Well it's christmas We're NOT all dead ... no one is dropping bombs on us ... some of us have decided not to visit family and friends to 'support the effort' ... some of us are committed to travel but trying to stay within the 'spirit' of the restrictions whilst doing so (all whether we agree with restrictions or not). It even looks like a deal of sorts may be agreed with the EU (snake eyes stand off over ?) ... it was always in the EU's best interests as much as ours wasn't it. I hope quaysider 's christmas guest has a great time and tips handsomely .... that metanoia succeeds in her charge to beat stoppages and a leaking gasket to reach sanctuary and repair ... and that JohnV drives safely and has a great time finally seeing his sister. I hope we all have a great christmas day ... especially those that are 'single handed'. But the reality is, that it's just one day and in truth (if not a practising christian) not that important ... hopefully we can soon have many days 'getting together' as often as we wish Rog

Notwithstanding your need to vent, which I fully understand and support, clearly I didn't explain myself properly. The aim of all these measures was/is to strike a compromise between protecting the NHS, protecting the economy / jobs, and protecting mental health. I will agree that there is a lot of badwagon-jumping by non-governmental agencies and companies who relish the excuse of Covid to justify their unrelated failings and desires to economise by reducing staffing to a level below which adequate customer service can be supplied. It is the new excuse. Previously it was "Elf and safety", before that it was "insurance" and now it is "coronavirus". Which I find quite annoying!
"Bad- wagon jumping" indeed. Sue the NHS. Brag about what your husband got? We all appreciate what Jeff DID when he worked there - I worked for the NHS in East London for a few years - but then it dawned on me what people like MJG (and them/you - of all people? ) were about. I’ve given your post some more thought and decided that it is quite exceptionally nasty, even for you. For the benefit of others, you have held a long, long grudge against me - well over 5 years - because you interrupted an interesting thread on CWDF to disrupt it, and I accused you of making a virtue out of technical ignorance. Holding long or everlasting grudges seems to be the remit of bitter old women, I’ve known a few exhibit similar behaviours - not that it makes it any more acceptable. In this case you have taken the “personal” information I posted about my 4 years of hell following Jeff’s breakdown due to workplace bullying, being overworked until he nearly died, then disposed of, but subsequent success in winning a substantial award (indicative of the extent to which he was wronged) from the employment tribunal but not without 2 years of fatiguing battling, and weaponised that to use against me, and dragged Jeff into it too, he having given 22 years of his life to help people with haematological and cancer issues, and been damned good at it. That is off the scale of nastiness and I found it really upsetting. But let me be clear, I’m not upset because you criticised me or Jeff, those are just words. I am upset to discover that yes, there really are such nasty bitter old women out there whose only pleasure in life is to try to hurt other people. It’s just so sad and depressing. Id love to wish you a Happy Christmas but it seems pointless. By your own behaviour you have ended up as a lonely and bitter figure with only one entity that can tolerate living with you - your cat. But perhaps you will be able to get beyond the pervasive smell of cat pee and staring at the walls, and find some joy tomorrow, god knows you need some joy in your life to counteract the sad bitterness.

That's beyond unpleasant even by your standards Telemachus ... and particularly in response to a post you confess you don't understand, and is infinitely more likely to have been a 'jokey dig' than really nasty. As you are fond of saying ... "get over yourself". Just expressing my opinion ... I don't expect you to agree. Rog ETA George is definitely not a cat ... and I rather think you and Jeff are strong and united enough in your relationship that words can never hurt you.

Rog ETA George is definitely not a cat ... and I rather think you and Jeff are strong and united enough in your relationship that words can never hurt you. I do understand it now, I took my time to be sure I understood it. But it is clear to see whose side you are on, so be it. If George really is a person, I feel very sorry for him. I bet he wishes he were a cat. And according to you, it is always possible that my post was a “jokey dig”. But probably not.

"Whose side you are on" ? Really ? I thought your post was intentionally hurtful and unpleasant, in response to a confusing clumsy post, which I consider (taking into account the life and history of thunderboat posts, of which you are a very active participant) to have been a jokey dig in the ribs. You do know I DON'T steal boats and Mr Stabby DOESN'T murder prostitutes ? I've very briefly met you both and know you to be jolly good people ... I don't take sides as I'm not a 12 year old. Rog

Rog My post was just honest. No doubt it may come across as hurtful and unpleasant, that is a consequence of the bitter old bag’s behaviour. You sow what you reap. As to taking sides, you have passed off her nastiness as a “jokey dig” whilst taking exception to my response. That is taking sides - and of course you are fully entitled to do so. I guess without being aware of the 5+ years of occasional random unprovoked snipes from her, spanning two forums, you don’t get the full picture. The post, taken in isolation, probably has a different “feel” than when seen in context. Anyway, don’t feel sorry for her, she will be absolutely delighted at having finally pushed my button. Upsetting people is the only thing in her life that gives her any pleasure.

Perspective is a funny old thing. I still love you and metanoia ... and I'm speaking on behalf of no one but me so I guess I'm on 'my side' if I have to choose. And just to clarify ... I still don't get met's post, but read it as a jokey dig ... you don't know for sure what was intended either but decided it must be nasty and vindictive. There can be no doubt in anyone's reading that your response was extremely unpleasant , which is why I felt the need to comment. I think we all deserve the benefit of the doubt until we prove we're a twat, don't you ? As for posting history ... if I had a pound for every wife beating, fish murdering, virtue signalling, boating stealing comment I'd be a wealthy man ... but I assume they are meant as jokey digs ... are you suggesting they may not be ? Rog

Rog But it is obvious when someone is, in your case, making a jokey dig about your “habits”, about our boat name, the size of my head, the poof factor etc etc. Those are of course absolutely fine and in fact that is one of the things I like about TB. But it is also obvious when someone has taken a long standing dislike to someone and the intent behind the post is to be nasty. When there has been a long string of nastiness, a new post in the same vein even if superficially ambiguous, is likely to be intended to be, and considered as nasty. So it is with her input to me. And bringing one’s spouse into it is off limits as far as i’m concerned. I suspect if someone had a dig at Jane on here, even if it could be interpreted as jokey, you would not be impressed. Well I would hope so, anyway.

Not when you actually do take other people's boats. In fairness, he was more "Mr Big's hapless goon" than the criminal mastermind in that particular scenario.
