I wish to apologise for upsetting a member on this Forum. I posted, what I thought, was a genuine question with no malice intended. It appears that a member was upset by my post and hence I have had it removed.

I have posted on this forum for quite some time and, in my opinion, have never upset, intentionally, anyone on here. I apologise to the member.

You are a very valuable member of the forum Bill. These things happen. I've got myself in to trouble a couple of times here before

No1Doyen,

Who do you think that you upset?

Me?

Hilltop?

Ilovecyprus?

Because I can tell you for a fact, you didn't upset me - I was thoroughly enjoying the debate - and you were losing ;-)

Best regards,

Keith.

I'm not sure KC.

It was looking 50/50 to me. I think Bill got you with a nice right hook, but I enjoyed your bopping and weaving. Your quite nimble on you feet

Keith, It was clear to me that you were upset by my post and you really did'nt seem to be enjoying it.



I have apologised to you on an open forum. As far as I am concerned the matter is closed.



Mark, thanks mate.

I was not upset, merely concerned.

No1Doyen,

The fact that you have publicly apologised says more about your character than I ever could.

I accept your apology in the spirit that it was given, because you have offered it.

But I really was not upset, and I was enjoying the debate.

My last post, just before it all disappeared, was: -

No1Doyen, I'm a slow typist - you keep leap-frogging me! If this debate is making people think, then I don't see that it is doing any harm. I mean, we haven't come to blows - yet!

Best regards,

Keith.

Takes a real man to apologise No1 but I've not seen anything from you that I'd consider remotely offensive or upsetting to anyone.

Me neither, in fact i'm quiet shocked, could I ask what the topic of the thread was?

Bill, can I ask, did you ask to have it removed, or was it removed because someone asked?

Bill- I think most people on this board have learnt to know that you are a nice bloke. I also know sometimes debates get a bit heated & jovial remarks can be taken the wrong way. But the best bit is if you think you may have upset someone is to do what you have done. Put your hands up & say sorry. You've gone up further in my estimation, good man.

britvic,

I'm not going to mention it on-line, as No1Doyen has asked for it to be removed, but if you care to email me, I'll let you havethe full debate - gripping reading!

- If you allow for the fact that the posts got a little un-synchronised due to my slow typing (and even slower thinking) ...

Keith.

WOW. I'm humbled by these comments. Thank you one and all. As I have stated in the past, this is a great forum and everyone is entitled to an opinion. I've never had any problems with that. That it what the forum is all about.

You don't get off that lightly!!

Anyway, on the subject of apologies and to lighten up the thread:



My Apologies

As soon as I entered the office this morning, I sensed a general feeling of unfriendliness, and since several of you have called me a 'son of a bitch' to my face, I knew I must have done something wrong at the office New Year's party.

The Office Manager called me from the hospital today and since this is my last day, I have chosen this way of apologizing to all of you. I would prefer speaking to everyone personally, but all of you seem to go deaf and dumb whenever I try to talk to you.

First, to our dear and beloved boss, I am deeply sorry for all the things I called you Friday afternoon. I'm very much aware that your father is not a baboon, nor your mother a whore. Your wife is a delightful woman, and my story of you buying her for 50 cents in Tijuana was strictly a figment of my imagination.

Your children are undoubtedly yours, too. About the water cooler incident, you'll never know how badly I feel about it, and I hope you didn't hurt your head when they were trying to remove the glass jug.

To Martha, I express my deepest regrets. In my own defense, I must remind you that you seemed to enjoy our little escapade on the stairway as much as I did, until the banister broke and we fell eight feet to the second floor landing. In spite of the rupture you incurred when I landed on top of you, I am sure you will admit that when we landed it was one of the biggest thrills you have ever had.

Dan, you old goat, you've just got to forgive me for that little prank I played on you. If I had known you were goosey, I never would have done it. It would have been a lot worse if that fat lady hadn't been standing right under the window you jumped through. She really broke your fall a lot. People have been killed falling four stories..

John, I regret telling the fireman it was you who turned in the false alarm. Of course, I had no way of knowing they would make such a big deal about it. Those fire hoses sure have a lot of pressure, don't they? And the water is so cold!!

Glen, I know how you must feel about me. Opening the door to the broom closet suddenly must have startled you and Kathy quite badly, and to think how hard you bumped your chin on the sink when you bent over to pull up your pants, it makes me sick. We'll have to get together for dinner some night after the dentist finishes your plates.

Diane, the only excuse I can offer for stealing all your clothes and hiding them when I found you passed out in the ladies room is that I was drunk. I also want you to know that I was very embarrassed when I couldn't remember where I hid them, and you had to go home in that old sofa cover. Running your falsies up the flag pole was a bit too much, but like I said, I was a little drunk.

To each and every one of you, I am sorry. Setting Lucy's panties on fire seemed funny at the time, and it saddens me to hear that her husband is divorcing her because of it..

Urinating in everyone's drink was in bad taste, and not telling anyone about it until all the drinks were gone was even worse.

Now that I have apologized to all of you and know that I am forgiven, I will do my very best to come to the picnic ...
