General Chat

It’s because of this constant sniping that I seldom post and I am sure there are others like me. Some of the threads raise interesting points and could provoke good discussions but it isn’t long before someone verbally attacks someone else and it all starts to become personal. I don’t want to be involved in anything like that so I stick to a very few “safe” threads

Before any one gets offended, this is just my feeling and I am not pointing a finger at anyone in particular

I'm afraid I took umbrage when RTR posted that 'Fortunately, he was wealthy enough not to have to eat offal.
Though, he added, of course, in France, offal is regarded as good food and expensive'

I responded that we were talking about offal because it was high in vitamin B12, not because we were poor.

RTR also stated that he was now back at work - dosed up on Nurofen.

...and so it went on....

Nothing about any handy ideas he was given - just British offal was below his price range!

I don't know what RTR said in his RR'd post, I've just got in from work and don't look at the internet whilst there - because I'm working, but I presume he's divulged what his illness now is.

I said it got him the attention he wanted.

I don’t know what Sharron said but Rollo explained why he had cancelled it and mentioned somebody who had upset him on the thread. If this one gets personal I will delete it. We should be able to have a discussion without getting personal. For goodness sake .

Oh for Heavens sake 2 RR what was said??

:-)

Thank you for the explanation Rollo, hope you don't have to wait too long before the results of the test comes back so you know what is what. I was shocked a few years back when a pharmacist tole me I should not be taking Nurofen as it was not compatible with my Amlodopene (BP tablets), nobody had told me that before and I must have been taking them very occasionally when working when I used to get headaches. It is a pain (Literally) not being able to take them as they are really the only thing that help with back and leg pain. Now it is more or less grin and bear it.

Anyway at least the thread got me to buy some liver which we will enjoy.

I am very sorry.
I found a lot of the feedback very helpful and have taken up on some of it as well as some of the recipes.
I am taking Neurofen which allow me to function for the moment at least.

However ....

MaggieW went into attack mode because I called out a doctor - I was in no state to drive or use the metro.
I explained to her that I could get a doctor on my private health insurance and she then went sort of ballistic. Maybe I don't have a right to life who knows.

I really cannot be accomodating to this sort of stuff again and again from her so I just wooshed the whole thread.

again, regrets

It is quite likely that MW will now post more vitriol against me in which case this note will go too.

have a nice day

Oh was it, why det it was fine when I last looked. Why must people do that? No matter what anyone thinks of anyone else it is, indeed, personal and should not be on here. The thread was interesting and, despite what anyone's personal opinions were, Rollo was actually concerned I think. We all have a right to be helped on here and he did actually appreciate the help he got because he said so. No wonder we don't get interesting threads.

It did get him a bit of attention though.

It was starting to turn into a (personal) 'spat'.

Yes it seems he did. I hate it when people remove their threads after GR members have taken the time to respond.

Has Rollo done his usual and removed his thread. I wanted to read a few bits again as I thought there were some interesting food tips on there. And it actually encouraged me to buy some lambs liver when in Tesco this morning. I shall look forward to that tomorrow. Not today as I have a chunk of gammon to use up so it will be in a pasta sauce this evening. (Carbonara of sorts :-D).
