    Hey clio,

    I had a feeling you were older than 25 :D, cant imagine many guys that age appreciating Beryl Cook ( just teasing you, but hey that means you have another 10 years before you have a midlife crisis & get a really silly bike :j )
    Shall we all go to Birmingham & get Horace to clean our cars/bikes & change my front tire at the same time :rotfl:

    What, no poles either :eek: I'm not having a fire then :p:D

    I do like a pirelli :D

    - they kept my old car on the road even when cornering at 50 - the body rocked but the wheels stayed where they should :cool: Did scare the pants off a few of my passengers though :rotfl:

    DD has noticed the difference in how new car sticks to the road better, apprently she no longer feel sick at the big roundabout nearby :rolleyes:

    Would love to impress you by saying I'm a biker chick but... sadly I'm talking about my push bike :o

    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

    Wahay - look clio it's a page 3 bump :D

    Physically I feel like a barrel. But mentally I'm def more cheery, suprising how a good old gossip and moan about the world can help, thanks Lula.

    Now I've made myself sound like a miserable old gossipy nosey neighbour type:rolleyes: .

    I'm not honest. The old bit is wrong at least, I still like to think I'm young.




    I could be delunsional tho!:p
