I found Jade equally as dull as Ed, but at least a lot more genuine. So they are well suited in my mind.
I didn't really see any genuine love from Jade either during the show. I always got the impression she had a tick list of what made a perfect guy and Ed ticked the boxes so she decided she was going to have him regardless of feelings.
I can't be 100% sure but didn't she ask one of the HMs (Tully?) what was Drew and Eds earning potential?
Couldn't agree more Lisa. Have to laugh though…I think Drew's earning potential is likely much greater than Ed's, although without my crystal ball I'm only speculating.
 
don't get me wrong - I think its great they're spending time together and hope things work out well for Jade ... I'm just not convinced Ed is that much of a prince and think she deserves better.


so which parts of Shrek float ya boat [MENTION=33321]delcan[/MENTION]? and do we have our clocks synchronised folks? champers at the ready? fireworks perhaps?

fireworks happened last night or Ed wouldn't be there, and Jade must be good
 
But you're the same if someone says something about Tim. Like I said yesterday I felt that you and I came to an understanding a while ago and I don't actually take offence to anything you write. I don't expect to always agree with it though just like I don't expect everyone to agree with me. We should be able to interact without being labeled things like 'jade lover' and basically be told not to be here or say anything. Everyone should be able to say what they want and I do even if I know I'm in the minority about something.
Nah people trash Tim all the time - certain people in particular do it relentlessly - and I very rarely say anything unless it's something that's a blatant lie. I just scroll past their opinions as I do with some of the things said about other HMs that I don't agree with. Everyone should feel free to comment positively or negatively about any of the HMs but with that they should also be willing to accept that not everyone's going to agree with them or think the sun shines out of any of the HMs asses. My point was that no matter how I try to ensure no one can take what I'm saying as a personal attack on Jade's honour or misconstrue what I'm saying, there's always still someone who does so I'm just past the point of trying. It wasn't directed at you at all and really it isn't a big deal as to be frank, I'm not interested in that showmance anyway. I was just letting [MENTION=35834]Sweet_Geek[/MENTION] know the strategy I've decided to use to not somehow piss off Jade fans and more importantly make my time in here more enjoyable. If the conversation hadn't started, I would've just went continued happily on my merry way. :)
 
oh please .. your snarky "bitchy" comment was aimed directly at me for saying my piece ...

for the record (in case you missed it!) I DON'T think Ed is anywhere near good enough to lick the soles of Jade's feet - but if he makes her happy well & good ...

but call me old fashioned - the guy could buck up and put in a bit of effort!!!!

I felt you were being unnecessarily bitchy about it, yes, and I commented on it. Yes I can be snarky lol
But I also read your next comment about it and said l understood, so.... (in case you missed it) :p

He might be saving himself for after the movie. I mean he likes to plan ahead ;)
 
Perhaps 'nit-picking' would be a less offensive term?
It's not the term alone, but if posters want to post something, they should be able to without having to feel like they can't, so it's the approach of the post as well.
In this thread, saying how we feel is fine. I think all of us here respect the JA thread is a fandom one, so we leave it alone. Here it's a more general audience, so unless people are being unreasonable, here is the right place for reasoned dissent (or agreement for that matter).
Yes that's how it should be, but I feel like if jade is mentioned in a negative way then it can't be as you described it. It's actually getting 1) annoying and 2) hypocritical at times. This thread as mrs b said is not for fawning only and I want to be able to express how I feel about any of the hms and others shid feel this way too.

Safest option is just not post about her at all. I thought it was understood that this thread isn't just for fawning over any of the HMs but to also give opinions but no matter how many disclaimers I put in or how hard I try to explain myself, as soon as I say the word "Jade" there's always at least one person who doesn't get what I'm saying or takes it the wrong way. Today I decided I'm not even going to bother trying any more. Too much effort.
That's how I've felt too, but I don't think it's fair anymore. I'm not going to worry about others anymore because I know I'm being reasonable in my posts. I spent money and time on bb this year (maybe not as much as others), so I should be able to post what I want and enjoy it and if do done makes a fuss about it well eff off, I'd say it's them nit picking or bit hint about what I or another poster has to say.

It just feels that no matter what , its always the wrong thing. Like here, they're spending a night in. Just when I think surely there can't be a problem with that -no, he should be taking her out to dinner. And not trying to be argumentative here either, I can express my opinion on how I see it as well. I thought we'd all established that people can say what they like l don't expect anyone to stop, just like I don't feel it's fair for you to want me to do so either.
Yes, but crimmy posted her thoughts on it and I felt like she was accused of bitching for what she thought and expressed. She didn't be rude about it, nor was she being offensive in her posts IMO. Sometimes I feel ppl can be overly sensitive of a hm they like so don't realise they are making it uncomfortable for others to state how they feel. The jade thread a filled with nitpicking if certain hms and it's abler to be expressed, so it's no different for posters doing it here. I'm not calling out posters for talking negatively about tahan. I'll debate it, sure. Debating is fun, it I'm. It going to make others uncomfortable for having their opinions and expressing them. That's the point I'm making.
 
Couldn't agree more Lisa. Have to laugh though…I think Drew's earning potential is likely much greater than Ed's, although without my crystal ball I'm only speculating.

That's what I found funny too, I know a little of Drews industry and the earning potential is very high. I wondered if that's why she never completely dropped Drew until Tully marked him as hers and made it clear she was going to play games.

I know it's not very difficult to get myself into trouble no matter how much I try to edit things Iol . Oh well, all good:)
 
As a lurker and sometime contributor, Mr/Mrs/Ms Moderator, it's time to shut these fora down, same old same old, nag nag nag he says she says....zzzz... Boring!

I think Jade's perfect role would be as a WAG. She may meet the right guy through Ed ;)

Saturday night in. Watching movies, popcorn and chocolate. Perfect night after a night out #relaxed #movietime #chocolate #popcorn #getbig [MENTION=35880]Jade[/MENTION]albany

he couldn't spring for dinner? or a date?


haha anything tully/drew can do we can do better?? expect tully to one up them soon .... just jokes

hmm ed is really going full on with the photo's....either he really really wants everyone to know he's spending 'quality' time with jade, or he's trying to avoid talking to her by being on his damn phone all the time :p

I can't be 100% sure but didn't she ask one of the HMs (Tully?) what was Drew and Eds earning potential?

I agree she is in love with the fairy tail idea of marrying Prince Charming and somehow her first impression was that was Ed and she is just going after the fairy tale.

How well since you have demanded it I sure they will close down to you after all if you don't like it why should anyone else get a say.
 
Early night for Drew and Tully or should we assume they're doing a bit of rumpy pumpy and will pop back online later? Seems like quite awhile for neither of them to be online, especially Tully.
 
He might be saving himself for after the movie. I mean he likes to plan ahead ;)

as long as he's not one of those guys who mumbles all the way through ;) ... THE MOVIE ... I meant the movie!!! Keep it clean!!! We're still PG rated arent' we? lmao :)
 
Yep, I agree that people should be able to post what they want [MENTION=35834]Sweet_Geek[/MENTION]. Sorry it's so annoying,
Later:)

Lol that's always what I assume when they go quiet for a while. Especially if Drew isn't coming back to Sydney with Tully got to get it while you can. Either that or they are wrecked after last nights party and an early morning start.

haha yeah, Tim's really going to shut the forum down - or even the most active thread on the forum right now - because you find it boring. You do realise you can simply find Ed updates online yourself and not rely on others to do the work for you, right? That way you won't be "forced" to lurk here any longer. Problem solved.
