At last, you can see him for what he is.

Less, I don't quite know why you should think that I am not able to evaluate posts and those who post them.

Whoa, hang on I read the above and nearly choked on my chicken take away!

Of course you can, it's just that you always bend over backwards to give a Dick a second, third even fourth chance.

(I must be up close to infinity), sometimes though, giving up on polite and telling them the truth works so much better.

Unfortunately I've been too tolerant, no longer with, (name and shame), Accyexplorer and d the p. I'll make an exception for Mags, she can't help reading things she shouldn't be allowed to worry her.

The reason? Neither wish to contribute anything useful to the site, they call everyone, never think about others.
Having said that I like dthep the most, he doesn't backtrack once he has you in his sites he doesn't creepily backtrack. He just hates.

Sorry about the choking Less......I never meant harm.
Yes, you are right. I like to give people a second, third or fifty third chance.
Mainly because people have given me chances.
We have all been crazy at times and posted things, which on reflection, perhaps we could have considered more, and posted better.
I thought I was fairly honest in my posts, though I do try to be polite, or courteous.
I think I have told it like it is for both of the posters you name.
I am not here to be nasty.....(please do not construe this as an allegation that you are).
You tell it like it is in your own way. I do the same...just because the glove is velvet does not mean the fingers underneath are not steel.

Excuse me I've just noticed a bias!
Idiot explorer has liked your post.
Now I have no real objection to that, I liked it as well, but how can he like it when he claims to have put me on ignore? Surely he should see what you were answering to be able to get the full details to help him 'like' your post?
Or is he assuming again and stating a like without any real information as to why he's liking it.

Nah, thinking about it he's probably just sucking up.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Less, it maybe he just likes a different bit of my post.
When giving a 'like' it is hard to let the poster which bit of the post that chimed with your own feelings.
It maybe that you both liked the post, but for different reasons......maybe he likes the sound of the velvet glove.
Oh, and Cashy has taught me a very valuable lesson. That is, 'no matter how bad things seem......look for the positive' .......and my own current mantra is:- be kinder than you have to be.

Do things seem bad for you?
I'm sorry to hear that.

No maybe about it M, I had a little chuckle to myself when I read your velvet glove remark, not heard that one before.

Also, you can tell the rejected chuckle brother I can see his posts but I choose to ignore them.....ooooops No need I'm sure he'll read this

Starting off as you mean to continue eh?

There have been times recently when things have been very bad.....but we just have to keep on putting one foot in front of the other......and telling ourselves that tomorrow is another day and we can start with a clean slate.

You won't have heard it before because it is my very own.
Another one I use is :- there might be sugar on the pill, but there is strong medicine under it....and medicine never tastes good.

Dave Lee Travis Found Guilty of assault

Ex-DJ Dave Lee Travis found guilty of indecent assault - BBC News

To be honest I can't see him getting long (if any prison) for what he's been found guilty of.
Even though imo no matter how close you are to someone no body has the right to put their hands on you against your will, especially putting their hands up your jumper etc.....dirty beast

The DLT incident was 19 years ago. It was a grope,not that it makes it ok but, Why didn't she complain at the time?

kerrrrrching

[DtheP47]

According to the Daily Telegraph AccyX she did complain.
"Despite being in shock over what had just happened, the young woman, who had just graduated from university realised she had to tell someone about what had just happened and went straight to her boss, Peter Kessler, a BBC producer and blurted out: “'Oh my God, Dave Lee Travis just grabbed my ****.”

She explained: "I just remember being in a bit of a flap, not knowing what to do ... It was just the most weird, surreal thing. I was mildly hysterical, it was wildly, definitely the weirdest thing that has happened in my life.

“One moment I was smoking a cigarette and the next thing he was sexually assaulting me.”

Perhaps fearing for her future career, or perhaps too shocked and embarrassed about what had happened the young woman decided not take the matter any further with the police or senior BBC executives.

She decided to put the matter behind her and as the years went by she realised her dream and began to forge her own successful career in the entertainment industry."

It was then that her anger over the incident began to build and it started to bother her that she had not pursued the matter at the time.

She said: “For years I didn't talk about it to anyone, if his name came up I would say 'oh he's a wrong 'un. But when I got to my 30s I began to think that was really out of order.

“It wasn’t par for the course. I got cross that he had done it. What an awful thing to do to someone when they are trying to get on with their job.”

Eventually in 2012 following the exposure of the Jimmy Savile scandal, she decided to open up to a male friend, who also worked in showbusiness.

Despite having confided in friends about what had happened, it was not until Travis appeared in court charged with a string of other similar allegations that she plucked up the courage to go to the police."
