A search of the forum members’ list does not reveal a member named Fruit Conserve Sandwich so it is patently obvious that you are addressing an imaginary person. Shame that but it does confirm your location of “The edge of reality”. Anyone who addresses an imaginary person has to have stepped over the edge.

Which would explain the descent into puerile name calling and the lack of understanding what is a royal wave and what is not.

A royal wave is one where the BACK OF THE HAND is towards the people being waved to.

A normal greetings wave is one where the PALM OF THE HAND is towards the person being waved to. Showing the palm of the hand indicates that there is no weapon in the hand and thus a friendly wave.

So that shoots down in flames yet another attempt at trying, and failing, to be smart.

That must be the nearest you have ever come to admitting you can be wrong. Please don't be so hard on yourself in future, it is only a small step so far, but with a little more therapy you might even be seen to agree with someone publicly.

Don't bother to report this post, I'll save you a job and report it myself!

P.S. I for one don't find your avator annoying, self centred yes, but annoying never.

You forgot something.

You forgot that once a post has been made an email goes out to all who subscribe to that thread with the content of your post.

Or maybe you didn’t forget and this is just a childish way of ingratiating yourself with the anti jambutty members to show how brave you are to break the forum rules and slag me off.

I am real, God isn’t.

Therefore I cannot possibly think of myself as God.

If that’s the best that you can do in jumping on the slag off jambutty bandwagon, then you needn’t have bothered.

The avatar which annoys me is Rindy's "fat person" avatar.

[ossylass]

That "fat person", Bee, was the first woman to represent Liverpool in Parliament. You should pay more attention in history lessons!

She was a good person Bee.

A hero to many.

Me included.

'Battling Bessie'

To the working class of Liverpool she was “our Bessie”, but to the media she was “Battling Bessie”. Throughout her life, Elizabeth Braddock campaigned tirelessly, and without restraint, to improve conditions for her home city’s under-privileged. Yet, it is not her work for mental health reforms, the barrow girls or prison conditions for which she is most famously remembered; instead it is her larger-than-life political tactics and frequent clashes with the press.

Bessie used extraordinary tactics to draw attention to causes which she felt passionately about, yet her unconventional methods were used against her by her critics and political opponents. Her legend as fiery female MP, not afraid to use air-rifles and megaphones to get her point across, both helped and hindered her in her work to improve the lot of the working-class.

Bessie’s fearless stance in the face of tradition, etiquette and chauvinism made her a dangerous and unpredictable political opponent. Her critics and opposition were forced to use her physical appearance and unconventional tactics to undermine her.

Besides, it's a good photograph.

A threatening, raised fist, and a wry smile.

Good concept.

Bessie was one of a dying breed- a socialist.
