So? I'm reporting him now - Oh Wow! What a revelation that is!! Or are you implying I do ALL the reporting on this forum? You need to wind your neck in

What a lovely person you are, and three LOLs, which you can't seem to live without - there's nothing more demeaning than someone laughing at their own UNFUNNY "jokes"

FYI - Amazon have some great deals on electric blankets at the moment

And the disgusting name-calling.
Arguments and disagreements are part and parcel of a forum but one poster continually does it.
A brave keyboard warrior.

Awwww

Did the nasty man use a rude word again??

Aww did you get all upset

Poor lamb 😔

It's great how people like you are always droning on about wokeness and free speech - then you get your knickers is a bunch when someone uses the F word

Paaaaaathetic 😘

P.s. I'm reporting you for calling me a keyboard warrior - that's deeply deeply upsetting to me

Did you miss your own comment about hoping Herc dies in a cold spell?
You can give it but.....

Time for a palette cleanser, I feel.

Not a religious man in any sense of the word, but the French have done a magnificent job on Notre Dame.
And, instead of 'faking it up' to look ancient like it did before, they've made it look like the day it was built.
Breathtaking. Can't wait to visit it.

I found this post a real insight into how naturally middle class you are Lazzard. I don't mean that in any derogatory way , if anything there is a hint of envy. Its like when BBC news cover a story in France the reporters all use perfect pronunciations of place names and understand the geography having spent childhood summers
there.
I'm not a class warrior or anything its just that the subject matter and genuine concern really stuck out as a breath of fresh air on a site that is now just a board for the bored to argue from polarised positions.

To be honest, Teddy, everything I've learn to appreciate about 'stuff' & 'culture" has been acquired from my mid-20's.
Advertising in the Eighties took ordinary suburban kids like me and thrust us into a world of travel, food, art etc.
I don't think it's a class thing - just lucky, really.

Either way you naturally ooze it which is a nice touch.
I know you're self made as that comes out in your advice which is laden with experience .
My point I suppose is that the subject matter and the concern/ relief really stuck out among the arguing and bickering.
Regardless how you got there you are the poshest poster by a mile,

Ahh, so you admit you are Paaaaaathetic, and you are - you have no friends on here to speak of. Do you think anyone takes your mentally unbalanced rants serious?

AND There is an enormous chasm between wanting someone out by getting them banned to wanting someone out in the hope they die.

But then, clearly your tiny brain cannot comprehend that, so maybe you need to be pitied, but there's no way I can do that over such a detestable specimen of low life like you.

The plan failed.

Just before COVID struck I went on Before Sunset tour and was sad that Notre Dame was just a husk. Looking at the pictures it's incredible what they've done since then, and a reminder that humans aren't a completely lost cause.

I am drawing a line under this bickering now. No one really comes out of this looking particularly rosy. Anyone who engages after this point will simply be suspended without further warning.

Please don't push me to a point where I'm no longer bothered about even keeping the forums running.

I have never been to Paris. I have been to France and a few Euro capitals but never Paris, I need to do so.
My two "I would love to' destinations are New York Christmas shopping and Moscow any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I once went to Prague about 3 months after the country became a republic not because it was incredibly cheap which it was. But because the buildings and the shops everything including the hotel were so still Soviet that it made me feel like Harry Palmer.

I'm with you on Moscow, just because I want to see the underground with chandeliers. Now that's an underground.

Not been to Prague, but I love Tom Cruise titting about there in the first Mission Impossible so it's definitely on my wish list.
