...to feel a bit sorry for people who get worked up about inconsequential stuff that makes no difference to them?

[SpeedyGonzalez]

There is so much of this on MN. And in RL. Do you think some people just need a hobby?

Ahh...clearly just me then!

Can i get worked up by your typos then Reality??

I agree with you, my brother is just like that.

He'll get right arsey about things that have fuck all to do with him and I wonder where he gets the energy to be bothered from tbh.

He's a petty minded idiot

sometimes what hurts you might seem unimportant to others but it still hurts, so it matters

YANBU - There ARE some posts where people do seem genuinely worked up, and others where it seems more affected. Its quite exhausting to see so much of it, and a tad dull.

?

What kind of hobby would you recommend Reality?

Telling, very telling.

No, it isn't just you. Although I suspect that when message boards and RL combine, all common sense and perspective is lost. Only I've just heard about a friend (a regular poster on a footy forum) who was, last week, visited at home by someone he'd been having a fairly inconsequential disagreement with on the forum. The visit was not a conciliatory one either!

My hobby is embroidery....
And sewing Church kneelers....

Thankyou.

But i like hash much more..

Gloria - hahahahaha! How ridiculous!

Hi 2Shoes! Howya doing? I'm not talking about hurtful stuff, btw. It's silly nonsense, such as: "I can't believe that someone would ACTUALLY walk into Primark with a pair of Crocs on! What is the world coming to!" - that's the kind of thing I'm referring to.

Reality - ho ho. Was expecting that kind of comment, and oh, it would be you, wouldn't it? Bleedin' pregnancy hormones driving you to distraction, are they? Well, I've never hit a pregnant woman before but there's always time for a first - PUT 'EM UP! GOOOOOOON!!!

Oh, and congrats on being knocked up, girly, that's totally splendid

AgentZigZag, your bro sounds like my Dream Man.

WHY ARN'T YOU COMING TOMORROW OP
there is a meet up

Are you a very bad person Speedy? Cos I'd only wish that prick on my worst enemy

2shoes, I had something on which was then cancelled. However, I've been ill all week and am only just on the mend. So we're having family time + rest time tomorrow.

However I hope you have a fab time without me and I'll do my best to find out about the next one well in advance - I always seem to miss them, but SirBoob does a great job of keeping me informed.

Mwa ha ha ha harrrr! Is your brother into malevolent bald men who stroke cats, perchance? If so, he's mine!

aww hope you will be able to come next time,

Thank you!
