Seems to be okay now. But lasted for about 6 or 7 posts, maybe its my computers way of telling me to go do some real work.

Could be, Tixy:D;)

Oh and... BUMP:D:D

I've just spent an hour sitting in the garden as it's sunny and warm and I haven't seen any sun for most of September (or August, come to think of it). I should be working but I thought booger it....:D

Hope everyone else is getting some sunshine today

Tixy

Sunshine sounds lovely Spoon.

Anyone know if today is official oddballs day? I think there are some odd people around.

Hmm.. don't know about official oddballs, Tixy, but it is the 50th anniversary of the start of the Flintstones and the anniversary of Radio 1 being launched, so the day clearly has form:D.

I take it there are a few odd posts around?

Especially you two

No - I was wondering if it was a full moon or something!

sneaks back in...

Sorry I've not been around, I've been running around like a blue arsed fly organising theatre and opera trips, signing up for courses and stuff.

Have I missed anything big? Apart from the new thread, I can't believe it's here already!

Tixy

What courses are you going to do Ames?
How is the drumming going?

Ames

Tixy, the drumming's going great, I'm really impressed with myself. The courses are: beginners Spanish, beginners Russian, advanced Creative Writing, Crime and Justice OU, and then in November I start an OU archaeology course and in Feb restart an OU economics course. So it should keep me busy!

Tixy

New page, time for another reminder:D;)

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.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

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 their debt crisis


PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
