series of books, I mean

CarolinahowlingattheMoon · 16/10/2006 18:19

maybe it's like in Malory Towers (the book, not the MNer, obv), where the feisty one is made a prefect to bring out her sensible and mature side

pount = a very pointed type of pout
ooops

ediemay · 16/10/2006 18:04

she gets to the pount, but not aggressively

yes zippi maybe we will be able to communicate just by looking at it each other in a Tomorrow's People stylee

diNOLOOKINGOVERYOURSHOULDERsau · 16/10/2006 15:11

(and lol at "move along ladies, nothing to see")

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 15:01

yes indeed.
manly handshake &c&c.

diNOLOOKINGOVERYOURSHOULDERsau · 16/10/2006 14:55

I'll take it that's a manly handshake, then?

zippitippitoes · 16/10/2006 14:54

the internet forum is a rather imperfect form of communication isn't it...perhaps we will evolve over the next 1000 years to be better at it

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 14:54

aha a bridge-building dig, excellent that all makes sense now. god it's so hard to get the nuances right without facial expressions etc isn't it?
consider the bridge entirely rebuilt ]
mwahmwahmwah ot dino

move along ladies, nothing to see.
(oh and btw dino never said "sanctimonious cow" that was just my paraphrasing....)

diNOLOOKINGOVERYOURSHOULDERsau · 16/10/2006 14:47

Oh harpsi, you have made me feel bad now. I was having a dig at you but in what I thought (hoped) was a sort of humorous, bridge-building kind of way, the sort of thing in which my good friend Blu specialises, but at which I am, obviously, pants .

Anyway, apology accepted and one extended to you too for my klutz-behaviour.

Dang, and then they wonder why my boy has trouble with his social skills! Sheesh...

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 14:46

sorry that makes no sense.
I mean, that the last time I tried to intervene when things were getting difficult, I felt very hurt by the response, rightly or wrongly.
and I was expecting you to have another dig, so probably was nmot in the frame of mind to interpret your gentle mockery as light hearted, but rather as pointed.
sorry I am going on a bit now.

WelshBoris · 16/10/2006 14:46

snap zippi

WelshBoris · 16/10/2006 14:46

Phew

kissed and made up

zippitippitoes · 16/10/2006 14:46

well i used to say to the dds when they were little kiss and cuddle all together now

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 14:44

dino, I really can't apologise enough.
I thought you were having a dig on here at me and at Franny about us being self appointed blablabla and on the other thread. I was feeling sensitive about it because I was pretty hurt by what you said onthe other thread and this one was in response to that thread and my feeling about it (the piling in and so on).
so I was probably being paranoid.
I was Definitely being paranoid.

diNOLOOKINGOVERYOURSHOULDERsau · 16/10/2006 14:40

I was quite pleased to be having what I thought was a bit of a laugh with F&Z and you. I think I may have misinterpreted.

I am prepared to do a manly handshake if you are, especially as I still have that mordant fear of eggy-smelling plates...

WelshBoris · 16/10/2006 14:39

Sorry harpsi the comment just puzzled me thats all

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 14:39

"Franny and harpsi are jumping up and down, gagging to be nominated..."
and you were digging on the other thread too, I thought.
maybe I am wrong about that, in which case I apologise again, unreservedly.

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 14:38

dino, well if you weren't having a dig then I apologise.

diNOLOOKINGOVERYOURSHOULDERsau · 16/10/2006 14:38

So why did you bring it up on this one?
