I even picked my feet in public today
:smug:
The reverse capitalisation is just a bit of iIndoctrination for me now. Apple products auto-correct you when you type such product names without using the reverse capitalisation, and I have continued to do it (as now) when not using an Apple product :dry:
It's a good iGimmick that Apple have come up with to advertise their products. I have to iAdmire them for that.
I have an iPhone and an iPad, and the boy has an iPod. I tend not to say or write iPhone as I am still in the old ways and just say "phone". I have even had people correct me and say, "no, you have an iPhone" :eeek:
But iPad... I say "iPad" not tablet, as a tablet is something else (something you take when you're ill). And also iPad is easier to type than tablet as it has less letters.
And iPod. Well, that's just an iPod. That's its name. I wouldn't know what else to call it.
I think in some respects it depends on the nature of what is being said/done online as to how much I would consider it bullying.
I would certainly say that sending offensive or threatening material to someone via the internet, that could easily be acted upon irl -- "I know where you live and I'm going to kill you", sort of thing is certainly harassment by anyone's standards and if persistent I would consider bullying. Some forms of stalking too, would fit this bill.
But something that's abusive in a location (ie this chatroom) where the offender can be reported easily and communications are anonymous, well no, personally I wouldn't take that seriously and I would never lose sleep over it. Just laugh at the sad fuckers and move on :thumbup:
Where do Widey's moobs fit in this sizing scheme? :dry:
Back from work now. This is my Friday. The bonus of an extra long weekend, until next Wednesday in fact, means that I can raise a little hell on here. You luck lot :grin:
I've been doing this on and off since 2006, but I had a head start as I already knew the names of all of my great grand parents and a couple of my great great grand parents.
Several surprises along the way, the most noteworthy for general readers is that I'm directly descended from William the Conqueror ( who'd have thought it) via John of Gaunt's (duke of Lancaster, son of Edward III) illegitimate daughter
Some other interesting stuff too, regarding personal circumstances of more recent ancestors that is cool but would mean nothing to anyone else
If I was a Z lister with an ego and lifestyle to promote .... Yes. More column inches = more minutes of fame + more wonga
Just on my way to work. Keeping my beady eye on you all while I do so
Would be interesting to see if any previously banned members take up this offer
Reesecup... What is the point of your list?
Also, would you like to let people know which previously banned member you are? Probably best you do it before someone does it for you.....
Well, in the week or two that I've been back here, I've had a few messages, even though I have no ad and it's clear from my profile that I am not here for sex. Or do the CAPITALS need to be clearer?
I've replied to all messages, but usually with just a "no thanks", and to be fair, it's been less than one a day, so hardly a hardship.
However, in the days that I was meeting, it was always my intention to reply to everyone even if it was a no thanks... the premise being that if someone had bothered to send me a message, then I should be polite enough to say no thanks.
But, that polite, even chivalric attitude faultered, wilted, and finally died. The sheer amount of lame "fancy a fuck" one-liners, REALLY don't deserve my precious time. Life is finite. I do not spend my time dusting ornaments, life is too short, so why spend my time replying to shite like that? Almost as bad are the clear copy and paste replies, the idiots who think that sending a copy and paste war and peace length "sexy" story (really inane, please stop), or the ones that CLEARLY did not read my ad AT ALL, no sorry.... I stopped replying.
Anyone who sent a genuine, well written and friendly reply, even if they were not what I was looking for, got a response. All the others, no sorry. The delete button was my friend.
