Probably my own fault for over reacting but leaving because of some really offensive posters.

Just like to say good bye to my favourite posters and the ones who have been so lovely to me.

Sole source, sp, af, usual, worra, rubyfakenails, bridezilla, and many many many more. Even Scottish mummy who made me laugh all the time. Shcro your lovely to.

No I don't want to.

I think my new policy will basically be not to. My words of pithy wisdom will fit most circs I'm sure.

Let's try:

Bend like the bamboo.

Very few that wopn't fit.

I haven't read the thread but sometimes a breaks good.
I think mn reflects my own mood back at me.
It has been filled with miserable snarky fuckers of late.

It's a good time-saving plan.

I may adopt a catch-all myself. I will go with 'ah well, it'll all be the same a hundred years from now. And you'll be dead'. That'll go down well in AIBU, I betcha.

Bend like the bamboo?
You know that stuff is invasive and spreads like wildfire and is impossible to eradicate? You can cut it down and it returns with added vavoom.

This is now the third longest flounce in the last two years. Huzzah!

If you over-use your pithy phrase, you might be accused of taking the pith, Hully.

My dad used to say two things:

You're a long time dead

and

There are no pockets in a shroud.

Pretty much cover all situations

Flouncer's corner should have a one post limit.

Most people seem to flounce in less than 20.

You could make your own shroud, with pockets.
My DS plans to be buried in his favourite coat, and to be entombed like a Pharaoh with as many of his possessions as possible.

My dad used to say 'if you fall and hurt yourself I'll kill you' and 'that's the way the drums...' and 'Jesus fucking Christ'

That covers most things

My Dad said 'Gordon Bennett!!' a lot. That covers quite a lot of situations.

The tv is on in the background - it is all kicking off in Eastenders, apparently. And only going to get worse, if the trailer is to be believed.

Can anyone explain what is with Kat and whatsisface, and why it is all going up in flames, and who the older bloke with the black eye is - and basically, what has happened over the last 15 years, which I appear to have missed? Please and thanks!

Sall right, made me larf.

His funeral was marvellous, some poor bastard effusing about his life up till he was 30 and then glossing over the rather depressing rest of it...

Harold Bishop was blown off a cliff SDTG. Naught but his glasses remained. Then he came back, but Madge had married Lou.
HTH.

Oh dear. I've never understood the point of posting a flouncing thread and making it clear that it is due to one specific thread that has upset. It just draws that thread to the attention of a load more people.

Have a break op. come back in a few days name change and it will all be forgotten.

Did you think he'd just had an epiphany and decided it no longer applied, Sue? Whoops.
