**Notice To Newcomers ~ Re: Trolls ~ part 9!**

Tixy

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

Afternoon all :hello:

Do you ever do small roast spuds with skins on? My mom does them, think they are done just the same and the skins goes crispy! I also cheat If - but I just turn up at the folks and eat there

Good evening trollbusters, spent this morning at university on the first day of a training course that will last until next spring. Found 2 of my colleagues doing the same course so have some mates to share the journey. Ages since I last did any kind of study, but it does look interesting and it is all about the work I do already so I can apply it to real life.

I made some tablet the other day but, niccatw, I can't send you a taster as it didn't turn out right. It has not set properly, maybe if I scrape it back into a saucepan and boil it up a bit more, perhaps?

Handyman - what a booger about the family, just as well you can choose your friends!

Evening folks, from a now cold NI. It was a lovely day here, with long periods of sunshine! I initially came on to let you know I've started a Diary (A day in the life of Red), which I'll try to add to everyday, so if anyone wants to post on it, please feel free, with any opinions, comments etc welcome.

Now onto the roast potatoes dilemma. No cheating is required, as I'll tell you how to make roast potatoes that will beat bought ones all day long (In my opinion anyway!).

Peel the Potatoes (Maris Piper are best, but you'll probably get away with almost any potato with the exception of Desirae which are very waxy!). Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and boil the potatoes for 8-10 minutes. Drain into a collander and allow to dry slightly. Preheat the oven to 180C and place goose fat, duck fat or vegetable oil into the bottom of a roasting tray and heat until quite hot, (there should be enough to come about half way up the potatoes when they go into the tray!). Shake the potatoes in the collander and then carefully place them into the roasting tray in 1 even layer. Turn the potatoes over so they're all coated in the fat, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 35-45 minutes (or for as long as required, which will depend on the size!) turning at least once to ensure a deep golden coloured crispy potato.

Enjoy
