Notice to newcomers - part 5

Tixy

A going swimming bump!

Nargleblast

Good evening all. Reviewed financial situation today and have deferred replacing car window motor till end of month when I get paid, gives us plenty of time to source a cheaper one than the £230 + victim added tax that I was quoted..... have also got gardening catalogue out to see what veggies or flowers to grow this year, that will have to be ordered end of month too. Having said that, I did pick up some seeds from Aldis the other day, 39 pence a pack - runner beans, spring onions and sweet peas. Hope I have better luck with them this year, I am usually the kiss of death to plants.

Happy trollbusting!

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

:j Yay, well done on the swimming front Tixy.

Numpty, you ought to have circled the industrial strength ear defenders in the tool station catalogue, with instructions on the builders getting them to you first thing tomorrow I hope it's quieter!

MF - loving the tranquil picture. I made me relax my shoulders a little. Now, if you could find a few more, I might actually get to sleep before silly o'clock tonight!

Recovered from the unfortunate gym incident pretty quickly - as soon as I got some sugar into my system in fact. Should have known better

Night all

I'll be dreaming of sailing around the world - thanks MF. Though my yacht will be bigger than the one above and I'll have Hugh Jackman "drive" it for me

Good morning all
