    Hey korky I remember all that chew you had with someone in the puzzle threads and it was locked in the end. You always get one don't you! I don't venture in the puzzle thread now much as I can't even keep up with the main threads! :D

    I voted today and there was hardly anyone going in. I even talked my hypocritical hubby into voting for the first time! I was amazed that he has never voted!

    Hiya skippycat. :wave:
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    hey sweetie, i used to be like that especially with certain posters in the puzzlers thread, think lots of peeps in here will remember who i'm on about & still get hassle from them, even had a pm asking me sarcastically if i owned a paper shop rolleye0011.gif & once they told me to **** off
    & not bother posting, i sent them all to abuse but still get them now & again, have just learned to switch off & ignore, at one time i kept retaliating & the threads got locked, so now just take a deep breath & go cheer up in the IW's or in here or go to another board just to get away from it rolleye0013.gif

    Awwww Korky, that's terrible :( I really can't believe the attitudes of some of the people who post on these forums.... :mad:

    MSE is the best place to be even though you occassionally get someone who pees you off.

    Sweetie - don't let it bother you.

    I got a bit of an offensive pm once but just answered with a smiley so I believe I won that round lol.

    Going to go off now and check my emails as I haven't managed to catch up the comps as I am needing my afternoon nap more and more. I wouldn't mind so much but I don't go to bed really late and I don't get up exceptionally early. I've decided it's the pills so there!

    Hope eveyone is having a lucky day.

    Brill presies Blackmidnight. x

    hiya wingo :wave:
    yep, we always get one .. or two.. hard to ignore them but we have to try :) think there's been a few threads locked with mine :o when i used to keep replying to them, but have learned a bit to keep
    quiet :D:rotfl:one's that really get my goat are the ones who reply to complain or make comments & they've not even thanked the poster for their posting :(

    agree with you skippycat, but the majority on here are lovely :A
    just the odd few that can be nasties, suppose we get that on all sites & forums, at one time i was ready just to pack it all in & have to say ppd & Al Mac helped me loads in pm's & taught me a lot to learn how to ignore them :)

    got a book, some money/vouchers, a necklace, smellies & some pasta...

    nice pressies BMN :j

    hi MD :wave: :eek::eek: gosh much safer here :D
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    MD - Oh dear, BNP, really cannot believe that party exists, let alone people voting for them :o

    Wingo - I have never voted before :o This is my first time. I just think that I wasn't too interested the last few times as it seemed that labour were a cert etc, but felt I had to do something as really don't want David Cameron to be leader, I think I'll dig a big hole and live in it til the next election if he does :o
    Thanks for the lovely comment :kisses3:

    :wave: Skippycat :kiss:

    BM - sounds like you got some fabby prezzies :j :kiss: Hope you're enjoyin your day xx
    :) xx JoJo xx :)
