it rained and I burnt the turkey

My entire family was devastated, including the dog.

    Quite a lot of bullies on this section of the forum I have noticed. Some people do over react, some people may be feeling down or already stressed but what I have seen on here over the last few days is nothing short of the pack mentality. It actually makes the one's criticizing look like the sad one's. What happened to "if you have nothing positive to say then say nothing at all" ?

    Exactly. Why can't you say nothing in all these threads, since you're not adding any positive value to them?
    Indeed I am adding something positive. I am pointing out the pack mentality and the cyber bullying that seems to be going on here from a bunch of keyboard warriors. Welcome to my ignore list btw.

    Are you stalking me?

    This started as a light-hearted thread, but the pack mentatility has clearly shown through: You and David (like in the other thread), ganging up against people who have a different outlook on life to yourselves. Running around, thanking people for posts if you like the person, irrespective of whether their comments were correct or helpful, just to reinforce your pack.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    How could raining possibly burn your turkey?

    If you really think that is the case then your best course of action would be to pursue the Met Office.

    (To some of the other posters, lighten up a bit, folks!)

    I'm sure some legal beagle will be on here soon to advise on that one. Personally, I'd paws before responding.
