Trolls, where? Not had any lunch yet, one of them might make a tasty snack ......

It wouldn't even have sufficed as a starter, ss. It was, at best, a very amateurish attempt, probably by some bored, pimply kid, at 'trolling'. :rotfl:

Anyway - it seems to have 'skulked' off back to its bridge. :rotfl:

Didn't get the tree decorated. It started to rain and hasn't stopped - will have to wait till Monday now, as I'm 'trundling' all day tomorrow.

Looks as though most of the 'regulars' are off 'Christmas Shopping' ?

Great news about the troll Rog, but not so good about the rain, oh dear...
Numpty and Tixy have gone to the Edinburgh meet, I think, so they won't be around.

Hi Nargle, hope you're OK?

Hello to everyone else :hello::hello:

Aye oop solvent, I'm fine. Have only had 2 days off in the last 9 days so haven't been around. Fortunately have a few days off now to unwind and prepare for Christmas ho ho ho bah humbug and all that. I see half the clan have gone to Jockinese land this weekend so it will be fairly quiet on the forums methinks.

Keep on trundling Rog, think of the money! And great news about the shoes, you can get rid of the bits of newspaper tied around with string now!

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

Hello fellow bumpers :hello:, glad you are all OK.

Nargle - glad you're OK, missed your little witticisms (sp?) over the last few days. Christmas is definitely bah humbug....

Horace - glad you've got the TV sorted out - how's the washing machine?

Angie - happy Sunday to you as well and hope you're OK?

Lula - hobnobs and soup, yum, what type of soup? I love home-made soup :j

Hello to everyone else as well, hope you're all OK and welcome to any newbies reading this nonsense. If you read nothing else on this thread, please read the message So Sad Angel has just posted and watch out for the trolls.
