The Pointless Page

I agree totally Malcolm. You can talk about what you want, and I find some of your posts very interesting. But allowing others a vicarious enjoyment questioning your right at times, (on a number of threads,) to live your life as you want to, divulging some rather personal details about your finances, your partner and other members of your family and letting others pick those aspects apart isn't totally wise,  If you are happy doing it, and others are happy to continue to assist, then by all means carry on, but it would be helpful if you could decide whether or not it is going to dominate either Pointless or What are you doing today, rather than both. That is all I am suggesting.

As regards people reporting posts, has it occurred to you that the reports might have been done as some thought there was an element of bullying you, trying to act to prevent things escalating? You soak up a lot of criticism, and there are folks out there that care. 

Yes I can see that now, brue. Having said that, the two threads are very similar but with different titles. This one 'Tell us your news and trivia' how is that any different a thread from 'What are you up to?'

I emailed Rowena during the week about the possibility of closing this thread due to the drift away from it's original spirit and intentions. I also thought it might be be better to concentrate resources on the one remaining social thread? So if suggestions and requests are ignored I can only think this is inevitable?

As this is a catch all thread I do not see why it will inevitably be closed. 

What you must realise Malcolm that the forum is not a "hidden" one and when you use your name anyone can google it and see what you have posted. If you don't believe me try Googling your name + caravan , or + Brighton etc.

I don't really have any further say in the matter EasyT. It is now up the individuals involved. 

Indeed Brue. New Threads are like children. We can bring about the birth, nurture them as they grow but at some stage they are subject to the vagaries of the world 

Something to bring it back to the OP

We sell pencils that you have to sharpen yourself ....now there pointless

 Probably find all the posts on CT and little else. 

We ordered a Pizza last night, it duly arrived about 35 minutes later and I handed over a £20 note. The guy who had problems speaking English gave me too much change so I returned it telling him so and he thanked me for the tip, still couldn't get him to understand he'd given me too much change so pointless me standing at the door while it was getting cold. He went away happy thinking he'd had a tip.
