    Many of the regulars on mse love to put down insult and gang up on ops..
    Just next time get a story off the net that's not that well known. Not a put down just a warning of the roasting you will get from our local pitbulls :D:rotfl:

    Sorry, Didn't realise it was so well known lol! Thanks for the advice.

    I made 'I THINK' bold, not just 'THINK' , showing that me as an individual has an opinion, which overs obviously cannot understand.



    I can only assume you are, actually, because you seem to not be able to understand the difference between 'I THINK' and 'THINK' on it's own. Go on, say it out loud to yourself now, then re-read my post. Maybe that will help you understand.
    I think its time to lay this ghost to rest, its turning into a circus, there is no point in arguing your case back, as some folk on here are already resorting to insults, which is a shame.

    Whether you were duped or not, whether it actually happened or is an urban myth, its becoming more of a witch hunt, some have even gone to the trouble of trawling through pages and pages of internet "needlessly", some I know on here should know better re etiquette.

    Story or not, its a good warning to others, particularly if they havent gone around looking up urban myths, but for now, I think your best just leaving this thread to sink to oblivion.

    No, you clearly don't think quite obviously.

    I can only assume you are rather stupid and simple minded.

    Yes, white, you obviously havn't read it properly!

    I think that Bowling_4_Gold honestly believes this story because it was related to him by his Sister.

    Unfortunately, the story was passed to his sister, by the husband of the sister (henceforth BIL): -

    I asked my Sister today more about it, and she told me that it was in fact her HUSBAND's work colleague it happened to, and he knows her by name. He was told the story by her, and in fact it was NOT my Sister's friend.


    Sadly, even the OP admits that the BIL is not acceptable as a witness: -

    The thing is that it was my Sister's friend... If it was my Sis's husband (who is one of those people you really don't want to engage in any kind of conversation with) I would dismiss it almost immediately.


    Clearly the unpleasant BIL has passed on this ancient old chestnut of Urban Legend, in an attempt to seem interesting to his poor wife, who has now relayed it as gospel to the OP.

    Poor misguided, deluded but faithfull Bowling_4_Gold, standing by his sister! The fact is that the OP is thinking that we are attacking the Sister when it should be the BIL who is gets the kicking for being such a thicko for passing on this myth in the first place....
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.

    I think you are right. I shall try and take a back seat for now, it's just when annoying little thread stalkers reply to every point I make, it is hard to resist pointing out the things they have missed.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Remember, there is an ignore button for those unsavoury characters, aside which your best option is to just ignore this thread completely.;)
