Sorry again :)
No need to apologise Blondie - everything is just fine. If anyone is upset, it has nothing to do with you! Don't stop!! :)

Keep up the banter - you've never offended anyone!
Well thank you but i do feel a little guilty, maybe you should have a test forum for innuendos beforey ou post them to decide if they are good or not?
Good idea! :)

Im 22 have been in the world of work for over a year now and although im doing exactly what i want to do, i am by no stretch of the imagination grown up and do not tend to be either. And as some of you are who are older than me and are refusing to grow up then im not going to either :)
Well said, Blondie! The secret of eternal youth is to refrain from growing up.

Blimey !

We'll be doing a revue of 'Songs of Praise' next !

Seeing as how my weekend at the coast has had to be cancelled and I will probably be spending the best part of Saturday and Sunday beside the footy pitch or near the dressing rooms, I better check if the uvver half has got any ear-plugs.

(Yes, even the girls know some pretty fruity language !)

Jude your point is well made. I have often wondered if some of the frequent posters who have dropped off the forum have chosen to do so for some of the reasons you have given.
However well we think we know each other the forum can never be the same as meeting face to face and the potential for being misunderstood or unknowingly giving offence is consequently increased.

Well as long as people make it known when they find things unacceptable then apologies can be made and behaviour altered

I think even the silliest people posting on here are reasonable enough to realise that this is a community where everyone deserves respect

I do hope that I've not upset anybody on the forum.

I tend to be fairly flippant much of the time and so have a tendency to be a bit facetious sometimes. I do try to punctuate such remarks with a :wink: to indicate that I'm speaking tongue in cheek.

I enjoy a bit of banter, for example cj and I have a bit of a running gag about my eyesight, or lack of it, since I mistook her elder daughter for her!

Anyway sincere apologies if anybody has been offended by any of my posts.

Okay, while everyone is on the subject. Should I cause offense or hurt, it will be unintentional so PLEASE send me a PM and then I can do my best to resolve any issues. There are times my sense of humour does not tally with the rest of the world but it is just meant in jest, honest injun!!!!
