    I've given you aaaages to spot the error ... :)
    Paranoid of having a banging at the door as it's been "recognised" as me :)

    I like the anonymity of the Internet .... and wish to not be "discovered" moaning about people/strangers/neighbours/friends online. :)

    You never know who has "spotted" you, that knows it's you ...and lurks in case you speak about them :)

    Eh?

    :huh:

    I've deleted it. :(




    It's really hard deleting posts,at the moment........that's why I accidentally deleted my own earlier. It doesn't seem to do it for ages and then throws a wobbly.
    I tried to delete a duplicated post earlier, and ended up deleting both by mistake!

    Anyway, I've deleted the whole post.


    Sometimes brain doesn't engage. Please, please, if I do it again, just tell me! I'd much rather you did.

    No problem, Silvercar, it wasn't anything very profound, just me rambling on about Celsius and Fahrenheit! :rotfl:

    Not worth the bother! :D





    I didn't know you were a board guide!

    :eek: Will have to watch my Ps and Qs now! :rotfl:

    Well, that programme was a pile of regurgitated !!!!!!! It had so little actual content even I could've done better without notes!

    You mean that my advance synopsis of it being more of the "nonstop "news", gossip, rumours and plain idle speculation" was pretty close?

    Yes, I just got rid of a couple of my own .... and it is annoying when it sits there and you have to wait for 2-3 minutes for it to get round to doing it

    Seriously, though, and anyone else that's listening/watching/whatevering........ sometimes I just don't register stuff.. Whether it's me just being blinkered, dunno..... but if I ever do quote a DQWD .... please just yell at me! And keep yelling until I do something about it! :o:o

    It wasn't even good enough to qualify for that description! An utter waste of time ... as is Greg the Gurning Grocer who is now on.

    To be fair, though, a lot of people might have missed some of the coverage, due to being away on hols, or whatever, so might have been grateful for the summary.

    I was on holiday when the Borough Market thing hit, and I only knew about it because I had tuned in the TV really early to get the BBC World News to hear about any developments re. the election. Were it not for that, I wouldn't have known, and several people in the group were oblivious to it having happened.

    So continuous coverage can be useful, even if for some of us it becomes repetitive. :cool:

    42 in one room! FORTY TWO!

    Obviously they might've all been in the corridor together and then kept moving away from flames until they all ended up in one flat (rather than the services having found an HMO) .... but that's a lot.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4616542/Rescue-team-bodies-42-one-room-Grenfell-Tower.html

    It's not been confirmed, but if that were the case, My thoughts are that it was far more likely that they had all just ended up in what they hoped would be the safest flat. :(

    If people are having problems with this thread it may be time to start a new one. Although MSE no longer requests that threads are limited to 10,000 posts, it may be that a long thread is causing reloading problems.
