    10,000 posts..Numpty you are champion yakker:rotfl:

    I also dont like the man in the postal gold advert - he looks like an axe murderer with his scary eyes.

    I am feeling a little better Lula - still going to the quacks though so must ring for an appointment.

    Thanks for the linky MF - I will have a look tomorrow. Being a publicist/manager will be rather fun and I would be following in my parents' footsteps as they managed a band when I was a kid..I used to find all sorts sitting on the sofa supping tea the strange thing was that I never associated these blokes that visited the house for wise advice or see my dad as they wanted their vehicles fixed (he had his own business at the time) with bands that I heard on the radio or saw on Top of the Pops. My claim to fame is that Jimmy Page played at my 10th birthday party:cool: I have lost all links from that but have cultivated new links with new people.

    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

    Hey, well done Numpty - bet you were lost for words :D

    Nah, not you - but did you notice something really "spooky" and unique just before you hit the 10k :confused:

    Not sure that link is vital at all Horace - but it is part of current goings on.
    If many little people, in many little places, do many little things,
    they can change the face of the world.

    Buenos Dias..one and all.

    MF I spent long hours last night reading that website - it is interesting and I shall keep abreast of what is going on.

    Best do some work I guess and I need to visit the sorting office before 12.30 to collect a parcel - it might be tatco stuff to test or hopefully it will be 4 tubs of snow:cool:

    Arrivederci.

    6 tubs of snow arrived today:j I have 6 different types: foss, foss iridescent, display snow fine, display snow medium, snow sparkle and iridescent flake - there's no business like snow business:rotfl: These samples are for me but I am going to donate them to a charity panto that some 4Ners are doing as there should be enough for the effect that is required. I only use the best companies and Snow Business are the best in the world - their website is worth a look as you can watch different snippets of films etc.

    Well you are not getting a well done from me yet Numpty! as you have predicted you are back down below the 10k.
    Well done on the 10,000 Numpty, do you get another gold star or something?

    I thought maybe you'd get a personal message from Martin (y'know like the queen on your 100th birthday!) :rotfl:

    Good to hear from you Rog :j.

    BUMP
