Not comparable at all. I think you'll find the comparison point was 'charitable organisation that has a curious dislike for external oversight'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that all organisations, charitable or otherwise? The correct answer is Yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All organisations resent and bitterly resist any external oversight of what they're doing? The correct answer to that is actually 'No, not even remotely'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve shown myself up as I was sure the phrase was ‘bare with me’ rather than ‘bear with me’. Just checked and I was wrong.

How many times have you thought of someone and out of the blue you hear from them or meet them. Or seen a word you have never come across before and the next day the same word crops up. Weird shit happens. Was watching an episode of Parks & Rec last night while opening packets of stickers. At the very second Leslie Knope said the word 'Denmark', I found the Denmark shiny. Shut up, my life is awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s time you relax a bit and let it go. As you know, the issue wasn't calling me a Bumpkin. It was saying I had no right to argue with someone on the basis that his job meant I was relatively clueless. When it was pointed out that I had the same job and that I was in fact right about the matter in question, rather than do the decent thing,as indeed the third party in this did, you continued with the insults with no hint of apology for the error. In calling you a dick, I'm not doing your thing of basing it upon where you're from. I'm basing it on what you're like. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologise, you were correct in that instance. Please now stop following me round the forum looking for this same argument. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around Christmas as we headed towards another lockdown, which is why the subject of schools came up again. It's not difficult. It does stand out a bit though, because for all there's lots of back and forth on here, it's actually unusual in my experience, for someone to behave like quite such a dick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
