Who Will You Be Getting Together With?

[anotheoldgit]

This is what this is all about, the Guardian's togetherness with The Daily Telegraph and the Sun's togetherness with the Mirror.

Where will it all end Mikey's togetherness with ??????????

Whilst I always appreciate a good semantic quibble, it seems to have (deliberately?) been used to avoid answering a direct and pertinent question.

So perhaps I could repeat gness's question just changing one word and ask Naomi why she doesn't *think* it should be an annual event?

[mikey4444]

If this is an annual event, then so be it. We should get together, casting aside our differences more often.

Shame on people, spoiling AOG's lovely togetherness thread ...

> Where will it all end Mikey's togetherness with ??????????

AOG of course!

Without seeming disrespectful to Jo and her family, who have lived through and continue to live through a hell I can't comprehend.

Of course I never met her but she had the type of smile that could light up a dim room.

Every day is a designated 'day' of some kind, many mean nothing to me and others do - the notion of 'Togetherness' is something to be embraced, not necessarily in the physical sense of hugging someone you can't abide (too cheesy by half)but accepting we are all together on this planet and to a greater or lesser degree share it woes and wonders.

sunny-dave, my pleasure. From a personal point of view I don’t like national ‘group hugs’ that take advantage of human emotion to generate support. For that reason I don’t join in with Children in Need or Comic Relief either. If other people want to do it that's their choice, but it isn't for me. I trust that answers the question.

[ladybirder]

Thanks Naomi. I feel pretty much the same way.

DB, ^^ I would give you BA if I could ;o)

[DTCwordfan]

with you lot, I would be putting a burqa on......!

[ladybirder]

LOL db;-)

[agchristie]

Isn't AB fun, such a close-knit community!

[naomi24]

Or a community of knits! ;o)

[agchristie]

^ very good! ;-)

[anotheoldgit]

Just when one is waiting for an answer, one is removed.

The burqa wearing togetherness is interesting, but I wonder what the authorities would have to say, if we all walked around in one?
