Well of course now I'm curious, what's on the naval one, re-enactment of Midway, the Solomoms, Ironclads or mission accomplished ?

Do your own homework you lazy so and so.

Me and Rich had a very reasonable discussion over the weekend. I don't believe a single word was said in anger.

I know, I read it. I thought Rich was very restrained

Anyway, I was referring to Kenny's wind problem.

You must be so proud of him

You'll have to excuse him - he can't help it.

Isn't it about home time for you

Too many beans sitting around one of his frequent camp fires

Stop nagging

Now play nicely while I'm away - no fighting, no farting

You need to go back and read some more posts

Perhaps you'd care to point out where you apologize to TessB?

 

[ColinEssex]

yes, he's a good mate

[dan-cat]

Would you describe him as a buddy or a chum?

 

[Rich]

I'm sorry that you don't see it that way.

 

[Rich]

Chum's bloody dog food !

Which would be how WE describe you (Sometimes )

Bloodhound, unlike you, bloodthirsty

Let's put this one to a poll, shall we?

No, other than one it's not for anybody else to judge

I'm simply interested in whether an average person would interpret that statement as an apology. Perhaps I'm the one who's wrong, but to me just because a sentence contains the words "I'm sorry" doesn't make it an apology.

But you have a point in that it only really matters how TessB took it. I'd be quite curious to hear from Tess as to whether she feels you have apologized to her for hurting her feelings at any point.

Are we not allowed to discuss semantics? I see nothing wrong in discussing the meaning of a phrase.
