LOL! Budgie isn't too bad a nickname at least, haha!
You say your younger days as if you're ancient, you're what, late twenties, early thirties?
Maybe a bit creepy!

Fish Crazy
Bang on thirty, I call myself "old" because my body is betraying me, getting out of bed feels like I was run over the day before. I'd say im an inbetweener
And now I'm frightened to like anything, or make a light-hearted comment, in case I wee-wee someone off.
I've had some lovely jokey conversations on here, and have "liked" other people's friendly conversations. rarely has someone taken something the "wrong way", but when a comment has caused an unintended reaction an apology has always been forthcoming and friendly relations re-established.
This is life - sometimes we say or do something which is misunderstood, or we misunderstand someone else's remarks or actions. We can't spend all of our time tip-toeing around things - as I say, this is part of life, and learning how to deal with it, and settling differences amicably is a bloomin' useful life skill! As is being able to apologise for something we've done wrong. Nothing wrong with learning this on a friendly forum.
And I will say, that sometimes I've liked posts because someone has made a comment which has seemed to be ignored and I just want them to know that someone has read it and appreciated their contribution.
I don't think any of us are deliberately nasty to one another. If we can't make any light-hearted, jokey comments then the forum will lose a lot of its joy - we just need to keep them "cheeky" and not mean.
However, I won't comment on your posts in future Deanasue, as in your role as moderator you will get more than the average, and I understand you not wanting to plough through them.
lol. I'm 37, I feel ancient. I miss my twenties!
ETA: Also I loved The Inbetweeners. Also watching Friday Night Dinners on Netflix recently, under-rated comedy, if anyone has seen it.

I agree.
You guys have not heard anything I’ve said. The like is wonderful if used in the way it was intended to be used. This idea of making it a contest has ruined the purpose of the function. I like posts, I DON’t like just liking everything to stay on top in reaction scores. There’s no purpose in it and it ruins the purpose of genuinely liking someone’s comment. When I see a like from some of you now, I just shruck it off and know you didn’t really like the comment. No reason to like some. Doing it just to raise your scores ruins the whole thing. JMO. Signing off now.

If Flushable had been here a little longer, he'd know that neither of us intended any unkindness. I don't think any of us do. (And I wasn't trying to point any fingers at you PK - I felt more guilty myself . . .
)Your children are gorgeous!
RUDE COMMENT ALERT!!! DO NOT READ IF EASILY OFFENDED!!!!!
If you had had a tiny toothbrush moustache* on that third picture, you could have called it "Adolf Hitler - The Emo Years"
(I'll get me coat . . . )
*As a lady of a "certain age", I have a luxurious Stalin moustache if I'm not very careful. Thank heavens for wax strips, that's all I'll say.
This is actually an ongoing thread. Perhaps it has run its course and needs to be locked now.

Thread unlocked but please stick to topic and no rude remarks regarding pics. Thank you in advance.
There used to be a TV programme called "Budgie" with Adam Faith as the eponymous lovable rogue, and the late great Iain Cuthbertson as his Glaswegian gangster boss.
(Why, no. No I don't go out very much. What made you ask?)
