Thanks all,

Your support is much appreciated, but sometimes things get a bit too much, particularly when a pm from the RR'r would have had me removing the offending post in double quick time :-(

Sirius, join the queue regarding my avatar :-0

Unfortunately, it is a scanned copy of a cousin's picture, and I don't want to mess with it in case I lose it altogether.

Until I made recent contact with my cousin, I actually only had one photo of my grandfather :-(

As for my humour, Sirius, others obviously don't share your view; well one other that is :-|

Fair enough Allan, keep it as it is :-)

LOL Sirius

As I said to AnnC recently, you can always tilt your screen ;-)

Sirius Report 15 Jul 2014 14:45

I've just seen this thread!

YOU CANNOT GO ALLAN :-| :-| :-|

I ABSOLUTELY FORBID IT ...DO YOU HEAR :-| :-|

You are one of my best friends on GR. I cannot imagine the Quizzes without you on them. You always make me laugh with your quirky puns and sense of humour. You make seemingly boring tasks, like changing a letter at a time, fun.

Who will help me "deal" with Mike? :-S :-S :-S

Don't give the idiot who reported your post the satisfaction.

I will miss you Allan- so you can't go so there:-P

:-) :-) <3

And, having writ, moves on.
Nor all thy piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.

After a disturbed night's sleep, I woke up wondering why I can't be as perfect as some. :-(

I wish that I had the wisdom, and celestial knowledge, to be able to say

This or that offends me, ergo everyone else will be offended. Therefore I must act to prevent such a happening.

Very similar, I suppose, to the way the Puritans thought.

In my youth, I did see things in such black and white terms but,

as we all know, there are fifty shades of grey ;-)

Allan sorry but that settles it! As you've quoted my mum's favourite lines from 'Omar Khayyam' you now HAVE to stay, it's a rule. :-D

Allan

Allan Report 15 Jul 2014 23:16

Sirius,

Ironically, one of the few possessions that I have from my mother after she passed away is her copy of Omar Khayyam. I do enjoy the sentiments and philosophy contained therein.

Particularly the references to wine :-D

Sirius

Sirius Report 15 Jul 2014 23:33

I have my mum's copy of it too Allan, and definitely agree about the wine lol.

Allan........have a think...........just take some time out. You are one of the favourite Aussies on here. Your humour is 2nd to none.

You have just reached 39,000 posts on this thread would be great to make it 40,000 this year.... :-D

Don't worry about the RR'er...............I don't.......... :-P

Allan

Allan Report 15 Jul 2014 23:56

Thanks MrM

Whilst the post RR'd to my mind was inoffensive, it just caught me at a vulnerable time.

I just wish that the RR'r would realise that sometimes actions have consequences, and whilst he/she/it may get a vicarious pleasure from such actions, they can have a profound affect on some :-(
