Yes, it is a fern and you've managed to capture all the detail perfectly.
I've put the important bit in bold. I really can't see how that is implying that's what we call Ferns. And _even if_ she didn't have the second sentence I highly doubt any sane person would think she was being serious.

From now on we are introducing a block system. If anyone does not want somebody else posting in their threads or replying to their posts they can PM me the name of the user and I'll PM the other person to let them know they have to ignore the other persons posts - that will work both ways so if you want someone blocked you have to ignore their posts too. This is a temporary measure until we get a proper block option built into the software.

I dont agree with you Azz ........... For me the " important part " was the bit that I have highlighted in Bold and Underllined . ...Mags is saying it`s a Fern after she has said to Bob that over here we call in a Thingymebob .
I think it`s sad reflection on you that you have to question someone`s sanity over this !


I wont be PM`ing you to have anyone put on block .......... I`m far too mature and grown- up for that kind of behaviour ........... Let em all say what they want to whomever they want ..........

In that case all I can think of is you were purposely being difficult (/a pita).

I'll repeat, I doubt any sane person would think Mags was being serious even if the second sentence wasn't there (the in her post makes that clear).

While you might enjoy having spats with people others may find it tedious, so don't be surprised if anyone asks to have you put on their block list.

Re: Thingy





I typed out this big long post to explain to you why I thought Mags was wrong .All about articles and the fact that everybody was talking about the Ferns until she came alnog and said we called them Thingymebobs and i went further to explain how in the English language etc etc ...... Bah Blah Blah .....Meh .......... I then re- read Bob`s post and saw THIS .............

Thats when the penny dropped ( lightbulb moment ) and I realised why Mags had posted what she had .... .......... So I scrapped that post and typed this one out instead


All I can say is I got it very , very wrong and I apologise profusely to all involved , especially Mags .


I`m really very sorry Mags , and you too Bob for mucking up your thread cos I didnt read it properly ......



Hope you can both forgive me .

Thanks Azz , but it was the only right and decent thing to do when I realised my mistake.
