  • You make egg nog with the yolks, NDG............the whites' make meringue.

    I'm surprised your daddy didn't tell you that!:j

    How is he these days? You've only mentioned him about twice a day!:rolleyes:

    Eggnog/eggflip is the worst substance known to humanity. It is sweet, yellow slime and should be given only to those who put on posts that are rude about other posters and then in large quantities as the rest of us eat NDGs wonderful meringues.

    Here's yours PP - enjoy!

    So you are just a casual observer of the thread being pulled?
    As for your last comment you don’t have to be a blood relative and do you know how people deal with loss not many people just instantly break down!
    It works both ways but it will only get pulled if it crosses the lines of decency or legality that’s why it was pulled.
    Well,
    • Nobody has claimed that the post crossed the line of criminal legality
    • Those who claimed that it crossed a line of civil legality have been proven wrong
    • It has not been universally condemned for crossing a line of decency
    • Some of those who thought that it was in bad taste did not think it should have been pulled
    So all we are left with is that the site owners gave in to the squealers.

    I am sure the site owners would rather not have legal cases against them just to keep a few people happy that they can post anything they like.
    I think that the site owners set the threshold far lower - something like appeasing easily offended squealers and keeping them off their backs. I'm not going to give the site owners a hard time about it, they can do without the problems of sorting out squealers.

    Do you think this is some secret society outside the realms of the real world?:rolleyes:
    I am quite positive that is where you are coming from.

    Oh for goodness sake, we had a good culinary exchange going on......move on non foodies, move on.

    Brandy in my hot drink, for the record, tastes a bit like drinking crepe suzette. I like crepe suzette but not this. I do not recommend this course of action. That said I'm fully tipsy now, and not going to try any more cold busting drink inventions tonight.

    I am ill. I made a big pizza earlier and ate the whole lot.
    It was 3 cups of flour sizewise. Would have served 6.
    Now I am suffering. Stuffed, bloated, uncomfortable, burning up, restless.

    I need looking after really.

    • Those who claimed that it crossed a line of civil legality have been proven wrong. No the family could sue for false accusations see bbc link earlier.
    • It has not been universally condemned for crossing a line of decency? Does it have to be?
    • Some of those who thought that it was in bad taste did not think it should have been pulled. But the mods did!
    So all we are left with is that the site owners gave in to the squealers. Of course complain to them then or are you scared to? This post aint going to do anything!

    I think that the site owners set the threshold far lower - something like appeasing easily offended squealers and keeping them off their backs. I'm not going to give the site owners a hard time about it, they can do without the problems of sorting out squealers. Sorry you are giving the mods a hard time as you are saying they can not make their own mind if somthing is offensive.

    I am quite positive that is where you are coming from.

    As you said earlier your views in the outside are not accepted so in the real world I am not alone! Just because you have a few people on a website agree with an extreme view does not make it the norm![/font]
    ]I can post forever if you want but I will not stop saying the thread was wrong, because it was.

    Well, you are confusing opinion and fact again, but give us a link and I'll take another view if you think that would help me change my mind.

    Ok, sorry got involved in real life for a second there.

    I find the fact you take offense offensive. Does that make sense?

    I cannot and really have trawled my brain over this, understand why you would want something pulled from a thread when it's over the internet.

    I really do think that you must need help for just going out shopping with the amount of insensitive people out there.

    Do you ask shopping centres to ban everyone who upsets you? You know simple stuff like having doors banged into your face or a shop assistant that doesn't think you are worth talking to... etc.

    It crosses the line of decency; in your head. Maybe not others though. That is why I think pulling the thread was wrong.


    Anyway an anology I am going to make. At the various kids parties I go to as a parent. We all hate the 'squealer' even if it's our own. I kid you not, the moany whinging kid is not popular, even at that age.

    Realy ''Gangstabird pushed me''

    GBS mother '' is there blood, no, stop moaning''

    Realy to another mother '' Incisor hurt my feelings''

    I will leave incisor to deal with that one.

    You are ''realy'' out of touch with real life and if your life is spent on here and worrying so much about something that you feel the need to complain, then you need to stop being on here. This is not the customer services desk at Asda.

    The OP yesterday made out that the banker was going to be criminal charged so this is relevent.
    "Action could also be taken on the grounds of malicious falsehood - where a claim survives for the benefit of the estate. "

    Hopefully that puts this to bed now. Obviously it would have to go to court but I presume the mods do not want false allegations on their site.
