Quite OK - but I have my Windoze on the oldest harddrive in my system. Bit frayed at the seams, the wee old thing.

last week i conected with a chap i knew in hanover, funny story

his dad was a soldier and his mum german, he was born in a BMH

Reading and writing are two problems no army ever has solved.

Morning chaps, how's it going?

Well, I hope

hi anne

Hi Taff, you at w*rk? Hope it's relatively quiet, no emergencies to deal with at least?

Anything intersting planned for the week off, or just Christmas shopping(night)?

all fine just keep getting yikesed on the moral majority thread, for using unacceptable words, pointing out that unnaceptable words originate in another post, but does that one get pulled???? not a chance, its pick on taff night

Unlucky, Taff. I would say, if it bothers you that much, then yikes the originating post, but I know that's not your style. I doubt it's 'pick on Taff' night, but you're the one who picked it up & ran with it? - although I missed your posts, I'm afraid.

Sounds interesting

hers the post where it starts

"The Archbishop of Canterbury has expressed his concern at the election of the second openly gay bishop in the Anglican Church."

i.e.

"Hey guys, aren't Yank Christians supposed to be real hard ass bigots?

And you are electing shirt-lifters?

Is it down to us UK Archbigots etc to keep up the homo-hating?"

Looks like a total to me. I did have a colleague in London who was gay, & went on to become an Anglican Minister. , was I surprised, cos sometimes their attitude was decidedly unChristian, not sure that's the right word, but maybe compassionate would be better

i point out that those words were offensive and I get yikesed?????

Are you expecting that post to get yikesed here? Then that would be 'pick on Taff' night.

You pointed them out & was yiksed for it? Personally I don't get that, as I took the whole message as a dig at the A of Canterbury for being seen to be more 'conservative' than the American Church involved.

Admittedly, the language wasn't pretty, so I don't know why you were yiksed, but not that. Perhaps the better way would have been to yikes the original message if you felt that strongly about it. Sorry, sound like an ACE (not my usual MO, it has to be said, I'm more likely to be yiksed myself).

Just for interest, how do you feel in general when a post get yikesed?

guilty and worried

This post has been removed.

I think I woke up one of the neighbours with laughing at the last post. (not that I condone it in any way at all of course<straightfacesmiley&gt.

To be honest, I can see how it went downhill from there, but you're turn of phrase is legendary

Weren't you the one how coined the immortal phrase 'wofftoptic'?

I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one who feels guilty in those circumstances.

Good grief, now that's been modded. Perhaps a change of topic is called for here?

<<'wofftoptic'?>>

guilty as charged
