Honestly, some people are just sick....

I was about to respond to Don's terrible and insensitive comments but it looks like the Mods have closed it. Don you should be ashamed of yourself.

Re: Goodbye Skippys

Yes, I asked them to close it as it was too upsetting.

Ah well, takes all sorts I guess, just glad I've found lots of caring people on this forum who've made it easier to deal with.

Anyway, back to the subject, it is kind of strange that here in the UK we're quick to celebrate St Patricks day and not St George's. In fact I have trouble remembering when St G's day is yet St P's is pretty easy to remember.

Very odd.................

I think we celebrated the Queens Birthday when I lived in Hong Kong, maybe a throw back from the Colonial days.

Re: Goodbye Skippys

Can I just ask why it is that people who say they are "leaving the forum" always feel the need to start a new thread expressing their desire to leave.

Why can't you just leave already?

And shut up about it while you're doing it.

Sorry. I'm not in Australia, so I'll butt out now.

Re: Goodbye Skippys

Well they are keeping me amused! Which is what I need at present, as I have a boss having a Grumpy Bear Day, and a totally insane HR Dept which has just issued a form for all staff to fill in for the new staff directory.
I mean, what sort of Govt Dept issues a Directory listing the following details about their staff.......

Favourite Fictional Character
Favourite Song
Favourite Movie
and Real Life Hero

.....I begin to wonder whether I am working in a nuthouse!
