AIBU to be annoyed when I make a really good point on a thread

and then it's ignored, and either I have to repeat it, or then someone else comes and makes exactly the same point and everyone goes "oh yes, that's quite clever" "what a good and inciteful point" and so on. Maybe I should just type in caps?
So, AIBU?

Let us hurry, I fear that if we are not wed soon the regiment may well up sticks and we shall languish spinsters for ever. And you will have an unexplained offspring about your fair personage.

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 14:44

I am simply giddy with excitement! though saddened that it would appear no guests will be joining us.

Where have they all buggered off too?

Hullygully · 07/01/2010 14:47

(Let's chase them round the other halls..)

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 14:51

Yes let's!

Hullygully · 07/01/2010 14:54

Although I've only seen Tether and she sent excuses and flowers..

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 14:58

Ah yes I remember you saying now. I have not seen anyone of late...tis just us diehards

Hullygully · 07/01/2010 15:02

Well we shall have all the grooms to ourselves, they shall be positively coming out of our ears (but not before vows have been exchanged).

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 15:10

Oh that made me laugh!

Hullygully · 07/01/2010 15:18

You know, Gibbon dear, what say we abandon the regiment altogether? These marriages are so rearely happy, there will be untold drudgery and unreasonable and unpleasant physical requests. What say we jump out of the window into the barouche and head off for the Caribbean? I understand there are sugar plantations and willing slaves, their shoulders rippling, their skins glistening in the sun, eager to do one's bidding...

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 15:22

Lead the way darling Hully!

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 15:33

Aha! Demoiselles! I return from a festive holiday in gay Paree, where I 'ad much amusement at the annual obese child Xmas weigh-in! How we pelted those leetle peegies wiz rotten 'amburgers!

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 15:37

lmfao @ annual obese child Xmas weigh-in

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 15:38

hope you made many an origami swan mid pelt

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 15:42

Ah oui, mademoiselle Gibbon, and my dear maman kept Madame la Guillotine very 'appy wiz zee feckless mamas of said peegies...

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 15:44

eh voila! zum origami guillotines! zey are so adorable, n'est-ce pas?

Where are all zee handsome men?

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 15:50

Hully and I have decided to grab life and set off on an adventure to sunnier climes (and willing and eager young men)

You will be pleased to hear you may have them all!

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 15:53

ugh, non merci, I 'ave no use your your sloppy seconds....

Perhaps you lovely ladies would like to accompany me to my luxurious villa in the South of France where my beautiful garden, ahem, is tended by bronzed young men wearing very leetle?

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 16:09

Anywhere hot with willing young men sounds divine to me. My stay in this hall has stripped me of all morals and I am eager to sate my decadent desires.

Hullygully · 07/01/2010 16:17

Oh la! Am always partial to a bit of lightly-clad bronze. How different to our own sorry pale and blue specimens, I am with you!

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 16:22

not a jot...lose her at the airport perhaps?

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 16:36

you can't exactly stay at my villa if you lose me at the airport, now can you?

Hullygully · 07/01/2010 16:37

< whispers back: The airport, Gibbon dear? Pray, what is that? I fear I espy an anachronism. Perchance you meant the port?>

Pray tell Mimi, how shall we cross la manche? And find safe passage through the revolting hordes?

MadameDefarge · 07/01/2010 16:40

I 'ave commandeered an 'ot air balloon belonging to zee amazing flying bruzzers!

come fly with me!

GibbonInARibbon · 07/01/2010 16:42

I fear tis my madness creeping in again

Yes the port of course. We must make haste!

Hullygully · 07/01/2010 16:44

A balloon, Mimi? Are you quite sure? Is it some sort of foreign contrivance?

Gibbon, do put the plant down. It cannot return your feelings.
