Beekay 5,094 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just now, Tompa said: Laugh out Loud. What's the point in putting lol ?? No-one can see if your laughing or not. It would be easier to answer with something like, " laugh, I nearly wet myself !!" That way readers will know you enjoyed something. But maybe I'm being a bit naïve.

Don't know what FB means or to 'inbox' me. Told you I was a bit dim. I've noticed in my short time on here that a number of contributors use initials, but to me it's almost shorthand.

We all had differing opinions which is good as the outcome to this will affect us all, we come across things that we disagree with all the time and can at times have lively discussions but that's life. The snowflakes rule Gem, if a snowflake lost a friend or relative to a terrorist attack the snowflakes would soon change their tune. A terrorist is a terrorist in any language, Jamima Begum chose to join a terrorist organisation, although she now states she never actively took part in any terrorist activity, then her prove that. A friend of mine lost his son to a terrorist attack in Afghanistan while serving in the British army, some things families never get over, ask these people what their thoughts are regarding Miss Begum. So much for cultural enrichment, it never worked & never will when there are such diverse communities trying to live side by side, never mind what the snowflakes tell you. I think Ayupmiducks was correct by hiding certain posts, sadly the world these days has thought police around every corner. Freedom of speech as we used to know is sadly disappearing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 LOL was around years before FB was ever thought of, probably came from cell phone texting abbreviations. I recall LOL was being used on the Friends Reunited site some 16 years back, the place where this site sprang from. One of our late early members was the one who invited me here, she sadly passed on a few years ago, and is still missed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 So ISIS bride Shamima Begum will be allowed to return to the UK to appeal her loss of citizenship, she committed treason which should be still punishable by death, a slap in the face to every true Brit. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 If you go to fight against your own country then you deserve to have everything stripped away from you & that means your rights to be British. NB. Some shocking examples in this tread of quoting the previous post, please do not quote me, it’s above for all to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
