    MT - can I say one thing



    TEFLON SHOULDERS

    I use this saying regularly at work.

    There is more going on in ALL our lives than being bothered about someone , a word I am not allowed to use, posting and what they post. Ignore, use the ignore button, that is what it is for.

    It is so not worth communicating, making comments, expiring the thread, etc. Like any thread, it will die a death especially when people realise it is not updated, etc. or they find there are more coupons available they are not aware off by not reading the printable coupon thread.

    And if people put coupons on ebay..... there is nothing we can do about it, this is not the only forum where people can find coupons. They can be getting them from anywhere and putting them on ebay.

    You just stick to posting and saving us money :)

    asking/venting this here, soz

    am i wrong to be alittle put out by the thread started by discreet- supermarket pdfs.
    basically they've copied/use the info from a post ( FIXED DATE)in coupon thread and started another thread , supposedly they are to hard to see in the 1 post on 1st page dispite being clearly marked.
    its not so much me but the taking other peoples finds and no thanks being given to them in new thread.

    and how confusing is it going to be if the few that use their thread start posting coupons there instead of coupon thread.

    Hi MT

    I personally think he has a cheek copying someone else's work. Also no one is given info on use of the coupons, ie rules and regs for example.

    But, saying that, I don't think you can stop him.

    I think only Andrea/BT etc can stop it as its a duplicate thread and usually they merge threads that duplicate each other.

    So, at the moment all you can do is ignore him.

    Take care

    board guides can merge threads and BT has already made comments about the poster making a duplicate thread of what already exists. BT has even suggested MT add a new page with the non coupon installer vouchers/coupons if this would make it easier for people. This is on the thread itself where he is posting.

    hi A
    it was originally locked but was unlocked again
    hence BTs post there.
    he/she has posted pdfs coupons
    and in the coupon thread they already have there own post FIXED END DATE post. i have extended the title of it so it now clearly states PDFs and no software download needed in the hope of making it much clearer and as its the 2nd post to most it shouldn't be too hard to see.
    i know BT was trying to compromise but as people already complain about the amount of posts on 1st pages i can't see duplicating the exist info will help matters.

    sorry little rants again, will shut up now :rotfl:
    and in no way aim at you A, just letting of steam:D

    afternoon all! PM I caught myself wondering how you knew it was an unfertilised egg, then I realised that if she hadn't had any male company then that would be one sure sign!

    Think I'm on a lucky streak, had 5 wems from Anchor recently (1 cake tin already arrived) and then I won a ridiculous pair of shoes on 1st Nov - check these bad boys out

    http://www.schuh.co.uk/womens-black-and-purple-schuh-prince-court-glitter/1137158960

    Now I like high heels and sparkly stuff, but even these are a bit high for me. Still, at least I will have the pram to hang onto whilst I navigate round the cobbles of my wee town. Also, after looking at the reviews it seems as though the age range of these is 16-18....... I am 40:rotfl::rotfl:


    TBN - love the shoes, there just gorgous. :T:T:T

    I don't take any of it personally MT, so don't worry. You have every right to rant, but the way I see it... it will die a death like any other thread. People will get bored, not subscribe, it will drop to bottom pages, etc.

    You feel free to come and rant here anytime about anything you like.


    Tatcos - made a complaint on behalf of work colleague, 4 emails later from 4 different people :eek:, letter turns up with no money card! :eek: so she is putting another one in post tomorrow. Now that is customer service :D
