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

Chat over ... time for this important message.

MF - Dali one strange geezer - I know someone who has a copy of one of his works, the one with I think swans on a lake where their reflections look like elephants in the water. Fascinates me every time I vist them and catch sight of it, but I think his stuff would give me nightmares if I had any of it in my house.

Christ of St John on the Cross is probably my favourite Dali! Not impressed that it has moved to Kelvingrove museum as it's hidden behind glass and you can now see all the lights reflecting in it! It used to be at St Mungo's and was really high up - it really had presence there! Though some-one did mange to slash it :mad: so that'll be why it's behind glass now. Still, they could have placed it better!

I like Swans Reflecting Elephants

How bizarre Nargle; that was a cross post!

Nargleblast

Even more bizarre, I actually posted something following your post with the picture, but it appears to have disappeared into the ether. How surreal is that? That old Dali magic again!

niccatw

And just what do you think you are doing on page 2? Stop pretending to be shy and get back to where every-one can see you

Last bump of the evening from me. Night all

Good evening all. for all newcomers lurking and wondering what the heck is going on, here is a resume.

Numpty has systematically wrecked his kitchen trying to fit in a new washing machine and fridge freezer donated by friends - the kitchen was only 6 foot by 4 foot when he started, gawd knows what it's like now.

Niccatw has been away for the weekend burning the candle at all ends and squandering money shamelessly.

Solvent has been skiving part of the day instead of doing bumping duty.

MF is conspicuous by his silence, and I think his avatar is more like a urinal than a sink.

And Horace - well, is the world ready for a lime-green Horace? For this and the answer to many more fascinating questions, watch this space.

(and me? well, I've been as good as gold like what I always am)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Oy, Nargle, I've been working today..... had a busy day (well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!)

Answer here (back a few a pages):

It is an extract from one of Salvador Dali's paintings, and for me, he remains my most favourite artist, but he was a very strange guy - lmao, maybe that explains a lot about him being my favourite. :rotfl:

Full painting can be found here:

Went to the Dali musuem in Spain a few years ago. The building itself is odd, never mind what's inside - giant eggs on sentry duty on the roof for a start. My favourite piece was an old car (1920s-ish) with two dummies inside, the car was continually being filled up with water and emptied - that was it. He was a very strange person but I really like some of his paintings..

I'll be back on normal bumping duties tomorrow, so will see you all then.

I only just joined this afternoon but so far everything I've seen posted here has been really polite and great advice. So keep up the good work!
