    I clicked spam Tixy, but when I went to see it's other posts it said there were no matches, so hopefully it's been kicked off.

    Just caught up, Handy that's brilliant news about your MIL, and very unusual. I'm so glad she's getting the help she needs.

    BL, we didn't go to look at any flats today, sister only had one viewing lined up so it just wasn't worth it.

    A quick bump as Fred slips down the page, and can people have a look at this thread please because I think people are being a bit judgemental and harsh, I reported one post a few days ago but nothing's been done so I don't know if I'm overreacting.

    Solvent, you have just given me the idea for a slogan for our little group - Join NTN and hammer a spammer today!

    Hi all would you like to borrow Handy's Hammer.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hitting a Spammer would make a change from my thumb!:rotfl:

    Cheers all back in a bit, handy.

    Cheeky little spammer won't stay down.

    Hi Ames Just had a look and I agree with you, the poster's are long term members, but they are not being gentle. I like the comment "An Honest Man Can't Be Conned". If your Truthful I've never found anyone totally Honest yet, including myself. It's Human Nature to want a bargain, to pay less, not to work as hard. That's how these companies get mugs to sign up.

    Thank's for pointing this thread out, my mind is not fully made up yet. but people should not have tunnel vision, each case is different. If financial organisations can change the goal posts to make more money, who should blame the consumer for using loopholes to pay less.
    Shame is this guy didn't realise and no one told him his course of action would blow his credit rating for years.

    Cheers Handy

    Hi Ames, I agree with Handy really, they are being a bit harsh and a bit judgemental but I'm not sure if they've crossed the line at the moment. Will see what pans out. Feel sorry for the OP though as at the moment he hasn't really had any good advice.
    I must stop procrastinating, I must stop procrastinating! promise I'll stop tomorrow OK:D

    Yup it's near the knuckle, I wish I was savvy enough to offer the op some firm advice, It is borderline abuse and I will be watching.:mad:
    Some posters I have replied to have left me wondering what the agenda was, or if they were an undercover Troll. The CAG thread has me bemused :question:

    And I wonder how many Agent Provocateurs are working on the boards.
    I am doing my best to keep open minded and treat folks as I find them.

    Hi Borrasic, put it on last week. Havn't used it yet. I saw other poeple have other instant messenger links on there profile, some more than one. The idea is if you set up AOL instant messenger you click on the link. I open my web mail and we can chat instantly.

    Like PM's but faster.

    Poor Lonely Handy, :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: No one's tried it yet. Must be that old tin of BRUT deodourant I've been using.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Cheers Handy.
