If you actually read what I wrote rather than fishing around for a cheap bit of point scoring I didn't mention Latin or his intellect, I actually commented on people who were only impressed by his ability to put down rather worrying themselves about his ability to improve matters. I don't think there is anything wrong with having an education but it's a shame when it is used to belittle. My remark was aimed at people who are more interested in put down than help up so I shouldn't be surprised that you commented.

See, there you go again with the self righteous double standards!

 

AT being the broad church that it is, we will ALL come across something that isn’t to our own personal taste. 

 

The glaringly obvious solution of course is to simply scroll on by (I like that ?) rather than stop and make a negative contribution....

 

Whereas I will readily make what might be perceived as a negative contribution (or to put it another way - express an alternative opinion) what I don’t do, and where we seem to differ, is that I don’t get a hairy shirt on when somebody DOES express or hold an alternative view. 

 

Stop being such a blouse.

'Dear Deirdre,

       I'm desperate to get a boy at school to speak to me but he ignores me most of the time. I've tried provoking him by having a go at his values and posting in pretty colours but he still rarely responds. How can I get him to notice me?

 

Yours,

    Kevin.'

 

Deirdre replies; 'Perhaps he has no interest in talking to you. Try writing to somebody else who has time on their hands to reply, like your special friend Tommy Two-Names'.

Actually David , after reading his life story , most of his more foul behaviour happened after he lost his wife - I think it broke his mind. K

Dear Soppy pants,

 

We both know we disagree which is why, for several years, I have tended to ignore the vast majority of your desperately dull, self indulgent, self righteous, hypocritical socialist ramblings. 

 

On the rare occasion that you present something remotely funny or interesting, I’m perfectly content to recognise these glimpses of humour or relevance by the application of an emoji or a written response. 

 

Equally, where you seek to counter or contradict a comment I may have made - presumably because it offends your obviously delicate Lefty disposition - rather than just scrolling on by, please don’t be surprised or offended if it attracts a response. 

 

Pledging my enduring devotion....

 

Bite me X

Obviously....

'Dear Deirdre,

      Help! I'm getting obsessed. Why won't everybody agree with me all the time?

Yours,

   Kevin.'

'Dear Kevin,

   Get a fucking life.

Love,

  Deirdre.'

Dear Soppy pants, whilst it is our policy at The Sun to empathise with all ‘types’, you appear to present symptoms which might be better suited to the ‘special’ skills of the resident agony “aunt” at a more specialised publication such as The Socialist Worker.

 

We have previously referred some of the more ‘challenging’ cases to Brian, the gender fluid, recently arrived in the UK, disabled, person of colour who serves such a role at that publication since ‘she’ possesses the particular skills to advise your ‘type’ more suitably (notwithstanding, Brian doesn’t have much English language - but does seem to communicate through touch and telepathy)

 

Deidre thinks:

 

What’s wrong with this geezer? This is the bloody current bun. There are no JC sympathies here!

 

Get him sat on Brian’s knee for a bit of Jimmy Saville, that’ll sort him out...

 

That bloke he keeps blathering about sounds pretty sexy though, wonder if I could get him in the office for a quick knee trembler?

 

Deirdre goes for lunch daydreaming of this sexy beast.....
