Grrrr that's it really!

Does the lives of some members revolve around MN or something? Some of us have lives and other things to do other than sit on a PC all day in case we're spoken to on an Internet forum!

ABU. maybe the answer was Important. was it 42?

burningupinspeed · 09/06/2009 19:22

calm down, dear.

TBM · 09/06/2009 19:23

Oh and it was days later, not straight away.

YANBU, but i suppose people don;t like to feel they are being ignored

often posters will say ' going to do school run/ go shopping/drink gin until i pass out, so won't reply until later/tomorrow/ when my hanogver has worn off'

manners cuts both ways i think

hope your house move went well

I didn't post a question, someone else did and I didn't know I was going to move house before I got back on.

what was your thread about? can you link so we can judge help

IDidntRaiseAThief · 09/06/2009 19:24

i have no idea what the question was, maybe someone thought is was important and wondered why/where you were?

burningupinspeed · 09/06/2009 19:24

Actually we need a link to decide if YABU.

Oops post

MIAonline · 09/06/2009 19:26

Erm, not sure if YABU or not,

It depends on the thread and question. But it is definitely not worth you getting angry about.

Perhaps it would be simpler to reply now and just say you haven't had access to the net. Problem solved.

LilianGish · 09/06/2009 19:26

Totally unreasonable to expect to have a real life

TBM · 09/06/2009 19:27

I moved house!

I wasn't given advice, it wasn't an advice thread I think I was supposed to have answered some point made to the general. It wasn't even the poster that said it.

I'm not angry really, just shocked at coming back to find out I should've been here.

link if you;re gonna complain

Unicornvomit · 09/06/2009 19:28

it;s nice to be missed though

burningupinspeed · 09/06/2009 19:28

Clearly your priorities are all wrong, why were you not at an internet cafe at least once a day?

Sycamoretreeisvile · 09/06/2009 19:28

Linkage required before thread can progress. All in favour say Aye!

TBM · 09/06/2009 19:29

It's not a topic I want to go back over, I was glad to have a reason to not be on it. It wasn't a personal thread and not one that needs resurrecting.

OP posts:
burningupinspeed · 09/06/2009 19:29

link link link link link
As you can see, I have a life

burningupinspeed · 09/06/2009 19:29

Oh ok

OrmIrian · 09/06/2009 19:29

" I didn't know I was going to move house before I got back on."

Wow! I wish I could move so quickly A house move never sneaks up on me.

Sycamoretreeisvile · 09/06/2009 19:29

A phooey, you're no fun OP.

pointydog · 09/06/2009 19:30

well stop moaning about it if you don't want to bring it all up again

morningpaper · 09/06/2009 19:30

Aye

How cna you NOT KNOW you are going to move house btw?

If that is the sort of thing that HAPPENS in ten minutes or so, I need to stock up on valium
