I've noticed, that you appear to check a new posters occasionally, to see if they have posted before.

You are chief troll-spotter, yes?

fick · 28/08/2007 23:42

He looks like Tom Cruise's lesser looking brother in that picture!

NadineBaggott · 28/08/2007 23:42

May I say Nadine, that you are looking particularly well airbrushed this evening?

handlemecarefully · 28/08/2007 23:49

"Custardo, I think I love you. You have highlighted just what is wrong with this place in one fail swoop"

Eh? , not Mumsnet's finest hour...

On the subject - in so far as it is possible to like someone you have never met, I do warm to Owen Wilson and really hope he comes through all of this.

fick · 28/08/2007 23:52

You are absolutely right of course Handleme, but perhaps not in the way you were thinking.

I think Owen Wilson seems like a jolly nice chap. It is a shame, and terribly sad for him to have got into this state.

However, a bit of light-heartedness is just fine here and there, I feel.

newlifenewname · 28/08/2007 23:54

Fick, tell me something that has upset you deeply especially if it was recent and I'll make a lighthearted joke about it, yes?

DrippingLizzie · 28/08/2007 23:54

Fick, re: Nadine Baggott's airbrushing, I am pretty damn sure the advert in question was shot with a pair of tights over the camera lens...

handlemecarefully · 28/08/2007 23:55

So fick - out of interest, what lured you out of your usual modus operandi of lurking to start posting so prolifically?

fick · 29/08/2007 00:02

Why would you do that NLNN? That's just spiteful.

As it happens, I was somewhat devastated when my one and only pair of Jimmy Choos bit the dust recently. I was inconsolable, for at least a day.

Handleme - because I am fick. A handful of threads is hardly prolific. Why do you care?

fick · 29/08/2007 00:03

Dripping...I have visions of NadineBaggot wandering around during the day with a pair of tights over her head to maintain the image

newlifenewname · 29/08/2007 00:05

Exactly, so it is hardly your place to judge whether suicide is to be joked about is it?

Or were you just being obtuse?

handlemecarefully · 29/08/2007 00:05

Just interested (mildly)

FlameBatfink · 29/08/2007 00:07

(Not getting into the squabbles but he does look freakily similar to Tom Cruise in that pic )

handlemecarefully · 29/08/2007 00:07

Ummm 56 messages over 2 days. Some of them quite aggressive. (yes I know I lay myself open to accusations of being sad for checking - but I like to know who to avoid....

fick · 29/08/2007 00:10

NLNN - i think it is clear I was being obtuse.

I'm not entirely sure what your beef is, and you can just ignore me you know, rather than pay heed to some sprite off of the internet.

Sometimes, when bad things happen in your life, it is easier be flippant than deep and meaningful. Either way, I'm wounded, or ignorant - maybe you should just pity me and move on, than waste energy getting angry about something that is a thousand miles away from where you are right now.

fick · 29/08/2007 00:11

Aggressive? Really? Please show me, since I dont intend to ever be aggressive.

newlifenewname · 29/08/2007 00:13

I don't find that.

Why the hell would I be here if I didn't want my thinking challenged? I don't get angry about stuff like this and if I did I wouldn't want to switch off so your advice is a little wasted on me, I don't mind stepping outside of my comfort zone - to use a phrase of the naffest order.

fick · 29/08/2007 00:15

Well then I fail to see your point, and line of questionning?

Unless you are just trying to bait me? I'll not bite you know

fick · 29/08/2007 00:17

Your phrase isnt naff, in America or a city boardroom at least

newlifenewname · 29/08/2007 00:19

yes you do don't you...ho hum

handlemecarefully · 29/08/2007 00:19

No I won't get into that fick. It was the impression I got, but have (belatedly!)decided I am not comfortable dissecting your posting style (or that of anyone else) 'publicly' like this - (although fwiw my perception still stands)

Probably should not have posted the 00:07 message

(Christ is that the time???)

NadineBaggott · 29/08/2007 00:29

please don't talk about me when I'm not here
