Another personal attack from you. Don't complain when you get attacked back.

My response to Schamansky was in defence because of his posts to me. Try reading it again.

I have read it. I saw a bad attempt at a poem, yet no personal attacks on you until you called him a low life/chav/thug.

I would be embarrased to carry their (Aldi/Lidl/Netto) carrier bags

Explain why would you be embarrassed to be seen with their carrier bags?

I think the above comment really shows your true colours.

MrsE wrote: »

No worries about the 4x4 being seen, its an underground car park;)

How is the type of car drive relevant? It isn't. The fact that you mentioned the car type can only be seen as either trolling or boasting. Which one is it?

But Schamansky & MyUserNamesTaken seem to be on some sort of mission/witch hunt to make me look like a bigot

You are the one calling people racist and sexist.

MrsE wrote:

Be delighted if either of them could actually quote these rude comments I made (apart from retaliations to their attacks).

It's not retaliation when you attack first.


(The colours in your quotes were put there by you.)

Plenty of misquotes there

Reg the carrier bags

I SAID I would be ashamed to use ANY carrier bags now, as I use hessian bags.

The snobbishness comment, I believe, comes from an adversity to paying for cheaper, unknown stuff, as opposed to brand names.

It's a common phenomenon from holidays to food to clothes.

I have changed from buying value stuff, years ago when DD was young & we had to watch every penny, to middle of the range stuff as you get a little more comfortable, to taste the difference, finest, extra special, M&S & Waitrose.

We don't smoke, we drink once in a blue moon, we don't go out hardly ever (we like being at home & we work very hard, so our free time is for doing things at home). We don't gamble.

The car bit was a joke, because of my being "warned about being seen in Aldi/Lidl/Netto car park".

No misquotes at all. They are all your words.

How does this fit in with your 4x4 driving? It can't be due to ecological issues, otherwise you'd drive a Prius, or use a more ecologically friendly way to get around. I guess you wouldn't be seen dead on a bus, either.

Not different at all.

The first bit is not relevant, as we're talking about the present.

4k a year on a holiday. Going on about how you like to eat "bloody well". You don't think that's boasting? You didn't stop to think that a lot of people using MSE can't afford to do any of the above. The big grin smiley at the end really tops it off.


This Radiohead song really sums you up:

Fitter Happier Fitter, happier, more productive,
comfortable,
not drinking too much,
regular exercise at the gym
(3 days a week),
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries,
at ease,
eating well
(no more microwave dinners and saturated fats),
a patient better driver,
a safer car
(baby smiling in back seat),
sleeping well
(no bad dreams),
no paranoia,
careful to all animals
(never washing spiders down the plughole),
keep in contact with old friends
(enjoy a drink now and then),
will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall),
favors for favors,
fond but not in love,
charity standing orders,
on Sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants),
car wash
(also on Sundays),
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
nothing so childish - at a better pace,
slower and more calculated,
no chance of escape,
now self-employed,
concerned (but powerless),
an empowered and informed member of society
(pragmatism not idealism),
will not cry in public,
less chance of illness,
tires that grip in the wet
(shot of baby strapped in back seat),
a good memory,
still cries at a good film,
still kisses with saliva,
no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick,
that's driven into frozen winter !!!!
(the ability to laugh at weakness),
calm,
fitter,
healthier and more productive
a pig in a cage on antibiotics.

Wasn't the smiley at the end meant to be the wee flippant one that most people use for tongue in cheek? Otherwise I might think that you are referring to me as a rude chav / thug / low-life.

Actually, I'm a qualified Chartered Surveyor - 10yrs PQE, an undergrad degree, two Masters degrees, a professional diploma, membership of 2 professional bodies and very polite with it Hardly a low-life, a thug or a chav. And my Mum couldn't be more proud!
