Twurp’s Peerage ~ Forum Peeps Bio-pics

[WannabeAngua]

Aaaarrrgh!! Just spent ages on mine but when I posted it I had to log in again and then my post was gone! Did I write it too slowly?
*tearing at my hair in frustration*

[Tonyblack]

Oh I know that feeling.

If I'm making long posts like that I tend to highlight it and copy it just in case.

Not that that's any help to you.

[Jan Van Quirm]

Using other forums I've lost count of posts I've had scuppered by timeouts - so much so I tend to do longer posts in Word first.

[Who's Wee Dug]

On an earlier post I just knocked the mouse sort-of brushed a button and the post disappeared when page changed and it was a longer one. using a wireless MS one.

Nice ones Melissa and Nienna!

[Tiffany]

Lovely to see you all & read your Bios. I am nosy too.

[Nienna]

Ta! Oh bugger I forgot tea as a beverage! Only Melissa reminded me now or I would never have given it its dues. Sorry Tea, shame on me...

[Jan Van Quirm]

NP Nienna - just go in and edit at will

Pet Peeves: People who are false ,swearing
Movie: Scarface,

Ooops! I think I swore 4 times in my bio. Sorry.

Hang about......Scarface? That's full of swearing, isn't it?

[cols]

Hang about......Scarface? That's full of swearing, isn't it?

Yes it is and for some reason it's okay for Al .And of course movies are an exception

Am not a total fuddy duddy I'm guilty of it myself. I just think people can use swear words a little too readily especially in public places with children around.

[Jan Van Quirm]

I know what you mean Cols - used indiscriminately swearing just makes people seem obnoxious and not terribly intelligent and/or unimaginative. Used as verbal punctuation and in context I've no problem with it - 'Oh dear me' or 'Ouch that hurt' doesn't really cut the mustard when you whang your thumb with a hammer does it?

In front of the children? Not a good idea as it just teaches them bad linguistic habits, although these days you're almost as likely to pick those up the other way...

[chris.ph]

try working with about 15 builders in a working hospital thats half my job telling them not to swear and the other half trying not to swear myself and ive got a massive vocabluary. i just pretend my mother around and i dont swear then
