Your question about yer missus, when she was carrying the olympic torch wasn't answered cynically was it? Perhaps thats cos yeh have been around awhile.? seem to recall gremlin helping out wi that, but then as yeh dont come on that much, perhaps yeh aint aware of the his circs. also yeh aint aware of what goes on on here sometimes.

Did I say that all posts are dealt with cynically? I just highlighted that somebody on the roofelt post had questioned the motives for the post.
I've also appreciated in the past the help I've received via the website No offence was intended to Gremlin. I come on Accyweb as and when I need/want to.
I just wish that posts would be taken more at face value without there having to be a hidden agenda

It's Saturday night Russell, sometimes folks just need something to occupy themelves. Specially when there's nothing on TV - OK unless you like snooker...

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
They could always come round here and do some ironing for me.
I am in bed at the moment with a back which is reluctant to let me stand for more than a few minutes and reading a book by Bill Bryson.
There are other authors by the way in case you think I am advertising his work.
The iPad is on the bedside cabinet keeping an eye on this thread, there are other tablets by the way to watch the internet on.

I see you haven't lost your sense of humour!
When I first looked at your post I read Enid Blyton for Bill Bryson - thought you were heading for your second childhood!
Hope your back gets better soon.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
The old back has had a couple of operation in the past 14 years but is normally OK.
I took friend to three different supermarkets today and stupidly walked around with him.
I think the twisting and dodging other people upset my back.
A good night rest will put it right.
That and a nice big glass of, better not say.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
Gremlin, I don't think I said how sorry I was for your loss, if not I do so now.
I can't imagine life without my other half- ironing shirts must be the least of your problems.
As for the back- it's no fun, is it? I spent 7 months last year unable to walk more than 100 feet without sitting down. They(the experts) say you should keep it moving but we all have different causes.
I'm sure hedman meant no offence to you- there are so many threads and posts on Accyweb it's impossible to keep up to date on everyone.
They do say two big glasses do you more good than one! It won't cure it but you won't care.

Indeed no offence was intended to Gremlin my point was more about the responses that are sometimes made in response to requests for information and once again if any was taken then I sincerely apologise.
In no way was I suggesting that this was advertising but just in some other posts there are responses raising questions on the validity of the question
Some posts for example of asked directly which is the best taxi company or your favourite takeaway and people pass comments either positive or negative without question

That's usually because the person doing the asking has come on out of the blue, has no history with the site & is "asking" about recommendations for this or that & well, would you believe it, another new member signs up & "advises" the asker ............ cynical minds may see some ploy in this & raise queries about the asker & their integrity.
Gremlin is well known on the site & those others you mention are usually known to other members so are seen as genuine & not a plant. Anyways tuition over, so lets just let it rest now Hedman, all friends again & no ones honour or integrity impinged eh ?

As for Gremlin's situation, I don't know how often you visit the forum, but he posted this thread a few weeks ago (see especially posts 1, 33 and 39). I thought you might be aware of it. He has been receiving support from Accyweb members since then but I won't say any more as I respect his privacy.

Totally agree susie, Gremlin is one of the most genuine chaps you'd hope to meet
