    I'm not sure if I want to ask (as I don't want infecting as well) - but what song is the link to (not allowed on youtube at work!). I reckon if Numpty's got in on vinyl I might be too young to know it anyway! :p

    Regarding the Spam button - I'm sure we've been intentionally spammed by some people before - some just don't appreciate our troll busting efforts! (confused?)

    Hi all

    Its another gloomy day here but at least the snow has gone. Discovered last night that I need yet another new suitcase as found that the wheel on the pale pink job bought in Spain was wonky because the plastic has broken:mad: I don't want to be struggling with a broken suitcase (I shall use it as storage instead).

    From the mid-80's Tixy - Red Box - Lean On Me

    But it has this line ...

    "From the very very young to the very very old. Everybody now say aye!"

    I can hear it as I type, lmao!




    ....and bump from page 2!

    Thanks MF - I don't think know it so I'm free from infection, I was only a 'nipper' in the mid 80s, and still singing along to my parents beatles records!

    although that said I am now thinking of another song of the same title, Bill Withers perhaps? which could also gets stuck in my head. (roll eyes)

    Nuisance about the suitcase Horace, is there anyone you could borrow one from who lives near to you? if not maybe you'll be more likely to find a bargain one at this time of the year than in summer time.

    BUMP

    "Lean on me, when you're not strong, I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on" ... etc, etc.
    That's also called "Lean on me" and it is by Bill Withers - well done Tixy, you've passed the pop quiz today ..

    The first version is still going round my head MF, keeping the radio on in the background to try to distract my brain but it's not working..

    Pain about the suitcase Horace...

    BUMP

    Yep, I had chocolate fudge cake, very enjoyable! Not only cake of course, that was just for dessert. Bad idea not bringing in lunch, costs in money and in calories :o. I shall be scared stepping on the scales on Thursday.

    It seems like there are even more new people in trouble in Feb than in January, maybe it takes people a month after their new year's resolutions to find us or build up the courage to ask for help. Or maybe it only gets scary when January's credit card statement drops?

    Anyway at least they have found us now. :j

    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

    Curiouser and curiouser.

    I wonder if there's a tame board guide around who knows why?
