Re: Alan Bennet
 

I thought my migraine was making me incapable of reading that post properly, but given your response I know it's not ;)

Re: Alan Bennet

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Whatever it is you're talking about I must never have heard it...

Cus i have no idea what you're talking about :D

Re: Alan Bennet
 

That's not the problem, I honestly didn't understand a word of your first post - sorry :shrug: :)

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Dilli would love that post, not a comma in sight :D

I also didn't understand a word of it.

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Surely with that reply oh here we go i wont bother but i have now so what your saying is because you have never listened or read anything by alan bennet it shouldnt be discussed on a forum ?

Re: Alan Bennet
 

No what we're saying is...

We can't understand you :wtf:

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Seriously, read your first post out loud to yourself (or, better still, someone else) and tell me you honestly think it makes sense?

I'm not saying you can't post about Alan Bennet, I'm just suggesting that if you're going to you need to slow down a little and actually construct a post that's readable...

Re: Alan Bennet
 

bjorkiii it's not that it shouldn't be discussed.
It's like you thought of multiple things in your head and typed it, sentences ending in mid sentence, changing to something else again and again, making it very difficult to understand.

Re: Alan Bennet
 

All i asked is do anyother or any other forum members like alan bennet plays or books ? ooh just because i ramble on doesnt mean i dont have a say, I know what i meant its just upto use lot to decipher it

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Ok, that makes perfect sense now - thanks :)

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Now that post makes sense :)

Calm down! You can have as much say as you like. But if you'd like us to understand your view and respond to it take a bit of time with your post ;)

Re: Alan Bennet
 

your going on ignore chuzzle, does this forum have a ignore function i will look now. Yes it does

Re: Alan Bennet
 

yes it does. It's in the User Control Panel, on the left, 'Edit Ignore Lists'.....

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Alan Bennet is a playright and I think you are reffering to Last of the summer wine with Thora Hird? I used to like her in that show where she and her son were funneral directors "in Loving Memory"

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Oh dear I appear to have offended someone.

Apologies :tu: Was only mixing constructive feedback with a bit of humour..

well bjorkii i shall bid you good day if im going on block :(

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Everyone is entitled to a say, bjorkii - but you will get more discussion if your posts are easy to read and understand; why should people have to work at deciphering what you meant?

Re: Alan Bennet
 

if you want your posts to be read at all it is up to you to construct them in such a way they do not need to be 'deciphered'.

Thank goodness for the ignore list ...

Re: Alan Bennet

Re: Alan Bennet
 

I believe the OP is referring to Alan Bennet's series of monologues called Talking Heads..The story with the cracker starred Thora Hird I believe and referred to the poor unfortunate elderly woman who fell in her own home.She was left looking at the cracker that had fallen under her sofa in the time she was on the floor..It's being repeated on either BBC3 or 4

From the link provided...and it was an excellent series in the true Bennet attention to character and everyday minutea.

Re: Alan Bennet
 

I always enjoy his books as well.

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Songs of praise sound about right to me ;)

Re: Alan Bennet
 

i agree with you bj i believe that alan bennets writings are second to none , my advise is to ignore those phillistines

Re: Alan Bennet
 

I don't think that anyone was actually criticising Alan Bennet. I think people were just having trouble understanding the first post.

Re: Alan Bennet
 

Gordon Bennett ... :rolleyes:
