That might upset the trobiscites.

[ToraToraTora]

21:45 did you mean to put the word "owner" in there somewhere?

[Barmaid]

What absolute poppycock. According to the article, links have not been proven and even if they were this was her 4xggf - so one of 64 of her ancestors. She is neither responsible nor reflective of what her ancestors may or may not have done in the C18th.

Does ANYONE know for definite what their ancestors did? For sure? And even if you do know, does that impact your life or entitle others to judge? 

[Ellipsis]

That's why the ellipsis exists, Jack ...

Is 21:36 you admitting this entire thread is you trolling Tora?

[ToraToraTora]

21:48 "Could you not find something to slag Labour about today, or no stupidity in The Chase?" - there's always tomorrow. Opposition is fun isn't it! 😁

[ToraToraTora]

so I see a two pronged defence from the Trobiscites:

either: There is no proof

or: even if it's true it doesn't matter.

[Mozz71]

21:48 not really, did you mean to at 21:02?

[Mozz71]

//even if it's true it doesn't matter.//

 

Well, tell me how it does matter?

[ToraToraTora]

Who said is matters? I was just doing what we do in news, induce a discussion on a topical news item, I had no idea it would induce such hysteria in trobland.

[jackthehat]

Yes, you did.....it is in your title.

Please stop referring to anyone disagreeing with anything you say as a trobiscite, it really is embarrassing for someone in his 60s to make up names for other people.

Really.

[perseverer]

Trobland, another of your inventions?

[ToraToraTora]

Where have I said it matters?

I can just see the trobiscites frothing at the mouth! PMSL!

[ToraToraTora]

22:04 Yes it's where the Trobiscites live. It's capital is Trobopolis and they speak Trobish.

[Mozz71]

Well, it must matter to you Tora, or you wouldn't say people are using it a defence. 

Either you agree that it doesn't matter or you think it does. Which is it?

[andy-hughes]

TTT - // I can just see the trobiscites frothing at the mouth! PMSL! //

I suggest you get your eyes tested then.

All you have done is irked a few of the sensible AB'ers who can see through your rather childish attempts to whip up a negative response to your non-story.

Please don't try and confuse patient eye-raising with uncontrollable temper - the two are mutually exclusive.

There is no 'frothing' anywhere, from anyone, except in your fevered imagination.

[ToraToraTora]

I don't think it matters but a lot will and her politcal opponents will do their best to use it.

[ToraToraTora]

AH: " patient eye-raising " - perlease it's like I strangled a kitten!

[andy-hughes]

TTT - // AH: " patient eye-raising " - perlease it's like I strangled a kitten! //

You are deluded - again.

[perseverer]

They speak trobish, you speak rubbish?

[Barmaid]

I'd prefer it if you could stick to intelligent debate rather than referring to those who see a flaw in your argument as "trobiscites".  

I've been researching ancestry for nearly 40 years. If that makes me a trobiscite in your view, that says more about you than me!
