I always intended it to be a joke, maybe you are of sufficiently low morals to try to hide a mistake as a joke but please don't assume everyone has your character flaws  1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How should I judge people if not on their actions? Maybe it will help you if I tell you that my response was to parley, and it concerned other people, and had nothing whatsoever to do with you. If I had wanted to insult you personally, I would have responded to you, and there would have been no doubt whatsoever that you had been insulted.

If I had wanted to insult you personally, I would have responded to you, and there would have been no doubt whatsoever that you had been insulted. I'm Australian. It's very easy to get the wrong end of the stick on a forum (as we did recently @newjez) because there's a lot more to communication than simply words, whether they be written or spoken. If we were all sitting around a pub table enjoying a pint/wine/scotch/GnT etc, then misunderstandings would be ironed out during the course of the conversation. Most people are very good at responding to body language and non-verbal cues because it's innate. Occasionally differences of opinions with other forum members will occur, and that's perfectly normally, but if a member is continually involved in disagreements with others then perhaps they should review their commenting style - and think a little more before they post. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been twenty years since I visited. It's grown alot. It's a pretty place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen 'Harrow' but might check it out if it's filmed in Brisbane - is it on Netflix? Brissie has come on leaps and bounds in the last decade, but the huge influx of people has also taken it's toll as the infrastructure struggles to keep up. The Riverwalk and the new bridges now connect with footpaths and cycleways so you can travel almost the full length of the river on both sides - it's a fabulous way to get around the city, Edited April 11, 2021 by Wanderer Returns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was in Hornblower, I thought Ioann Gruffyd was rather scrumptious, but for some reason I find him irritating now, which has put me off watching Harrow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good in liar liar. His career suffered alot with me too. He also seems to be going through a messy divorce. But I quite enjoyed Harrow.
