Sadly, kids are very cruel and no matter what you do, there will always be bullying to some degree. The victim does not need to have any form of 'difference', just having an unusual name is enough.

They usually come through OK though.


Unless they arm themselves to the teeth and kill 31 of their schoolmates. The most unfunny thing I've ever seen. And its not true that there's nothing we can do. If reasoning adults can't lead the way on this then what good are we. I was never so proud as when one of my kids would come to the defense of someone who was being bullied.

Folknacious.Offence not offense. I am not humourless,my humour is diferent from yours,is that understood. if you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Folknacious,your willing enough to take the piss,but dont seem to like it, when I give my opinion of your humour,if you give it out baby,you got to learn to take it. I dont find your humour offensive[apart from the big ed comment,just predictable],however you are a fine artist.

"You're", not "your". Nobody who has heard my singing, mostly restricted to the shower, or indeed seen my paintings would ever describe me as a "fine artist", or probably any kind of artist at all other than the p*** variety! I didn't bother to reply to your incomprehensible PM banging on about Mud-e-ceilidh's "Big Ed" creation (apologies if you're dyslexic, but why on earth can't you learn to do simple punctuation and message quoting like everybody else over age 5 on here?) but I am beginning to suspect that you've deluded yourself that I'm somebody I'm not. No wonder you were allegedly accused by somebody else of being on drugs!! And by the way, I think we've worked out that you don't like Borfolk, but please feel free to tell us again if it amuses you.

Folknacious,

A PM from another regular user of this forum received by me today says:-

Vic
I think you've forgotten the First Commandment of Mudcat.
"Do not try to argue with Captain Birdseye, for it will end in much wailing and gnashing of teeth"
It is easy to get tempted, but better to resist!

I think that this is good advice - for both you and me. I shall certainly be following it in future.

Vic - don't you mean

I think,you've forgotten the.First Commandment of MudcatDo not, try to argue with Captain Birdseye, foritwill end,in much wailing andgnashing of teethIt is easy,to gettempted, but better,to resist!

I think I'm getting the hang of it now but I will take your advice if you promise to take your own. A pact?

What's it they say on Froots? IAFWAFIAWMWQ isn't it?

Ken

"presumably, you don't have to endure PMs from Captain......"

Not so - but the same advice and the same policy will apply with them.

(Didn't copy your insult as I don't think it helps.)

I've no idea why Dick has copied the text of a private message to me here or why he's unable to spell Néillidh Boyle's name correctly.

Is there any way of filtering private messages?

Anybody who doesn't think that Mud E Ceilidh is a delightful satire need only look at the opening page--even the type-face and font:

Hi this is Jan, and I want to know when the next Dirge Night will be held at Borfolk. I really miss Dirge Night. Does anyone else?

I mean you can't beat a good dirge can you? Especially when you're all sitting in a circle hoping your turn will never come because you enjoy hearing everyone else's wonderful dirges so much. Plus you can't really remember what your dirge was about anyway.

Yeah, I miss Dirge Night too. It was a bit like Mudcat set to music!

This thread is wonderful!!
Keep it up guys (Though I think I detect a bit of a sense of humour bypass going on in some quarters!)
I'm proud to be known by my new name of Harelip!
Not that I've posted anything recently. I was probably attending the ECMW event......(English Country Moaning Weekend)

Dirge Night? Great!

Is there still the prize of a bottle of VP British Cream Sherry for whoever gets the greatest number of deaths into any one dirge?

VP Sherry?
Blimey thats a bit upmarket, isn't it?
In my day it was Watneys Red Barrel.

Jan back again. I am so thrilled that you all remember and long for the good old dirge nights. But I thought it was Bristol Cream Sherry and cheese and onion crisps that was offered as the top prize. I got so discouraged because Anne and Chris always won. My favourite dirge had twenty deaths per verse and I always fell asleep in the middle of it, so I never found out how many verses there were. Does anyone remember that one. Can you help me out here?

Anybody noticed the dreadful rumour that Tescos is about to start taking over festivals ??

That wouldn't surprise me. The buggers are taking over almost everything else!

(By the way, this is a colleague announcement!)

"It was a fine and a pleasant day
In a Tesco store I was faring
And I walked for miles up and down the aisles
As I hunted for the shelves of herring"

Every little helps, my a**e!
