She can be blunt, but her point of view is usually worth considering, even if ultimately you disagree.
I feel that she has mad a well worded, valid and factually correct post, from the information given.
Sorry if you disagree.

The Internet is a lifeline for those that can't get out much. Those people certainly shouldn't feel bad about being on the forums a lot.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

OT, I know, but my girls have left to go and sleep outside in a cardboard box for 12 hours and it's cold

I'm sure they will appreciate their warm beds even more after this experience

Put me on ignore. I won't get upset. The sun will still rise tomorrow.
I'm sure you'd love us all to disappear so you can try and clamber out of the massive hole you've dug yourself without doing the right thing and admitting you are in the wrong!
You were wrong about the new regulations but you told Dunroamin she was wrong and knows nothing!
Then you went further and said she was rude and a bully, while acting like a bully yourself.
Lastly, you have insulted posters who have backed up Dunroamin with evidence!
Sometimes it's about knowing when to step away - you're just making a fool of yourself now!0 -

Leaving school is not the issue, you can leave school but still must go on to further training as shown in Pipkins post. So I am afraid it is OMO who is wrong.
As for the real life comment....yes, none of us have jobs, families, friends or indeed lives!!;)
Which is exactly what I posted in post # 31
"They won't have to stay in education, it's "education and training" which includes apprenticeships and jobs with training. What they won't be able to do is sit round at home all day playing games."
Unfortunately, this seems to have been the post that started Ownyourown kicking off, so you may find it's your turn now. How anybody can get so annoyed at someone politely posting accurate information, escapes me entirely.0 -

I wouldn't even have said you were blunt on this occasion! It's all very bizarre!0 -

Bizarre is the word indeed - I thought I'd been meticulously polite on this thread, as well as very helpful.
I suppose some people just react badly when they find out they're wrong.
Maybe we have misjudged? I'm sure she's notsobad
What are you calling undesirable behaviour ?
You make it sound like these young people are all anti social yobs.Own_My_Own wrote: »She won't answer that. She likes to post negative things and run.Hi all

Many thanks as alwaysI'm taking it that the cars quite new.

My car is an 04, and I get that. But I am now completely confused.
Sorry if this has been asked before ! I'm sure it must have been, or am I the only slow one on here !Own_My_Own wrote: »I know some people don't like them, but the picasso has 3 individual seats in the back. ( I like mine)

Perhaps it's time to draw a line in the sand on this and allow discretion to be the better part of valour..................
