I must apologize
 

Yesterday groove started a thread which included the name of a man which when spoken was rather crude.
I added to the thread with a post that also contained the name of a bus driver mate of mine which also sounded vulgar when spoken quickly and also mentioned the lady who shouted his name in innocence.

I am a 73 year old gentleman who has seen lot of life around the world and having been a serving soldier I can also use the old barrack room language and humour.
I now realize that what I posted was not suitable for an open forum where young children and women could see it and maybe take offence. That was not only unforgivable but on my part totally out of character.
I went back onto the forum later but could not find the thread to delete my post so I am hoping the moderator has deleted the whole thread.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize most sincerely for any offence I might have caused to anyone and will make sure I don't repeat it.
To all the people who sent their good wishes and offers of help when I nearly lost my wife through heart failure I hope you don't think any less of me.

Thank you,

I didn't see the thread either Gremlin, but I endorse what BG has said
Hope you and your good lady are keep well

Re: I must apologize
 

I don't think any less of you.

Each and everyone of us does things, we sometimes later regret.

I think more of you, for posting such a sincere, and heartfelt apology.

Even if there's really no need for you to have done it.

I'm sure anything silly that was posted is now forgotten, so don't worry about it.

Onwards, and upwards.

I'm glad your good lady wife's now ok too.

:)

I missed it also,sod it Gremlin, fer me whatever it was shouldn't provoke n apology, that particular member would make the pope swear.;) hope yer missus is on the mend.

Re: I must apologize
 

We all post things we later regret. In my case, it tends to be when I return home from a convivial evening at the local. Things seem so much clearer then!

Re: I must apologize
 

Whatever it was that you posted, don't worry about it, i've got one of the biggest gobs on here and i always say what i mean, sod it, if people don't like it then they don't need to read it :)

Re: I must apologize
 

Gremlin, you are a gentleman, I am sure no one will think badly of you. I certainly don't.
Your post was in response to a ridiculous post by groove, looking for a non-existent school friend with a name which he thought was funny, but was just juvenile...the kind of things that even 12 year old boys have grown out of.
If the thread has been deleted then I am glad...it wasn't the least bit funny.

Re: I must apologize
 

Your not like the nasty gremlins that lurk under my stairs, how very refreshing what a gent, well done fella!!!

Re: I must apologize
 

The only problem with the thread was that it was in the wrong section and as the member who started the thread is now allowed in the over 18's section I deleted the thread. I found the whole thread amusing, including your additions but it was not appropriate for the section it was in.

Re: I must apologize
 

ach, Neil, I thought better of you than that! :D

Re: I must apologize
 

Groove was unaware he was allowed on the over 18's section so will use this when appropiate..thanks mods, soz for any offence to other members..regards G

Re: I must apologize
 

You can only be admitted to the over 18's section once one of the mods has met you in person and is happy that you are who you say you are.

Re: I must apologize
 

OMG Neil! You've met Groove!

That must have been a harrowing experiance. You have my deepest sympathies.

Re: I must apologize
 

^^ Neil. When you met Groove, did he appear in the third person?

The apology shows that you're a gent Gremlin. Reading it, nobody could think anything the contrary.

I have to admit to occasionally holding back from typing things on here. Certain vulgarities and sarcasm that I know I can share with friends in jest, but which might not be taken as intended by others. Like Gynn mentioned - getting back from the pub and responding to posts is dangerous territory.
