OT Family and Friends at the Christmas Dinner
Will all of your family and friends be there?
We have 15 round our table for the Christmas Dinner, but 16 places will be laid. Nobody will sit there. That place is for the 'absent Family Member or Friend' All of my children, their husbands or wives, my Grandson who is in the Royal Marine Band Service will be there. But I have friends who cannot be there. My family who will be there, have people who cannot be there, for example my daughter in law's father who passed away this year, one of the Olympic Torch carriers this year. A friend who lost his wife, a great friend of ours this year, and who will be spending his Christmas with his remaining son. Remaining? He lost his other son to Cancer and his wife never recovered. And everybody will have someone to remember. Morbid? Downbeat? Wrong time of the year to do this sort of thing? I don't think so, but then I think of others Have a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year Mike --------------------------------------------------------------- www.hmscollingwoodassociation.com www.rneba.org.uk |

Naw, we all gotta go, it's one of the very few certainties of life FFS. Circumstances of one inevitable departure might not be what one wishes but the is SFA you can do about it. Those left behind should celebrate the life that has been. I'm leaving a few hundred quid to each close family member so they have no (financial) reason not to come to my funeral party and raise a glass. -- Cheers Dave. |

Yet again his ego takes precedence. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I am only copying one of the good things in life, thinking of others. But that is my way of life. http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/News-and...ary-of-bombing Never mind, you carry on taking swipes at me if it makes you happy. It's good for a laugh amongst my friends. I will wish you and your family a vey Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

To be even franker, many of your posts seem to indicate that you lack in-depth knowledge of your subjects as they have little substance and appear to be merely a means of exercising your egotism - along with the "I'm the boss mentality giving the impression that you'll bloody well listen to me or I'll killfile you etc". Methinks your comments on Mr Crowe appear to be a touch of the kettle calling the saucepan black! Have a nice Christmas and may the new year be kinder to your obviously ageing temperament. |

As one very infrequent contributor to another, I will agree with you that Sacha was probably unwise to make that response to Mike, and I suspect that she now regrets it. You should however bear in mind that she, like some others on this newsgroup, has suffered many years of insult and taunting by him and thus may perhaps be forgiven for a momentary loss of patience. I do not however understand your suggestion that Sacha has a lack of in-depth knowledge, such her detailed advice has benefitted many, many people on this newsgroup. That comment could I am sure be refuted by the overwhelming majority of the group. As to your very last sentence, it appears that you yourself are not in any position to comment on other posters' manners. -- RG |

You owe Sacha an apology for being so intolerably rude. To my knowledge, Sacha has never sworn at another Urgler. She is more knowledgeable than you give her credit for and is open when she doesn't know something, or expresses a comment as her opinion so we understand her position. Sacha and others like her continue to underpin and enthusiastically drive urg when it slows down or seems to suffer from 'cabin fever' irritation. To suggest that this is "bossing" is both ridiculous and insulting. We are lucky to have her. To finish by dressing an insult in a Christmas wish is underhand and beneath you. Christian it certainly isn't. I truly hope you and everyone on Urg has a lovely Christmas and come back refreshed and ready for another gardening year. -- Spider.

But I think I know who is behind that anonymous piece of cowardice and if I'm right, I'm not even faintly surprised! When (s)he contributes some real knowledge and information to urg in that fake name, the comments about my shortcomings and indeed, those of anyone else, might gain some credence. At present, it's just a case of another opportunist. And yes, indeed, having had years and years of Crowe's boasts and taunts, I will freely admit to being disgusted by that self-aggrandising post of his. Both my children and step-children have lost one parent from premature deaths. I have lost several dearly loved friends who died too young and too soon for a variety of reasons. I have never mentioned that here as a means of garnering sympathy or attention at Christmas or any other time. None of us is immune to the cruelties of ife and the many ways in which it manifests itself. The man's behaviour is disgraceful and as always, directed towards himself. To boast of how he is a nice person who thinks of others is simply ridiciulous. It made me sick. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
