RIP

[maggiebee]

Sad day. RIP Nelson.

[craft1948]

And what would those beliefs be tezmand?

[Wharton]

craft1948 - Gie it (and him) a rest hen.

[ummmm]

Wharton, type in English.

[Wharton]

Gie it a rest = let matters drop, no point in continuing with this

hen = affectionate term for female

[Baldric]

Think I'll wait for a straightforward RIP thread,
If that's ok :-(

[Wharton]

Baldric - It was a perfectly respectful RIP thread from tezmand. Apology to her?

[Baldric]

Wharton, agreed, no disrespect to tezmand whatsoever,
But I don't think I'm the one who should be apologising.

[Wharton]

Good for you Baldric. When I visit Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow tomorrow to acknowledge his passing, I'll whisper your name.

[Hypognosis]

R.I.P. Nelson.

[jeffa]

This is inevitable. Mandela is considered a great man, a great leader and a freedom fighter by many. But others still consider him as little more than a terrorist. Many people will be mourning his passing tonight. But not everybody...

[tezmand]

did i say something wrong by saying rip to nelson mandela ? confused ! and craft 1948 dont you know what his beliefs were or are you giving me an exam on the matter ?

[Baldric]

Tez, no nothing wrong at all, just feel that if someone has a problem with him they could have started their own thread not latched on to yours.

[jno]

there were a couple of RIP threads around already, Baldric, one in News

[tezmand]
