  • Good old Ribena she loves to point out the spelling errors I assume it makes her feel good and builds self esteem, I personally just go and tuck into a nice bit of steak, or veal or something scrumptious.

    Each to their own. You sound like you have some issues there?

    What's eating meat got to do with texting? I couldn't give a crap about what you eat, so your digs are completely wasted on me.

    I had 4 girls on Thursday , looking after them. While driving with them bickering in the car I been shocked by how tendencies to being petty , catty and beachy - tipical and topical women , eh - were obvious at 7 years of age already :D
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    It's odd how you subconsciously assign a gender to a poster. I'd had Ribena down as a guy but it reads like everyone else is thinking lady?

    That's your issue to work through...not mine.

    It's not an issue though, everybody is different and as you know one hat doesn't fit all, please see my other thread I'm about to post as I would be interested in your view.

    I was the opposite, I thought lady (abrupt one n all) but then re-reading the later posts and yours changed my mind.
    But it's good if posters can post without giving away their gender by the way they post.
    You'd never make a detective. ;)

    Me too, :o
