Enid is a schoolmarm with pince-nez

yes I'd be fab

and a black crochet shrug around her shoulders

I will do it if I have the option of shutting the whole of mumsnet down temporarily if it gets on my nerves

I want a red button on my keyboard that does it

What about that weirdo bloke on that relationships thread? PeterNorthFacial or something. His comments were bizarre to say the least. He could threaten everyone involved in a thread that gets out of hand.

that's the red cross in the top rh corner endi

No, harpsi, if you want a barney about it, I'll happily say it again to you.

You choose.

Did Dino call you that harpsi?

where? why?

No, it was on that very ugly thread about pulling faces.

for heaven's sake dino there is really no need to be so hurtful and childish. I told you before I have no need or wish to fight with you, but if you really have such a problem with me that you can't resist having a nasty little dig at every opportunity then I suggest that you mail me and we can try and sort it out without treating the rest of the board to such an unedifying spectacle.

harpsi, you raised it, not me.

I thought that this thread and the other one were just light-hearted banter.

WB I would really rather not go into it again. I don't like dragging arguments and from thread to thread.

So why did you bring it up on this one?

dino, well if you weren't having a dig then I apologise.

"Franny and harpsi are jumping up and down, gagging to be nominated..."
and you were digging on the other thread too, I thought.
maybe I am wrong about that, in which case I apologise again, unreservedly.

Sorry harpsi the comment just puzzled me thats all

I was quite pleased to be having what I thought was a bit of a laugh with F&Z and you. I think I may have misinterpreted.

I am prepared to do a manly handshake if you are, especially as I still have that mordant fear of eggy-smelling plates...

dino, I really can't apologise enough.
I thought you were having a dig on here at me and at Franny about us being self appointed blablabla and on the other thread. I was feeling sensitive about it because I was pretty hurt by what you said onthe other thread and this one was in response to that thread and my feeling about it (the piling in and so on).
so I was probably being paranoid.
I was Definitely being paranoid.

well i used to say to the dds when they were little kiss and cuddle all together now

Phew

kissed and made up

snap zippi

sorry that makes no sense.
I mean, that the last time I tried to intervene when things were getting difficult, I felt very hurt by the response, rightly or wrongly.
and I was expecting you to have another dig, so probably was nmot in the frame of mind to interpret your gentle mockery as light hearted, but rather as pointed.
sorry I am going on a bit now.

Oh harpsi, you have made me feel bad now. I was having a dig at you but in what I thought (hoped) was a sort of humorous, bridge-building kind of way, the sort of thing in which my good friend Blu specialises, but at which I am, obviously, pants .

Anyway, apology accepted and one extended to you too for my klutz-behaviour.

Dang, and then they wonder why my boy has trouble with his social skills! Sheesh...

aha a bridge-building dig, excellent that all makes sense now. god it's so hard to get the nuances right without facial expressions etc isn't it?
consider the bridge entirely rebuilt ]
mwahmwahmwah ot dino

move along ladies, nothing to see.
(oh and btw dino never said "sanctimonious cow" that was just my paraphrasing....)

the internet forum is a rather imperfect form of communication isn't it...perhaps we will evolve over the next 1000 years to be better at it
