A new page time for one of these x
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 such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!
What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Abuse” icon, as shown below:
Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the abuse team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

sizz wanted to bump to top of page:D
Hi everyone keep up the good work:j0 -
Hi Roo, i have to say that i agree with most of what you have said. I do and have for a long time, enjoyed Ricky's sense of humour, and his laugh just sets me off straight away.
I can't say i saw the bit where Karl did the food in someones face bit, there is no excuse for that and to be honest i'm glad i didnt see it as i would have been very disappointed. I didnt actually see it from the start and have only seen a couple of episodes but in all honesty, they really made me laugh my socks off. Yes he may well be very ignorant, but it's the way he voices what so many others are probably thinking, without having the nerve to say so. I dunno what it is, he just seems to tickle my funny bone, no end!. :rotfl::rotfl:
The first bit I really laughed hard at was when Karl said the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil "looked like Jimmy Hill".
I've got all the original episodes of the XFM Radio show saved on my PC, had them for years and years and they STILL make me laugh - especially the episode from New Year's 2002. They're talking about what they got for Christmas and Karl reluctantly admits that he got his girlfriend (Suzanne - poor woman!) a bumper pack of condoms as her present. He wasn't joking. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -
Back in a bit to catch up still gotta get my packing done!.. :eek:If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them~Dalai LamaHow people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours~Wayne DyerLet none find fault in others.

The bit i saw where he mentions Christ the redeemer, he says that the statue looks like a Pylon. Part of me thinks that some of it is set up, and this example reinforces that belief somewhat. Maybe i just have to wait and see what really does happen in this weeks episode, i think it's this week that he's in Brazil. Either way, as far as i'm concerned it makes for a very good bit of entertainment and definitely worth puuting the TV on for... and thats saying a lot!. :rotfl:If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them~Dalai LamaHow people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours~Wayne DyerLet none find fault in others.
