Ever since I have been on this forum, it seems everyone is after the Brits. Why is that? When I was a senior in prep high school, we had a exchange program, and I thought they were very humble and lovely people. It is like all other places, you have the good, bad, and down-right ugly!

Well, I am sorry to burst your, um, bubble Dawn, but I am not the same person. Yet, I have seen the accuser be the one who was actually the perpetrator. LOL. So correct Barbie. It is so sad to see such mundane and thick-headed people on a forum. But, life moves forward.

LOL. That's not the jest of what I have been getting at. Seems that Tina is, but I don't think she is. I think people just want to cause drama to cry to their momma (had to rhyme there lol).

I may be wrong but I think Dawn Bev was referring to the 'other thread'.

Not you or Pothead.

I am supposed to be a whole host of people too [Roll Eyes] according to someone.
Chimps being only one I have been accused of being so NO.....Tina is not Chimps.

How can we both be Chimps!

Oh unless I am Tina too..........hmmmm another one to add to my growing list of usernames, the latest this month according to her is Strangeways and Undercover.

Hysterical [Big Grin]

and agree with you here.

'I have seen the accuser be the one who was actually the perpetrator.'

^^^^^^ so very true [Wink]

Good advice from Smuckers Tina [Wink]

I don't think either Tina or this Davies fellow is Chimps. But, there's something coincidental about it....

No problem Dawn

That is what her aim is to accuse folk of being trolls.
Its quite sick really and best thing we figured is to ignore her.

It goes back years and if we talk about LATELY I have been accused by her of being Undercover, Strangeways and Chimps. These are the latest. You need to go back further on her to read who else she claims I was.

Now for anyone with just an ounce of sense would surely realise that I am neither of these people.

In fact someone told me that I was actually in their house when one of them posted which proved the point!! [Roll Eyes]

You will also notice one of her friends who just this week has named me by my own NAME on 2 posts........eternally boring YAWN.... [Roll Eyes]

I have had no dealings whatsoever with this one in a long time. I avoid her at length, ignore yet this person seems obsessed, to the point of mentioning my name, out of the blue in 2 threads I was not even on!! now how weird is that [Confused]

As usual I just ignore it. What else can you do with nutters?

Most of my posts are related to Egypt, most are in response to a request, most are about something I discovered about Egypt, some like this where I am defending people who like me are under attack for no apparent reason.


It should surely now become apparent who the troublemakers are. It doesnt take Einstein to work out who's posts are the accusing, argumentative, taunting, stalking,predatory ones.

Yes members may have opinions on people but to stalk and chase on all of their posts is quite another thing. This is stalking, no other word for it.

Tina is not Chimps, neither am I.

Did anyone ever call Tina's number to check?

NOPE!! why, because they all go along with what the stalker and friends want to YOU to believe.
Simple as that.
It would all be solved with a quick phone call but that would spoil the fun and they would have to move onto someone else eh.

As the guy above said the accuser is usually the perpretator.

Their aim is to confuse, thats part of their game.

You know you're British when...


You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday is also entirely reasonable.

After a big night out you find yourself looking for a curry house.

Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week.

You're always half an hour late to work and no one notices or even cares.

You can actually give directions to tourists on Oxford Street!

You step over a drunk on the underground rather than offering to help them.

You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the weather is like. You know it is grey and overcast.

You consider a suit to be normal attire for the pub.

You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear decent clothes and moisturize daily.

You collapse with laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!).

You think £40 for a haircut is quite reasonable.

You can't remember what 'customer service' means.

More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive.

You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser.

You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'.

You only realise you have lost your sun glasses when you remember you left them in Greece 2 summers ago.

You like English cooking. After all, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast.

You are on to your 6th umbrella and your second overcoat... this year.

You buy disposable baby BBQs from Tesco.

A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head.

You always call soccer "football" and you support a team that's not Manchester United.

You don't think twice about buying a sandwich wrapped in cellophane.

A sunny lunchtime means searching for a patch of grass and stripping off practically down to your underwear.

You've accepted queuing as a way of life. In fact you're proud of how good you are at it.


Please continue to add..... [Big Grin]

You know your American when...


you don't let your children smoke but their bf/gf lives with you

you know what's best for everyone else kids

Your kids cuss at you and don't get smacked

You aren't talking to your mom/dad right now...

you're thirty and your parents still support you

You think alcohol is ok as long as the kids drink it at home

you pay for your daughters birth control

You consider having to mow your lawn government harassment

you think you got a speeding ticket because you're (choose one) white /black Hispanic/female/driving a nice car/driving a crappy car/old /younger the policeman has a quota

You would rather spend 30 minutes looking for a closer parking space than 3 minutes walking

You wish all these foreigners living in other countries would just learn to speak english right. . . especially those darn British and Australians who think they already are

You watch more then 5 hours of TV a day and the last book you read was in college.

The location of any country but your own is a complete mystery to you.

You think Iraq attacked America on September 11th.

You drive around looking for the closest parking space...at the gym!

...Your cell phone could be mistaken for life support.

Your SUV has a "My child is a blah blah blah" bumpersticker on it.

You don't believe in God but celebrate Christmas anyway.

You care about celebrity gossip.

You don't know who your neighbors are and you couldn't care less.

You believe everything you hear on Fox News.

You line up 5 days in advance to pay $600 for a video game system.

You line up at 3am on “Black Friday” so that you can take advantage of the sales on the day after Thanksgiving. Americans spent nearly $9 billion on November 24, which is a 6% increase since 2005. (By the way, Americans spent more money on one day than what the 10 poorest countries produce cumulatively in one year)

Your police officers are re-deployed on Black Friday to handle the traffic (and the fights) of people “bargain” hunting. (Pray that no crimes are committed in your neighborhood on Black Friday and/or you don’t need to call 9-1-1)
