What the Hell have we come to ?.

[QUOTE=Lincoln 7;2234866 I have to have my blood taken every 6 months,……. After the arm has been swabbed, the Nurse says, “You will just feel a little scratch” Whatever happened to the phrase they used to say, ie, “You will feel a little prick!!”

How true!! I go every three months and you are right and I have just never noticed that subtle change in the gentle warning….:o

I like it the way it came across Baz, HOWEVER, as defined the word “Member” relating to a Penis, was very apt in this thread. I guess you don’t need me to spell it out to you. On the lighter side, I have to have my blood taken every 6 months, and one thing makes me wonder, ARE NURSES Telepathic?. Tell you why.. After the arm has been swabbed, the Nurse says, “You will just feel a little scratch” Whatever happened to the phrase they used to say, ie, “You will feel a little prick!!” How ever did they know, that I was about to scratch the Itch, down below..:D
What do they say to a woman who is about to have the same done, ” Right dear, you will just feel a little vagina”?. I dunno, it’s P.C. that has taken the humour out of many things these days.Keep smiling …….:D

I can be overly subtle sometimes CH ; ) – and it is a little used word meaning these days I suppose !
But I had to use inverted commas for the 2nd meaning otherwise I would not have got the joke myself LOL

You see baz if you had omitted the word valued and simply written the word member both without and with inverted commas your cheeky insinuation might have worked. As it was none of us got the joke. Sorry!;)

Been away for the weekend and thought I had better defuse/explain any misunderstanding caused by the overreaction of our resident european drama queen – my original comment about being a valued member was just a general comment – because there are some posters on the forum as a whole (ie not just this one) who tend towards either aggressive and or condescending posts – personally I do not like being talked down to by anybody,I would not dream of making condescending posts on here.
However I do not suffer fools gladly and I will ‘take the pee’ with arrogant posters.

The cambridge dictionary definition of a member…

member – noun [C] (PERSON)

A2 a person who joins a group to take part in a particular activity:

member – noun [C] (BODY PART)

› formal – a penis:
the male member

As I posted – one can be a member on the forum – or a ‘member’ on the forum 😀

If there is a wink after any comment I am not being very serious ; )

rgds baz

I think he is still in it John, so we may have to wait a few years before we find the answer to your question……:highly_amused:

I’m happy to be just a member if Charlie ****, John Green and Lincoln are considered valued members.

I’m valued; very valued – for my absence.

Meddle,

This is not meant to be impertinent; did you have a happy childhood ?

Hi Geoff, Nicely put. The first laugh of the day, but sadly for some it dont apply, as you stated.

I am no more valued than any other Forumite on here, it just so happens that others respect me, for being “Just me” No more, no less. But I am honoured to be as well thought of, even more so as regards this Post.It has shown me that there are folks out there that care.Are you able to say that?.

Hi All,
Jim May the Force be with you! I think this below applies to those who are with the dark side in this thread…..:D

Geoff.

I have no idea what sort of member I am not realising that we were categorised. I along with you and the others you mentioned and others unnamed am a simply a regular contributor and whether I post or not always have a good read of what’s going on here and in Historic and infrequently the other Fora as well.

The thought of members being deemed valued or otherwise in their own right seems faintly ridiculous, although I do accept the value many members bring to the Forum because of their specialised knowledge and experience in a particular field.

meddle
at some stage you might want to consider whether you want to be a valued member of key forums or just a ‘member’ on the forums,i have seen em come and go on here in the last 10 years ; )

Right… Ok. How strange your thought process is.

Not mine sadly, I simply lifted it from another site post, but you get the drift.

😉

Can I get it on i player!:D
