Is this the same poster who has retired from a city to a village and was told to stop gossiping by a third party at a village gathering recently ?

Don't think so but they might get on well!;)

No. That was Moneyistooshort.......

Telling the Welsh peasants ho to behave, I suspect.

I'd like to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume their rude responses have been due to anxiety over the upcoming social event...but maybe not.

I don't know you. You don't know me. You can't pass judgement about me. Doing so shows more about you than me. I shan't be lowering myself to your level and certainly don't new to justify my wide and varied social circle to trolls like you or my very sociable job. My query related to a situation I had never found myself in. I got some very good and constructive comments from actual posters not armchair sad old aged trolls and keyboard warriors like you - that's just beneath me. So feel free to waste more oxygen and hot air as I won't be further checking this thread. Thankd to rest.

Please avoid alcohol at this event - obviously your very sociable job hasn't taught you all the skills you need

Most people learn early on that in this kind of situation you don't embarass your host or their guests by behaving ungraciously but are considerate of others. If you do encounter your bete noir head on you smile politely then turn away and speak to someone else not make nasty remarks like a spiteful teenager or so pointedly ignore them or refuse to speak to them that no-one can miss your bad manners.

This * 1000

Based on the rest of the thread I'd say definitely definitely don't go though. You're in a bad place and looking for people to take the negativity out on and this is not the time to go to places where you know your bete noir will be.

My post started all this. I was initially sorry but now reading his/her responses I am reassured that my cheeky but silly remark was actually spot on.

OP clearly isn't a teenager, he's younger, chucking his toys out of the pram when he does't hear what he wants to hear.

Suck it up buttercup.

As my mum said when me and my sister were arguing as kids I don't care who started it both of you shut up

And you resurfaced this thread because? You call the OP childish, tbh you are just as bad.

IMO I think the OP has got an unnecessarily hard time of some of the posters. Did they even say they were going to be rude to the person they want to avoid?

This thread has been live for days always hanging around the top five or six on this board. I ignored it for ages but yesterday decided to comment.

Yes OP has gotten a hard time and I didn't help (although I wasn't abusive like he has been) but his reaction has led to the continued activity.

But yes I do accept I haven't been constructive in all of this. But it's alright, no-one died.
