    Would you like a hug? I feel like you need to be gathered up in a Persepoly Big Hug. I also make a great cup of tea. Barry's leaves in an old style pot. Bit of maderia cake too.

    That's deadly, It's like getting beaten up by auntie while she smiles and hugs you at the same time....:D:D

    A little too caustic for my own good, you deserve better. I'm long overdue a breather from boards. Bigger issues outside starting to seep into most recent posts. Return with a more tranquil stance, and embrace the irreverent ethos of AH. Peace out.

    Don't be so hard on yourself

    that's our job....

    Ah here, if there is tea and cake going, sort me out.

    No it would be a genuine "hope all is ok" hug. I think I can relate to Bertie. I think. There are a few posters here who I sometimes find nauseating. If I'm going through a rough time my inner 'dark' side is tempted to come out and be harsh in my interactions with them. Like I don't give a fùck about your super happy life. I'm screaming inside and you're shìting on about flowers or love or clouds. G'way.

    Why don't people do the same and ignore Berties Horse if he bothers THEM so much. The ganging up is sh1tty, especially when some of you are bound to know that his dad is terminally ill as it came up on a relevant thread recently.

    It makes the concern about being compassionate to others e.g. travellers, from two posters in particular look especially hollow. Disingenuous, gaslighting rubbish.

    Fair play on your acknowledgment. I somehow doubt it will be reciprocated. All the best.

    I had a PM ready to go to Bertie actually. It wouldn't send but I too wish him all the best.

    I remember the mod HotLips or something years ago. Would come on, especially at night, and close nearly every thread :pac:

    You look after yourself, B. Apologies for my “causticness” as well, goes to show none of us are immune to it.
    I’d say Emmet would be first in line with his chinos around his ankles.

    No chance, J. None.

    Dunno if you saw but I’ve had a little “difficulty” very recently so wouldn’t fancy taking a whack any time soon.

    If one person accuses ten other people of being the same person, it's not "ganging up" when they all respond in turn to either refute or take the piss out of that claim.

    Take care, Bertie.

    There are some things that you shouldn't joke about.

    And the prospect of that poster returning is one of them.

    I couldn't get my head around her at all, but in the end I felt some compassion for whatever it was that had her so hostile. Not an easy way to live or to be.

    I think she just took on male for and became Woke Hogan.

    Saying I have 4, 5, 6 accounts doesn’t make it true, dude.

    I have two accounts - JohnnyFlash, that lovable rogue, and end of the road, my elaborate troll account.

    So what's your real view in travellers?

    :D

    If this Forum has lacked anything in recent years, it was originality and humour. Some of us are fed-up with staid, middle-aged anxiety towards how the world
    Frankly, some of the people involved in thanking the above post are some of the least-craic on this website. We should be glad, in an age of Twitter and Instagram, that anyone is still making an effort on this website - and enjoy it. Don't be so bloody miserable all the time, hmm?

    Funny enough the guy you are responding to, Oakmackeral, is responsible for some of the best and funniest threads in AH in years.

    The scat thread - not so much.

    When will you take on a male form, Paddy?

    Thread has jumped the shark.

    I didn't know that about Bertie's dad. I'm surprised you actually think any of us would knowingly take the piss if we knew someone was going through something so life-shattering. Despite all the disagreements we (everyone) has here I can't think of a single poster i would say has no empathy in them.

    We just had a nice moment, and in fact, Bertie I'm more comfortable when you're being a bollix than being nice, so don't feel the need to stop. None of us are wallflowers.

    Well I can. Of course they have pretend empathy in them when it suits (in order to get one up on people).

    You might need to take a break yourself. You're coming across very paranoid.

    Exactly the type of gaslighting that I'm talking about.
