    Just like the icy weather this has slipped to page 4:eek:

    Roads and pavements were terrible today - the council hadn't gritted, slid over the road (nearly r s over tit) bus slid all the way to city centre, slipped when I got off the bus, caught another bus, slipped and slithered my way to my meeting and before I got there promptly slipped and fell into a handily placed gorse bush:mad:

    so how much are you suing the council for?

    oh yes, I forgot, they've no money....hmm, they could always go to the government who'll print some...quantitative easing....!!!!!!...:mad:.

    I'm going to bed soon cos I've really had enough!

    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P

    Keeping off page 3 bump.

    I am not suing the council Bismarck, I have bigger fish to fry:rotfl: Anyway I can easily get my own back on them by refusing to deliver their leaflets:rotfl:

    Also I am still waiting for the phone to ring so I guess the tv company will phone me when I am doing my mystery shop tomorrow:D

    Night night Bismarck - sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

    Wonder if the mystery shop changes if you get the phone call:rolleyes:

    Stroppy assistant - "what do you want"

    Horace - " I'd like some mystery shopping please"

    Stroppy assistant - "ain' got none of that"
    phone rings
    Horace - "Excuse me while I take this call from a TV company"

    Stroppy assistant - " Would Madam like her mystery shopping delivered with a gold ribbon by the manager on thier hands and knees"
    :rotfl:
