TWINKLE

I am an ARTIS t E  my friends! What did you expect? I wanted to use some of what you said squirrel but thought I would come over as too cliché!  You see?  I worry about what you think about me and I don't even know you!

I can't say I like or don't like Odile because I don't know her. On a forum is as easy to portray yourself anyway you wish as it is difficult to be how you are in 'real life'. I once met Tresco and she told me I was "just like it says on the label" and I think that quite a few of you here on the forum are too. I hope Odile ISN'T because to me she came over as very sanctamonious. Other people here however saw a different Odile and I know that she was also supportive and a friend to some members here. There ARE bullies here on the forum as there are on ALL forums because it is so easy to hide behind the computer.  I myself have posted comments here while wickedly giggling to myself - often inspired by a glass of red or rosé or something a bit stronger.  For some it is letting off steam.  For others it is very offensive and others - just "words in the air". We CHOOSE to air our views and opinions on an open forum.  We are NOT obligated. In 'real life' it is easier to avoid bullies, creeps, perverts and all the other unpleasant things in life than it is on an open forum.  My rosé tinted point being....stay away or be prepared (thank you Brown Owl!) I know this has been said a thousand times before - but sometimes some people need to be reminded.  

[quote user="Weedon"] Here I am afraid I must lapse into my normal mode.  If what you say is true why do up to 20 people a day write to tell me that my wossname is too small and would benefit from some kind of supplement, I thought that only I knew that?  [/quote] [:D][:D][:D] I would have freaked out too if I thought my details had been revealed on an open forum without my consent. I have had my fair share of creepy things occuring on this forum and the mods have always been helpful and reassuring to me. 

[:D]  

Wooly! What have I told you about playing with your food?![:)]

I'm sorry to tell all you respectful dog owners but the problem is -  that they smell! You can't smell it because you are used to it.  It's like people who smoke can't smell the stink of tobacco.  I wouldn't want to rent a gite that smelled of cigarette smoke the same as I wouldn't want one that smelled of lovely, well behaved dogs[:)]

Bless! Leave the miserable ruins alone and go and see some real life you daft apeth!!! And don't start rambling on about how you've lived a thousand years and seen and done it all and more or I'll smack you! Enjoy your trip[:$]

Glad things are going well for you too Panda - keep us posted [:)]

[quote user="Frenchie"]Unfortunately could not, son has a bad back following too much sport I guess, and his dad could not watch him, so .. I'm on mum's duty...[/quote] Poor thing! Hope he's well soon! The concert went well - it started raining the minute they stepped off stage!

It was a really spectacular storm with some rain and a little wind - no damage. Frenchie! You didn't make it to Thouars for the festival tonight?

His children will get the money.  The memorial service was a very sober affair by the way. So much negativeness about this artist here. RIP

This happened to me babe! With Bouygues - I asked for a fixed account (compte bloqué) I bought my phone and went off on my merry way.  Got home and realised the  ***** had not enclosed the instructions for my new phone.  I tried to figure it out alone which resulted in 150 euros while I innocently 'surfed' the internet which I had originally asked not be included in my package deal.  It happens to everyone - it's a rip off and they make mega bucks off daft pigeons like us. I called Bouygues  and cancelled the internet after 150 euros but whizzed by the shop where I had purchased the  phone - I threw it at the shop assistant and demanded that she call her manager to explain why I had ended up with a phone that should have cost me 25 euros but instead of 150. He wasn't around but she admitted it was a rip off and yes I made her cry[:)]

Classieux... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttv5dyvtF4o&feature=channel ...There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah...

Hi Cathy! Bon courage - hope they're all well soon xxx

I couldn't[:(] I made up for it when I left home at 18 and moved to London[:)]

I'd raid my mothers wardrobe and climb out of my bedroom window 'til the age of 16 then we moved house and my bedroom was at the front of the house and the drain-pipe was on the wrong side[:)]  

[quote user="5-element"]She's quite a big girl! She does look good, and full of promises... [/quote] Reminds me of someone I know [;-)]

I was not allowed out later than 9pm right up until I left home at 18 - and you know what an angel I turned out to be[:)]

[quote user="woolybanana"]one is addicted to a certain forum!![:$][;-)][/quote] [:D] Love it!
