If you aren't going to read posts properly, then I'm not going to reply to you.
Perhaps the reason you won't reply is simply because you don't have an answer?
Your initial post on this thread back on page 1 (ca. post#16 I think) 2 weeks after it had died has now taken this thread completely off-topic so perhaps it's best if you do stop responding."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -

No, you were only replying to half of each post. And were ignoring when I had previously answered a question.
I have alredy given you all the answers.
I posted to advise people that they could have a free home fire safety check, and also alarms if required. This is to save lives, not just prezzies for free loaders.0 -

No it was Premier who didn't do the quote thing properly.
I think you'll find it wasn't me that caused the incorrect quoting."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Whatever.
I'm off to work now to hopefully not have to pull a body out of a house because they were too worried about being a free loader to seek fire safety advice.0 -

The kids would be left school and renting theoir own property by then!!!
That's why you now need to go around each house because we can't get the service to teach the kids in school, because they are over-run with requests for free smoke alarms from free-loaders who can't be bothered to get off their backsides and go out and buy one themselves."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Target the money where it's needed and use it most efficiently!
Btw, was there anything factually incorrect in my post or are you now just posting in an arguementative manner for the sake of it?"Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Ha ha I am not sure, but am thinking I need one of those safety thingies. I really would not mind 6 strapping fire men round for a brew lol.
A friend of mine has a calender with firemen as months of the year. If I call for one of these checks can I specify that I would like Mr January, April and so on? or do I just get whoever is sent?;)

You re-opened this thread ofter 2 weeks by a post that started:
"If the property doesn't have smoke alarms,..."
and when you did so in a thread about a student property that was without a wardrobe in a bedroom, I can only presume it was for one reason - one that your subsequent style of posting is increasingly convincing me is the case.
You don't have all the answers - no one does.
There is no rule that says I need to address each and every part of every post you make. There may be parts that simply require no response, some that I have no issue with and some that don't even deserve commenting on.
Where have I asked a question, you answered it and I suggested you haven't?"Now to trolling as a concept. ....
