    I cannot deal with people who are disingenous without calling it as I see it. If that offends, so be it. Your argument is unproven.

    However, my level of debate is slightly higher than your last retort in PM which was:-

    "Go away" :rolleyes:
    The one before, I said "Enough", but still you posted back.

    Now, go away.

    Perhaps you are used to wanting the last word and everyone complying? get used to it not happening every time:D

    I am off to bed, as Savvy so correctly says we are way OT and the OP may be wanting to come back with an update and we are preventingher doing so.

  • I once used the term 'half caste' when talking about a particular person to my husband's cousin's husband (who is black Jamaican). He looked very shocked. Until then I had not known that the term could be offensive. I apologised and used the tern' mixed race' instead, which he found acceptable.

    He also uses the 'n' word when talking about himself, bu t Iwould not use it if I was talking to, or about, him.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    My exSIL's children and grandchildren have an impressive heritage. My nieces and nephews are black - plain and simple. They laugh at the term coloured and tell me I'm the one who is coloured as I have more than tone in my skin colouring.
    They were highly amused on their last visit to the UK by the concept of "wiggers" -that is white people who so obviously want to be black!!
    One life.

    Hi, just an update for anyone who is interested ( I really dont want to restart a new row)

    My boyfriend spoke to the owner of the store and explained to her that he had heard there was a problem with his hair which was stopping him working on a Sunday. He said she seemed a bit dotty (is this a pc term? sorry if its not) and she replied that she didnt know where that had come from and that the reason he couldnt work on a Sunday was because other staff are rota'd in who want to work on that day! My boyfriend knows for sure that no one wanted to work on a Sunday, which is why he originally offered to work it.

    So anyhow, when he went in last night, his manager said seeing as the owner wont admit theres a problem, he can now work on a Sunday if he wants :) So hopefully the issue is resolved.

    Thanks to everyone who replied with helpful advice

    Ok. I can confirm that delilah666 has provided me with two examples of her using the name "delilah666" on other popular chat forums. She's been able to prove that she owns these accounts, for example by editing a post and adding the word "MSE" to it. One of her accounts was registered in 2006 showing that she has been using the name "delilah666" for years. I had a quick look through the previous posts and there are no previous examples of trolling that I can see.

    It's good enough for me, so I'm sorry for insinuating you were a troll, I feel the chances are now that you are a genuine poster and not a troll. Hope you get some good help now.

    You are quite possibly the saddest person in the entire world. I bet you work for the council.
