Here you go!

Another vote for Balloonslayer's response. But would fully understand if you just walked away.
Thank you Tidy, for the pages of entertainment and thoughts about modern manners.

PedantMarina · 08/08/2013 16:05

Clam raises an excellent point (which - she's right - nobody else in three threads has done).

Tidy, did you get the impression you'd also have to do the clean-up?

soapysam · 08/08/2013 16:07

Hi gluezillasis,

I've just had the best idea ever! Why don't YOU decorate the venue? That way gz can stop being upset, you get to be the knight in shining armour and you may even get a mention in the speeches. Problem solved!

You're welcome,
Tidy

But blatherskite she's already said no and no again: if they are holding out for help and choose to blame her, they're fecking idiots! There really is no more explanation necessary than she's given.

THough of course I hope there is another round of emails

nauticant · 08/08/2013 17:43

This thread jumped the shark quite some time ago.

It's now looking rather odd and it might be best to allow it to go gentle into that good night.

laeiou · 08/08/2013 17:51

Nauticant

Are you on glue?

SarahAndFuck · 08/08/2013 18:02

I'm still thinking it's best not to reply OP.

You could go on forever with replies that say "I'm not going to change my mind, all the best" and receiving "sorry you feel that way, if you change your mind..." in return before sending "I'm not going to change my mind, all the best" right back at them again ad nauseam. Vicious circle of crazy, nothing good shall come of it.

I also agree with GeorgeDawes, Gluezilla is good for one more appeal to you regardless of you replying to the sister or not now. I don't think she will be able to help herself.

When is the wedding again? Must be very soon now?

RenterNomad · 08/08/2013 18:31

What does "jump the shark" actually mean?

MrsKoala · 08/08/2013 18:47

Jump the shark means something that's gone too far that it's not funny/good anymore and just ridiculous and a bit embarrassing. It's based on an episode of Happy Days where Fonzy is waterskiing (in leather jacket iirc) and a shark pops up and he does a cool jump to avoid it/being eaten. It's a 'meeeja' phrase which is now applied to everything.

RenterNomad · 08/08/2013 19:23

Thanks, MrsKoala. Smile

claudedebussy · 08/08/2013 19:25

agree nauticant.

but this thread has been so good for so long it's hard to let it go gently.

we want more unreasonable gluezillaness.

claudedebussy · 08/08/2013 19:26

so that we can be suitably outraged.

SauvignonBlanche · 08/08/2013 19:39

I think you should maintain a dignified silence.

CabbageLooking · 08/08/2013 19:42

Tidy I have dedicated more of my time to this thread than I have to my child over the last couple of weeks. For the sake of us all I think you should reply with something ambiguous that could be interpreted as you reconsidering your position OR possibly just make something up to keep us entertained. I really don't mind. This thread should never die.

Peanate · 08/08/2013 19:48

Can someone brave Confetti and post the problem from Gluezilla's perspective?

Would love to see the responses from her angle...

HorryIsUpduffed · 08/08/2013 19:50

Pea that's got me grinning from ear to ear.

MrsKoala · 08/08/2013 19:50

OH YES! how would you word it Peanate?

FruOla · 08/08/2013 19:50

You suggested ..... you do it Peanate Grin

MrsKoala · 08/08/2013 19:51

Has anyone checked, it may already be genuinely on there?

WafflyVersatile · 08/08/2013 20:36

Thank you for understanding.

I hope you find someone to help and have a lovely day.

Best wishes.

TidyDancer · 08/08/2013 20:55

Hello all.

As yet I am still undecided on whether to reply.

Am now throwing it open to the masses!

To reply or not to reply....?

Picturesinthefirelight · 08/08/2013 21:00

I wouldn't reply. You have conducted yourself with dignity - it doesn't deserve any more if your time let them get on with it!

BiscuitDunker · 08/08/2013 21:00

REPLY!! Pleeeeease!! Grin

SauvignonBlanche · 08/08/2013 21:02

I've said my piece already.

bookforgoddaughter · 08/08/2013 21:02

Pea, that is an excellent idea. You should do it as it was your idea, but if you don't want to, I will.
