Go and be mad at someone else, Odie. I don't react nicely to bullying, I never did. I tolerate it from newbies because they don't know better. You're not a newbie any longer.

The title may or may not have been a joke everyone was in on - I took it more as a so-what challenge to the moderators in response to the previous swathe of account suspensions. My sole support for that viewpoint is oscar's subsequent dismissive hectoring behaviour ignoring all requests for courtesy, it seems pretty self-evident from the way she acted up that the foundation for my assumption is valid.

Please excuse me for putting my 2 cents in your thread Odie. I'll erase it if you wish.
I think what is not understood is that you and Oscar were great friends and then had a falling out. When you both returned back to FG you and Oscar settled your difference and became friends again.
I do believe that the title of your thread means that you and Oscar are back as friends again, and by saying you're bad is kinda a term that means we're bad because we're going to party and have fun now that we're friends again.
I know that in the States, this saying "I'm back and I'm bad" means that things in my life are better now..so life is good.
This thread was meant as a friendship one with Oscar, not as a slight to the mods....Is this right Odie?

Hey Ducks,
Yes, one of the mods posted that they had a 2 week suspension from Aug 18th in one of the threads..forgot which one. So, you're right..they'll be back on the 31st:-6

And I agree with you on the title "we're back & we're bad" can give a whole different meaning to someone else. I also winced at the title originally & I was out of the country when that thread went up. I saw it when I was in Ireland originally but never commented on it when I was over there....if you remember I was also suspended at the same time which didn't really matter as I was on holidays.

Even the acronym LOL here in the States originally meant just a hearty laugh at something funny. But that was before "smilies" were commonplace. That still means the same to me now...just a big laugh. I didn't know that others thought of it differently.
I think that there will always be misunderstandings between different cultures due to how one interprets others' words, phrases or tone of voice. That's why I try to be careful now when I read something questionable because I'm not sure of the true meaning of the post.
Geeze, when I first visited Ireland and England I was always using the phrases.....Can I have a ride...(meaning a lift into town) and I was shagging all night (meaning dancing to the music). Imagine how horrified I was when I found out what the phrases meant in the UK and Ireland
p:D

Oh I forgot about that one. When I returned home from Ireland I asked someone sitting next to me in the restaurant....someone I knew...if I could bum a fag....Well....I was in deep do do with person as he thought I meant something else:yh_rotfl
The next night we went to the same restaurant and this person was sitting next to me again. I offered him an Irish fag.....A Carrols fag and the cop sitting near us thought we were smoking pot as Carrols has a sweet odor.
He walked over to me and quietly said...Kathy...put that out now because you are my friend, and I don't want to arrest you for smoking pot.
Till this day I don't think he believes me that it really was not a "funny cigarette" which is what some Yanks call pot.
Ahhh, good, funny memories:D

Till this day I don't think he believes me that it really was not a "funny cigarette" which is what some Yanks call pot.
Ahhh, good, funny memories:D
Now that is funny:wah:. I finally had to ask the Foc's what tea at 5pm meant as they were talking like it was dinner...it's their dinner they just call it tea.:-5
The next night we went to the same restaurant and this person was sitting next to me again. I offered him an Irish fag.....A Carrols fag and the cop sitting near us thought we were smoking pot as Carrols has a sweet odor.
He walked over to me and quietly said...Kathy...put that out now because you are my friend, and I don't want to arrest you for smoking pot.

"the answer to all these questions was quite straightforward. Jim and his dad were working class. And members of the working class at that time thought it completely natural to eat five o'clock in the afternoon. But even more, as members of the working class they took it for granted that everyone else ate at that time and would happily regard egg and chips and tea as the perfect meal for the occasion." [...] "my mother made it very clear that I wasn't to talk about eating "tea" at 5pm (it was "dinner", not "tea") outside of the house", etc.

Most of my family members eat between 5 and 7 PM. Everyone is starving by then after a full day's work and need some energy. If I eat any later than 7 PM....I suffer later on for it.

What I said I did was quote the previous post, I didn't say I thought it was accurate. By my calculation it's not, the account suspension expires on Tuesday. It's a simple enough sum.
Still, if you know when she was returning of course then that's fine too.

I think what is not understood is that you and Oscar were great friends and then had a falling out. When you both returned back to FG you and Oscar settled your difference and became friends again.
I do believe that the title of your thread means that you and Oscar are back as friends again, and by saying you're bad is kinda a term that means we're bad because we're going to party and have fun now that we're friends again.
I know that in the States, this saying "I'm back and I'm bad" means that things in my life are better now..so life is good.
This thread was meant as a friendship one with Oscar, not as a slight to the mods....Is this right Odie?

Oh Ducky,
We usually order a bunch of appetizers and share. We love the crabmelt, nachos, quesadillas, potato wedges and coconut shrimp.
For dinner I love the old stand-bys......thin-crusted pizza or pork roll and cheese with old bay fries, and a side order of caesar salad.
They make fabulous wraps...My new favorite is bbq'd chicken with caesar salad, sundried tommos, goat cheese and black olives.
My family loves to order their mussels, crab cakes, garlic shrimp and tilapia dinners.

I read their menu...I thought it was Klees restaurant & bar....:wah:..duh on my end until I read the shirt Klees bar & grill! Bingo, menu came right up & in my face:wah:...yup regular bar grub...prices are not bad, same as here. Mmmm, mussels in red sauce.
Omg, went meat shopping this am...filet mignon (I know your not big on meat) but for 6.99/lb...ended up with 12 1" steaks...had them for dinner:-4 just outside of medium rare on the grill. I'm going back tomorrow to get another order...they were delish.:-4
Tilapia is the most boring fish unless it's got some kind of marinade or they dress it up with something...it always needs something. John likes it but says it's the dullest fish he's ever eaten if its not dressed up with something:wah:.
