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

I all...just wondering if I have the word Mug tattooed on my forehead?:mad: A wedding planner contacted me on FB today and asked me how many chairs would be required at a wedding where the total number of guests for the whole do (day and evening) is 210 - they can't all have seats because the room is small and there is not much room for a dancefloor (bad planning if you ask me to have such a small room but there you go) - experience tells her 125-130 chairs but asks my opinion anyway:rolleyes: I am not being paid as a consultant for the wedding so why the flippin' heck should I give her the information and make the decision for her:mad:

Sorry I am having a whinge.

Hope it doesnt snow too much tomorrow. Wrap up warm anyway because there is a howling wind out there tonight.

This had better mean we are getting a long hot summer or someone at the Met Office will be doing the John Wayne walk when I've finished with him!

You'll have to get to him before I do Nargle :rotfl::rotfl:.

Good luck tomorrow Horace, hope you have a snow-free journey.

Hello Trollbusters
Rescuing thread from page 2 again - it's got wanderlust today.

Hope everyone's well.

Morning All. I'm sure I posted on here this morning between 5.41 and 9.50, so either I closed the page before I submited my reply or I've randomly bumped some other thread I was reading - suppose I best go check!
