    reading the threads today I see pigsback is starting to turn into a chatline again.. yawn ..with the influence of droopsnout{as usual}...can we stick to pigsback info people...?! more than reams of useless info..
    I don't normally post on here but this sort of puerile post is pathetic. Get over it or better still get out. There is only one person whinging on about this and it is now very boring.
    Not even wrong
  • Not sure about this one...... if Marks and Spencer allow online purchases to be returned to the store I don't see the problem. After all, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit! Any other thoughts on this?!

    Im intrigued by this idea, if you buy one expensive item (say a dress for £100) you get 1000pp and then if you return the dress to the store (which is reasonable enough) you've got 1000pp for nothing, i dont see what would stop you, except maybe ur conscience??!! if you do it let me know how it goes Im considering it myself!

    Thanks Twopints, but it's best not to get too worked up over our friend funnyguy, and his occasional contributions.

    If it helps you or anyone else (and bearing in mind his username) I always find that whenever he becomes particularly annoying, I just think of him in the context of the Joe Pesci character and famous soliloquy from the film Goodfellas - "in what way am I funny? - am I here to amuse you? In what ******* way am I so ******* funny(guy)" Etc, etc.... :D

    The alternative theory is that he's actually deeply in love with droopsnout and this is the way it manifests itself :):)

    Stand by to take cover, everyone!!!

    Oh dear. Pass the sick bag, someone. :D

    I'm not sure why this gentleman posts in this way on this thread. Although there are some slightly odd posts of his on other threads, it is only here where he appears to have abandoned common sense totally. Elsewhere, he has even been vaguely helpful from time to time. :confused:

    I have very broad shoulders and his silliness has no effect. But I am surprised that some of his posts are allowed to remain on the thread. I certainly wouldn't report them myself, as that would only give him some weird sense of satisfaction, and if banned he would only return in some other guise, probably pretending to be me, for some unfathomable reason. :p

    "Puerile" means "childish", of course.

    As a former teacher, I know that children are much more crushing in their insults than this contributor! :eek:

    I can't really comment on MSE as I've not been around for a long time but as a mod and admin on another forum and a reader of still more can I just say that's the most tiresome thing to read. If something is in the wrong place or offensive or just down right annoying then complain about it get it moved and then everyone can move on. Trolls like nothing more than attention (she says adding to the attention... ). I'm not singling you out btw droopsnout just making the point as to how to make boards work better...

    I for one like the personal chat in amongst the helpful posts - it's a community is it not? ;)


    eta.... no CTs for me either today

    My goodness, I'm terribly sorry!

    I trust that in your capacity as a guide elsewhere you show rather more tact!

    I see where you're coming from. But I'm blessed if I'm giving a troll the satisfaction of actually stirring things up.

    This person is now rolling on the floor laughing at the display of two reasonable people now potentially at odds with each other. More satisfaction for him.

    Sure feels that way from here!

    Thanks for the advice, though. :beer:

    For the last 10 months I have always enjoyed Droopsnouts contribution to this thread. We all need a laugh and joke otherwise life would be boring. Yet again we get tiresome comments when all we need is a sharing of answers and a little light in our lives. Thanks to you all.
