    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

    Nope - it was not nice food at all. I would rather take my own food in but that would make them think I was even more odd. Still I am munching rice slims this afternoon instead.

    Nicca - hope OS come up with something really tasty for you.
    I love chick peas - good in vegetable curry or I like them in a chick pea pie (which is loosely based on shepherds pie), chick peas, onions, tinned toms/pasta sauce and herbs etc in the base (plus anything else I bung in), with mashed swede/squash/sweet pots (depending on what I have in), with a sprinkling of cheese on the top.

    Guess what I might be attempting tonight ;) Have swede and potatos to use up, though only half a tin of plum tomatos... but I do have passata...
