    The ironing that was done 2 days ago is finally being put away-I could do this but never do it rightimage

    I am not happyimage~~~~~~~

    1)-the book didn't sell

    2)I am getting ratty about the lack of manners on this forum-too many people getting free advice and can be arsed to say thanksimage-

    -Not on this thread and doesn't apply to allimage

    But you still have the book. It's worth £65. It must be a good read, at that price.

    If you really want to sell you could try again, like that book that has had 15 bids at £10.

    Your advice is like getting a haircut, or a taxi ride.

    Some people might think that it's worth a tip. Others might not be in the habit of tipping.

    The procedure for tipping is not obvious to non forkers. I suppse you could end each of your posts with something like - "If my advice has helped you, please buy my book on E-bay".

    But you don't want to sound too pushy.

    That is not helping ease my rattyness

    Where is Becks?-I hope Jess is okimage

    Geoff, sorry to hear you're not a happy bunny. Manners, don't get me started!
    Sympathies re Cody, I've always had a problem with my old westie because she was 6 years in a puppy farm and will never ask to go out so if I'm not on the ball, we get a puddle.

    Kate, shame about the pain; 'snot fair when it does it on your weekend :- (

  • sotongeoffsotongeoff Posts: 9,802

    I know this has come up before but it just seems that some just don't get itimage

    Cody doesn't always do this -but if it is raining you have to shove him out the door-mind you would anybody stand and wee in the rain if they didn't have to?

  • FloBearFloBear Posts: 2,281

    Some don't get it, that's all there is to it. You can't change their attitude, only regret that they are like that. If I'm out and about and do something like hold a gate open or make way for someone, and don't get an acknowledgement I just say quite loudly, in my  chirpiest voice 'You're welcome'  - and probably if I'm honest feel a bit smug too ;- )
    And no, I wouldn't want to wee out in the rain - it's worse for girls :- D

    I am going to post something-just make me feel betterimage-might include "you're welcome

    Feeling grumpy-the rest of the dwarfs can wait

    Geoff, I have never seen you cybereticley angry image I agree wiyh Flo , some people are just like that but don't let it spoil your day. Remember your blood pressure ! Maybe some of the people are away from their p.c. and will post later image

  • sotongeoffsotongeoff Posts: 9,802

    Jean-they ask a question -they get an answer and an e-mail-they must look to see what is said at some point if it was that important-it is just bad manners-makes you wonder why you bother to help.

    For someone to be "just like that" is not an excuse

    Which has given you such grief Geoff?

    Inkie cat always growls at the rain when we open the door for her. Gets positvely ferocious if its snow, but then.....

    Wonder how Jess is!

    You could always try Amazon

    Just come in from doing tidy up, Lost my favourite secateurs somewhere in garden imageso having to use some others not the same though. Ones I lost have orange handle but it became very muddy. Maybe it will turn up as tidy up continues.

    Sorry Kate but it has been a lovely bright, mild day here.
