    i hope that this question isn't too personal - but does your house have a toilet?

    and it's colouring book doophus!!
    Well done. Only took one edit.

    Doophus is actually doofus.

    And why cut and paste my toilet gag, and use it out of context? It makes no sense, and is not funny.

    Would you be equally concerned about high house prices?
    Yes, IF they were high.

    you're right each - it's a rubbish gag.

    never understood why you ever used it.

    i've never found it funny.

    Do you let your kids use your log in? It's like wit from a six year old. Plus the grammar of a seven year old. What did you say you did? Docker, was it?

    In all seriousness - who on earth would spell doofus as doophus? What level of brain dead would make that connection?

    For me, it is about how personal the insults to Carolt sometimes become. I have read posts that have jeered at her income, her occupation, her family and her sexuality. That seriously isn't acceptable.

    I equally dont like some of the nastier attacks on Hamish or a few other posters and have said so.

    I couldn't give a tinkers damn whether someone thinks house prices are falling or rising. No one should be attacked here on a personal level.

    Not you, not me, not Carolt

    A post so good I'd like to thank it twice. so, Thanks. :)


    Sometimes its annoying that I'd like to acknowledge a good post but at the end of a post their is a swipe one way or t'other. Then I have to debate tact versus recognition of point, or wit, and sometimes, well, quite often really, the decision is made for me if I hover over the thanks button too long, (why no ''unthanks''?). sometimes the swipes are funny: but then you remember there is a person on the receiving end. Not nice whoever does it/receives it.

    I so know where you are coming from. I thank posts then think.. ouch, shouldn't have done that, didn't see that bit.

    I then thank the next six posts out of sheer embarassment mostly.
