there so many Islanders posting nothing but hate filled post in the forum threads lately?

Given the calibre of women you've told us you dated, it doesn't surprise me you'd think something like that....

RE: Why are there so many Islanders posting nothing but hate filled post in the forum threads lately?

No irony. But what I do see is someone who either doesn't understand context or is deliberately manipulating it by taking one sentence out of a totally different conversation I had with someone else to suit whatever point they're trying to make..or would that be "agenda" I wonder...rolleyes:



Regarding personal...and since you're happy to discuss other threads on here and take them out of context. I thought your posting a friend's video on here, that gives his personal details was in seriously bad taste. I found that to be about as disrespectfully personal as one can get...No idea if you asked his permission or not...but I don't recall your having said it was....so one can only assume.

RE: Why are there so many Islanders posting nothing but hate filled post in the forum threads lately?

Must I?

7 plate dinners in Italy?

That sounds like the taster menu. Better bring a packed lunch if it is, because that's a 7 courses where each course would barely feed a mouse

RE: What do you know today, that you didn't know yesterday?

I'd rather pull teeth than do that Grandsiozzie
