AOG - that comment is likely to get you upbraided for being offended on behalf of others - a modern phenomenon, and not an especially appreciated one.

I think mamya was being facetious, knowing that the huge majority of people on here know her well enough to know that she hasn't got a malicious bone in her body.

Only those who she has not been malicious against.

The words "Distasteful in the extreme" were the exact words to made towards me in a separate thread.

Or did I take offence too easily, perhaps she was once again, only being facetious?

Sounds like the Dwarves have got ideas above their station and priced themselves out of the market, serves the greedy little beggars right imo.

[Jackdaw33]

LOL @ Baldric.

Not having seen that thread, I can't really comment.

What the bloody hell ....

[Jackdaw33]

I'm not getting involved but I do recognise that cloying sanctimony can be a bit much at times.

It was a pretty limp attempt at humour at the least.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh dear - well on a thread where I made straight forward comments on the topic and amidst many joky references to the stature of the dwarf actors - I recount one of the oldest jokes in the book furore breaks out.


To all amputees I apologies profusely.

Apology accepted, Mamy ( well I've lost a few toenails in my time)

[Mamyalynne]

You and me both.

Football can be a tough game at times, mamya ... What position did you play?

[Mamyalynne]

Sweeper, the story of my life.
