Lilaura - if I were you I would go to bed, get some sleep and forget most of the things you have read.

Accept that you have started something that got a little out of hand and usually on here you can expect good banter even if someone disagrees with you.

Good god, Pan, I am not like that at all.

Very angry for about a minute, but love you next.

Aitch · 05/08/2007 01:14

oh fgs, how did it come to this? lilaura...

TheQueenOfQuotes · 05/08/2007 01:15

I don't recall writing any sob stories????

I don't think you could be me to it before you were six honey - you were only a wee bairn when I was 6.

And how on earth did you manage to get a full time job at 15......that's not actulaly legal.....and funnily enough one of the things that unions fought against many years before either you or I were born........

TheQueenOfQuotes · 05/08/2007 01:15

who attacked your kids??

Pan · 05/08/2007 01:15

Fine.

Sleep time.

1legmummy · 05/08/2007 01:15

I know thats why I made my comments - I got verbal abuse back for no reason.

You are better than this, accept that everyone has a story and perhaps a reason for this all getting so heated

You dont know these people and they do not know you.

One thing you have done is made people think.

lillaura123 · 05/08/2007 01:17

TheQueenOfQuotes · 05/08/2007 01:18

still don't know who attacked your kids on this thread

Aitch · 05/08/2007 01:19

...made them think 'i wish the teaching unions were stronger', 'i wish social work unions were stronger', 'i wish the nurses' unions were stronger' and 'i am very worried for the future of my child if a person with these sorts of misguided and ill-informed views is voting in general elections'.

lillaura123 · 05/08/2007 01:19

thanks 1leg - at that advise i will now be the bigger, more mature person, and take on all i have seen here , and ignore the crappy stuff xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx so basically i will take what you said and ignore the rest

round of applause for Lillaura, resolutely determined to ignore the bad. until her mail doesn't turn up, then she gets really pissed.

by the way, you never did answer the question about social housing...

lillaura123 · 05/08/2007 01:22

in the morning my dear better things to --- like sleep

TheQueenOfQuotes · 05/08/2007 01:22

don't talk to me about "maturity" - I told you a few basic facts about myself.......there are many people on here who are older than me - and by default have more life experience than either of us two put together. I don't feel the need to give you all the nitty gritty bits, the things I'd rather not share with someone with such ignorant understanding of certain issues.

When you've seen someone beaten black and blue because they'd dared to try stand up and say that their living and working conditions weren't good enough for them (for anyone for htat matter) - then come back to me and tell me how you feel about the right to strike (and don't forget there is no such thing as a strike which ONLY affects the workers and the bosses).

UCM · 05/08/2007 01:24

1legmummy, you are right and I apologise for calling you a cunt. You are not.

DID YOU read the entire thread?

Once again apologies for calling you a cunt1

Aitch · 05/08/2007 01:26

have just looked at your profile lillaura, you look like a beautiful woman. seriously, read the thread and have a think about the issues rather than your issues, iykwim?

you know your profile says you don't have any children, btw?

1legmummy · 05/08/2007 01:30

Thanks UCM it takes one hell of a nice person to apologise - I guess everyone just got a bit heated.

It was such a long thread and not one that I had an opinion on one way or another but a couple of people shocked me in the way they were having a go at her grammer etc.

I guess I just should not have got involved.

xx

UCM · 05/08/2007 01:31

Aitch, it says this on mine as well.

UCM · 05/08/2007 01:32

1legmummy, thanks for replying. Hugs & stuff to you too.

Aitch · 05/08/2007 01:32

weird. someone should tell tech. my profile just disappeared one day.

ladlemonke · 05/08/2007 01:36

...this thread has kept me entertained/amused for most of the evening
....and i only clicked on the topic expecting to see a possibly genuine greivance against RM (despite the ambiguous petition title).

Ah well, they say assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups.

thanks and well done to all those participating - does it always get that lively of a saturday neet?

UCM · 05/08/2007 01:38

Nah, just for us sad bastards who can't go out because we don't have a babysitter or any money.
