New thread ...

OOh I might post - it doesn;t wind me up so much (famous last words)

WigWamBam · 04/08/2006 18:04

It winds me up ... whenever I've posted on them before (long, long ago ... I've learned my lesson ) I end up being accused of being humourless and needing to lighten up.

OP posts:
JackieNo · 04/08/2006 18:06

Mmm - been holding myself back from posting there too.

suejonez · 04/08/2006 18:07

I don't plan to be indignant - just present. poepl often find it more difficult to poke fun if you're there rather than sniggering behind your back.

WigWamBam · 04/08/2006 18:12

I've posted on them before now ... I usually end up being told I'm up my own arse or something! I've given up, it just makes me look humourless and po-faced.

I wonder if anyone will come back now that you've posted, Sue ...

yes I am watching to see if it kills the thread. will make it my mission to politely but persistently kill every anti-fat thread. Will give me someting to do whilst I'm waiting.

MrsJohnCusack · 04/08/2006 18:15

yes me I'm coming on the 18th. times are fine too
will prob have DD with me, hopefully she'll sleep on the way home - some hope!
congrats on the driving test Littlefish!

suejonez · 04/08/2006 18:19

are you sure you're ok to drive all the way there and back? Happy to split the driving if you want to.

JackieNo · 04/08/2006 19:13

Looks like you killed that thread, suejonez!

MrsJohnCusack · 04/08/2006 19:21

yes sue totally not a problem
is only about an hour's drive (suggest we do park and ride because when I went before it took me another 30 minutes of mucking about to get into the centre and park....)

Littlefish · 04/08/2006 19:26

Thanks for the congrats MrsJC, but it was Alittlebitshy who passed her driving test. I've been driving for 20 years (God I sound old!)

MrsJohnCusack · 04/08/2006 19:27

lots of people are rude about fat people, e.g. wearing shorts, because they have a mortal fear of being fat themselves and become unaturally obsessed with fat people and what they wear/do

I also find that people who don't wear certain things because they worry what they look like get unreasonably annoyed when others don't care and wear what they like...again, it's their own insecurities coming out. It's not nice I know (and I am highly guilty of not wearing lots of things because I am so self-conscious) but ask yourselves, why are some people so bothered what others wear? I'd say that most of the time that reveals a lot more about those people's own particular hang ups.

i.e. wear what you like girls, especially in the hot weather. (and I will try to practise what I preach )

Littlefish · 04/08/2006 19:27

Can I suggest that those who are coming on 18th e-mail their mobile numbers to WWB. Perhaps she could then send out an e-mail to each of us with a list of all the mobile numbers.

Sorry to make extra work WWB, but you are the only one who has everyone's e-mail addresses.

What do you think?

MrsJohnCusack · 04/08/2006 19:28

oh for goodness sake
And I knew that as well, why did I type your name?????? Sorry!

congrats Alittlebitshy!

WigWamBam · 04/08/2006 19:35

I can do that, littlefish. Still not sure at the moment if dd and I can make it but am hopeful.

I have noticed as well, MrsJC, that it's always the same person who starts these threads ... I think you may have a point.

WigWamBam · 04/08/2006 19:37

Oh - I almost forgot ...

We have a late contender for last week's crown - coppertop has been sending me emails that I didn't get, I've finally managed to get it and she lost

3lb

JackieNo · 04/08/2006 19:51

Ooh - well done Coppertop! It would be great if you could come too, WigWamBam. I'll send you my mobile number.

hub2dee · 04/08/2006 19:51

Nice one, duracell.

MrsJohnCusack · 04/08/2006 19:55

coppertop!

well done

alittlebitshy · 04/08/2006 20:03

I so wish we could come, but not only do i think that it'll take ages on the tube, oxford tube etc, but i have realised that i booked dd and i dentist appointments for that afternoon. D'oh!

look forward to hearing about it!!!

Littlefish · 04/08/2006 20:09

Hub - can you and dw make it?

hub2dee · 04/08/2006 20:52

Sorry, we won't be around then, fishy.

suejonez · 04/08/2006 21:01

Jackie - nope that thread's still not dead - but will keep trying... [determined look emoticon]

JackieNo · 04/08/2006 22:06

No - it sprang back into life - you're doing good work there.

WigWamBam · 04/08/2006 22:12

It's definitely refusing to play dead, isn't it
