How Did CBF Members Compare When You Met Them?

[Colwyn]

I have read these comments with some amusement. People meet face to face  and be pleasant and then on line, for every one to see, show their real side . Discretion or politeness goes out the window. I know it is light hearted, but  some  some poor souls can take offence. (Scunner exepted.)   

Yes, I know Scunner complained that in real life I am neither tall enough nor fat enough (same thing, apparently) but I assure you that, even though I am noted as a highly sensitive poor soul, I have not taken offence. I merely assumed that it demonstrated that Scunner was a man of dubious perception. Please don't get offended on my behalf. Otherwise I'll have to crank up my longtime rant about living in a culture where too many people are all too ready to take offence at damn near anything - even if they excuse it bysaying they are taking offence on other people's behalf.

Yes, taking offence at someone saying you look like a much loved comedian/British celebrity - so much that you spend the next 10 years slagging them off to anyone and everyone, telling them what an effing **** Scunner is!!!

Honestly, would you be offended. Oh, and so you can give a balanced opinion, here is the very photo I said looked like Harry Secombe.




Hardly the basis for a decade of hate is it?

I think he looks like Harold from Neighbours.

Looks more like Don Estell to me !

Obviously, I'm sorry if the above offends anyone.

Just borrowed that picture.  I do hope you aren't offended.

[Scunner]

I've never been so insulted

[KKOB]

You have, but you were just too busy to notice.

You obviously haven't lived Keith !! ;-)

Nichola. I had very clear expectations, from photographs and posts, of her appearance, manner and laughter. When I finally met her I discovered that ......  she was exactly like I had imagined. Not a good tale perhaps, but a very pleasant meeting.
