I can't wait in fact.
powers that be are influenced by the feedback they gather
from forums like this, and hopefully things will change!
And anyway you cant give the forum up because you enjoy
it and we have got used to you!

The list of republics, by type, is a long and diverse one:

I know you dislike the royals, but I think some of them are hard working, so I like to be fair. It isn't their fault that they were born into a rich family & I am sure none of us would turn down payment of £100K if somebody offered it for a relatively small job, so why begrudge them?

I've always got along very well with you on here, Twink but on this occasion you were very misguided in what you said. Never judge a book by the cover, read a person first. And the only way you can do that is by knowing them in real life. It sounds like you're on here too much, not me. You need to regain touch with reality like all those who only post in the Games and Political threads. Understood?
Yes, Donkeyman, I've definitely had enough of these keyboard warriors and I don't need this pathetic tittle-tattle in the General thread anymore. I'll stick top the more serious forums thank you very much.

This isn't the first time you have misunderstood the point of my posts, but I don't get angry, I just put it down to you misunderstanding what I said. I never criticize members here, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with them.

I'm curtsying as I type.
