    How about freecycling inflatable rabbits then? That covers everything! :rotfl:

    i'm off, this was a thread about freecycle, now its turned into a thread that should be in the arms, this isn't what the thread was for.

    thanks everyone, it was fun.

    Interesting. We seem to have attracted some "Arms" undead to come here and thank each other - hey ho! :p:p

    I'm sorry, I've kept quiet and stayed on topic with the hope that all would be fine, but now you're insulting me too. Don't you think that's a little unfair? I've been posting on freecycle for a good few weeks now (before you joined up if I remember rightly as I welcomed you and said not to get scared) but I'm also an "Arms" undead as you so oddly put it.

    There is absolutely no need for the hostility, has everyone forgotten the old phrase "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"?

    I'm both an Arms and Freecycle thread regular, and I'm damn proud of it!
    :cool:

    I know what you mean. Perhaps someone should PM a mod and get this one locked. Then we can start again and hopefully have it as it was.

    There seems to be a weirdness surrounding the arms... Like we cant do anything else but post on there.. Just cause i choose to post on the arms for the main part, doesnt for one second mean that I have no interest in other parts of this forum... Do i loose my place as a member of all the other threads and forums just cause i join in with the arms? No one on 'old style' is like this, no one in 'health and beauty' is like this, no one on all the hundreds of other parts of this forum are like this... Its a public forum, and i can post where i want to...
    You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

    Oh joy. Another good thread ruined :( I hope those of you who clearly came to disrupt it are pleased with yourselves.

    This thread should probably be in the Arms anyway as it's more a discussion thread about Freecycle than a freebie post itself ..

    ..who knows, they might move you over and you can join us ... we're a nice bunch :D

    Thank you welshdeedee for posting this.
    Regarding Mods getting first dibs......look at this straight from a horse's mouth (continuing the animal theme :D )
    you also get the chance to get the first bite at the cherry...
    Hmmmmmmmmmm?

    I had many replies saying I was wrong, but your post proves I was right. Thanks.

    I honestly didnt know that was true... Im shocked by that, its bad form... on our freecycle last week, someone offered knickers... 15 pairs of them... who on earth would want second hand knickers??

    You're ALL very welcome indeed. Hopefully the nastiness, vitriol, and spite you and your chums seem to enjoy in the Arms apparently directed principally at me won't spill over to here? Interesting to see what happens because I picked up on one piece of abuse your chum made to another poster the other day.


    I didn't realise the normal MSE rules against abusive behaviour didn't apply to the Arms, or I wouldn't have made any gags.

    you have my sincere apologies if I have at all been abusive directly towards you in anyway :o

    ask any of my chums...it's not my nature.
    I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
    And nothing's going to bring me down
