A police woman just touched me on the shoulder

[GabbyLoggon]

And said "Are you ok?" It could have been a heartstopping moment but it was comfortable

No handcuffs were produced; no warrant.

I write about the police under my own name; so it seems reasonable to on nodding terms with them.

I have talked to people who think that is unreasonable. (and maybe a bit dangerous)

But I take the view that the ordinary officer has no real say in the big decisions. so, what the hell

This is what happens when you read Lace by Shirley Conran at the age of 13. One of the characters puts her finger up her boyfriends hoo haa and wriggles it round and find his prostate and has cataclysmic effects.

I have always wanted to try that but think trying sexual exploits based on 80s shoulder padded novels is a trifle odd.

I am really laughing at this.

SORRY for sullying your perfectly innocent (albeit MAD) thread Gabby with anal finger chat.

Fucking gross.

Lace, is that the one with the goldfish?

And don't go picking your teeth...

Yes - goldfish, harems, fur coats, porn films.

ideal reading for a young impressioable teen.

I will forever see a heavily shoulder padded fur coat and a "wrong" finger when you post now, Getorf.

When you say you wrote I book, I am imaging the kind of "book" my 3 yr old DD might write: furiously scribbled on sheets of A4, prittsticked together and shoved under the nose of any unsuspecting visitors with an order of "read my book!".

Glad the police officer enjoyed your book "Gabby"

"Toddlerama"

I loved Lace although various parts had to be explained to me by older girls at my school

So, Gabby, are you actually published? And have you heard of proofreading?

Really really hope you write better than that normally!
My dd tells stories a bit like you.... sucks any funniness out - bless her.
She's only 12 though and, well, not a writer.

Cheers "QOD"

Actually the new emoticon goes quite well with my name too

"Minnie"

"withdraw the slander chil1234 or have the courage to put your name and address on screen

"Gabby"

Yes well you can dream on for the name and address. BTW if it's written down it's 'libel' and not 'slander' (and being a monitor of the police force you probably ought to know that) And it's not libel to suggest that you may be an oddball old fella in flat cap or to doubt the veracity of your original story. Message boards are full of it.

I am in the office shaking and snorting as I try and smother my laughter.

I blame you "breconbebuggerd", you "spikeycow" and you "GetOrf"

Oh yeah GetOrf, do you mean like this?

Cheers, "Gabby".

Love "kenobi"

What sort of person demands a poster to give their name and address on a public forum?

i have a feeling that gabby's world has different rules to ours thingumy.

I'm a tad confused was thinking about just writing nonsense to fit in.

Why does the OP refer to herself as a third person...in inverted commas, as if allegedly that's her screen name.

Gabby, do you keep your DVDs on bookshelves by any chance?

And why does he always post in aibu?

Oh is it a he?

HA! I wrote that as if "ahh all makes sense now". Oh how I amuse myself.

He posts here because he thinks he's a wit, literary talent and social commentator and AIBU means he gets a bigger audience to impress. The topics almost never fit the AIBU format and are nearly always garbled and badly written. But, for calling him out, he'll now come along and say I'm a 'Tory activist'... :)

He's the quirky MN equivalent of people that shout at post-boxes. Vive la difference etc.

Christ have just switched on radio 4.
They were talking about MumsNet, and a woman called "Gabby" came on talking about it.

Was that you "Gabby"?

He doesn't always post in AIBU Thingumy - he often pops up in Adult Fiction to discuss the cricket results

What an oddball.

I just switched Radio 4 on-I missed it! How annoying!
