Bemused Bystander

Way too long to bother reading.

People get too involved in others petty arguments.

Sometimes because of the behaviour displayed in the room, it’s hard to remember that the majority of F3 are 40+ years old!

Log on for whatever reason you do; log off when you’ve had enough, then just forget about it! It really isn’t that important….

Welcome to the boards, Ge.

Bemused

Sophia asked for a picture of the dog, not its owner…..

I think Kenty was using the mother of the 3 boys as an example, not the men themselves as parents.

The same woman raised all 3 boys yet one is very different from the other two.

What age do people mean by ‘kids’?

I’m not sure Mr Kart was talking about those in single figures. At my age, I still refer to people in their early twenties as kids….

I used to have a terrible fear of snakes like most.

Years ago I went to a small circus and they brought  a massive one round for people to stroke. I declined. A few minutes later they asked for a volunteer to have it put around their shoulders. I looked at the floor – obviously not wanting to make eye contact with the handler.

I hope they all have a good time.

To be fair in the main, I’m not sure people are arguing, are they?

Welcome to the boards, Lia.

It is always a difficult subject – you’re right. Maybe if we spoke about it more often it would become easier.

I’ve spoken to my kids about what I want (the cheapest of everything (I’m not going to care, I won’t be there to admire my £3000.00 coffin!) and no flowers – if people can’t buy me flowers when I’m alive, why would I want them when I’m…[Read more]

Can we have a ‘Don’t like’ button too please? I’d like to have used it a few times on this thread.

‘Devil’s Advocate’ seems to be a phrase used on here when one wants to be deliberately argumentative and/or confrontational (IMHO, obviously).

May I ask when you last chatted in F3?

Yes.

For some reason, nearly every thread on here ends up with someone being unpleasant to another. I just don’t get it. Are people only happy when they’re getting one up on someone else?

It’s a chat room! It’s not real life! I know for some their online life spills over to their real life and that’s fine – that’s your choice, but it’s getting to the…[Read more]

I have to agree with most of the above. The chat (unless it’s being unpleasant about someone) is non existant of late, which is a real shame.

I remember laughing my socks off at some of the conversations that went on – that seems to be a rare event now.

It was never exclusive though, people would chip in and add to the mayhem, maybe even stir it…[Read more]

Angela…you don’t chat in F3 anymore as you’ve said previously, yet you still go on and on about it.

Not everyone who chats in there is an ‘ego maniac’, there are some nice people too.

Time to move on maybe?
