Thanks. My grandma needs lessons in sucking eggs. Any tips?


You're welcome. Tell your Grandma to get smaller eggs. Anything else I can help you with?


Thanks. Not sure you can help with this one; my grandma also needs lessons in understanding irony.

Again you're welcome. You're right, I think I'm going to have to pass on that one, but surely you're more qualified for the role? Nice posters by the way. Come to think of it, maybe you can help me with something; my Grandma needs lessons on reading through forum threads properly before writing a comment.

Perhaps CNP footsoldiers might consider spreading the best examples of this "passive hostility" (love it) around the world wide web; get a bit of a passively hostile movement going...

(Young bill cobbett, for example, could set up a CNP facebook group!)

Could call them the PHAGs

Passive Hostile Aggressive Groups

Then, if any women want to join, they could be called Phag Hags.
