Rose, that’s a variant on what one of the surivivors said in the morning news yesterday.. She was 6 or 7, in primary school, when the tip fell on the school. She escaped through a hole in the roof, traumatised by the fate of some of her classmates. She said “I will never forget it, and I don’t want to forget it”.

An ex-paratrooper, 18 at the…[Read more]

Pete is absolutely right.

Shifting posts will never in itself get people talking.

I only go to the serious board when people are respondiong to posts, and that is very rare. – the Aberfan thread is starting to get them – a little.

But as far as I am concerned, unless more posters respond to serious threads, it’s not worth my while going…[Read more]

Thank you, Somer.

I type too speedily sometiems – the results have often been noted by others on JC.

The people of Aberfan had to pay to have the tip removed after the disaster. Well, nobody else was going to cough up the money, were they? Certinaly not the NCB, who had been told of the movments in the tip three years before the tragedy.

They…[Read more]

The worst thing was that the people of Aberfan had to pay to have the tip removed after the disaster. Well, nobody else was going to cough up the money, were they? Certinaly not the NCB, who had been told of the movments in the tip three years…[Read more]

Thank you, ms K.

A  voice of reason as well as wit ever since I’ve been in JC.

Almost everyone of my posts seems to attract the 3 or 4 notwits  with attacks ranging from petty malice to (in one person’s case) the berserk

You said it all, Ms K., and they’re still not going to listen. If I spent my time answering them (or taking them s…[Read more]

you’re right Pete, everybody knows the difference between knockabout banter (which is fun) and sustained abuse.

and that made me laugh out loud.

and Arc, you really should read the posts more carefully, luv. It wasn’t chowa who lost her dad

hahaha

Chowa, thank you for that post, and for the heart-warming comment at the end.

I’m generally ok with these people – some of them are worse than others. It will take more than these to drive me off the boards.

I actually know that the volume and consistency of abuse I face has frightened some people off these boards. I also know that some people…[Read more]

Ivor Cutler’s The Wall – brilliantly mimed by some schoolchildren.

He has been conducting an on-off campaign of harassment against moi and gucci in the chatroom. His comment here is a justification of that.

I’m friends with gucci, and I’m sayng he has to stop this campaign.

He won’t, he says.

I hope that clears up misunderstandings.

Not sure how you make that out.

I do enjoy discussing different opinions, if people are articulate enough to present them.

I enjoy discussing differences with drac, and chowa is/was a lovely ray of light in a dark place.

But as we both agree that Gramps should just iggy gucci and moi, and (I assume you agree?) should  stop harassing them, then…[Read more]

Arc,

that’s precisely my point. iggy them.

I don’t see the problem, apart from the fact that you don’t seem to like what I write, or my style.

Sorry. You can join the queue – which now amounts to 3 or 4 people.

I’ll live with it.
