Guess, I'll just have to accept you people are on a different planet to me then. I've no chance against the wolf pack anyway

You know I luvs ya, DA, but I agree - nothing wrong with Gavilan's responses at all. You need to come to Spain and chill

[Devils Advocate]

Hey, thanks Irene..........Even the Mrs only admits to liking me

Should be over with you in the next few weeks now the dust has settled..........what are the flies like this year?

I've been stuck on "tollerates" for 5 years

I never know how to respond to 'flack' and accusations of being arrogant etc. Part of me is shocked as I don't ever see/think myself like that and it makes me wonder how I sound/come across on this forum. So I want to apologise ... it was not my intention to sound superior or anything like that. But that approach then leaves me open to being accused of seeking sympathy and support. The other part of me says 'walk away, leave it alone' ... but then I feel I am being cowardly and just running away. Dunno what to do or say!

[Chunky Monky]

Gavilan,

Don't let stupid people persecute you, you did nothing wrong. If you come over as being a bit sensitive, idiots and trolls will home in on that.

Your persecutor has been a complete TWA.T today, ignore him, he's really let himself down as far as I'm concerned - if he has any decency he will publicly apologize for his boorish behaviour.

I thought I'd get more of a flaming from the night shift than that, result

Your persecutor has been a complete TWA.T today, ignore him

I don't mind being called a tw@t but less of the "ignore him" eh.

Gavilan, no need to apologise for anything. Do me a favour though after all this, try the fan idea tonight, disturb the air for the flies a little. If it doesn't work report back, and I will face the public humiliation associated with the failure

[Enrique]

Hi,
Fan idea has to work..........

Currently have natures "fan" in the form of 45kph wind ........not a fly to to seen

[gavilan]

I will try the fan idea ... and am less resistant to that since realising it could be a ceiling fan (as in films like 'African Queen'!) but I will also but separately try a bunch of herbs ... have to admit the 2 pots of mint have failed to date.

[Enrique]

Hi gavilan,
Ceiling fans work a treat too, have two, no A/C here.
You may have to hunt around for ones as in films like "African Queen"
Modern ones tend to run faster even on slowest settings.

Yes, notice how lots of posters who never have much to say want to join in if there is a spat/disagreement with "Ditto, snap, hear hear" really helpful stuff

I suspect some of the posters who 'never have much to say' are quiet because they've run foul of some of the more acerbic posters here! If the cap fits..........

[Free at Last]

And others may prefer to follow the maxim of keeping quiet if they haven't got anything worthwhile to say. If all forum members did the same the post count of some of them might not be quite so astronomical.

Hear, hear! What she said!

[IreneD]

I'm beginning to notice a cliquey element to this forum

They aren't shy at butting in on a spat though

My post count is high because I spent thousands on answering Julian and a few others who smelt blood. Also I am not on every spanish forum going like some seem to be!
