It's beyond my remit to deal with inappropriate or contentious (or potentially contentious) posts. Those must be reported to the Forum Team to deal with so I suspect somebody may have reported some of them.

Thanks, anyway, I shouldn't have brought it up. Lets leave it there.

Yet your post offering an M&S voucher wasn't deleted. Hmmmmmm why is that?

Not sure what was hypocritical about my post. I knew there were posts that were bordering on being against the "rules" but they were still there so I was actually very confused as to what had gone on. After you posting however I find a post of mine was deleted and you were the only person able to read it and for quite a while the only person to thank the mod who did it so I naturally wondered

And for the record, I clicked the link to my post you quoted within a minute of you posting and it had gone. You must have excellent timing

Me, I'm not a believer in coincidences.

Can you pair give it a rest please. You had buried the hatchet and its sad to see you bickering again....chill out and be happy, life is too short and we all have enough real life sh*t to deal with without falling out with our cyber buddies.

evening all....hope everyones had a lovely weekend and those that have been to Ts have got lots of goodies!! I've not been all weekend so off tomorrow to stock up on alcohol for our new years eve party!!

I'd just like to thank Redfox for doing their job..and giving us lots more freedom than other board guides do.....to those that dont like the rules, tough...they're there...by breaking them its likely to get the thread closed. Whether you think they're right or wrong doesnt matter and its not up to the BGs to change the rules to suit us!

Any product offering a code/voucher etc designed to be redeemed against merchandise are, in the manufacturers eyes designed for the person who bought the product...so trading them is technically against their rules as well as MSE's. I'm sure regular people are aware of other regulars who collect specific codes...if so they can just PM them...saves all the arguments on here! Failing that, I'm sure if people asked their 'real life' friends they'd find someone who was collecting them!! And lastly...can we all take our personal disagreements to PM instead of the backbiting that reappears on here every so often? Most of us are adults on here, if you dont like something, just ignore it...or add the person to your ignore list At times I wonder if I'm on HUKD instead of MSE seeing some of the comments!!!

ok...rant over...am off to empty the boot of Fridays bargains to take pics for here...dont get too excited, theres nothing too amazing...although I think a couple of new finds!!

We could debate this till we're blue in the face but you still won't believe me, so I will let you continue with your sly digs because it makes no odds to me!:p

Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie.

I think I found a new glitch that hasn't been posted (or a good price drop anway altho sadly not a 1p one) - the dog poop bag rolls and holder had an sel of I think 2 pounds with a star on and scanned at 37p!!! Usefull for me as my pup is currently chewing everything including bags (unused i'd like to add), but hope it might help someone else too!

I MUST look out for that one - thanks MISSL :T

What is amazing me though is how someone can quote one of my posts when it has been deleted. Maybe they shot themselves in the foot and have all but admitted they reported the posts in question? I guess it doesn't matter now but I know who to thank on Xmas morning when my sons eyes light up at the new films he's getting. After the last 6 months, that smile means more than anything and no amount of anyone trying to ruin that will work.

Thank you redfox for being such a good guide on here. I appreciate your hands are tied and you have a job to do no matter how it comes about

Not getting into the 'argument' but it is totally possible to quote a post that is subsequently removed. If you click quote and then start typing your reply and the post is removed in the mean time, or even after you post, it will still show the quoted post. Nothing sinister about it

Well I'm from the Sunderland side, but I'm a magpie.

Dare I admit to this, sis and I are from Sunderland, We've been up here since I was 9. Mum and sis are still classed as newcomers in the village:rotfl: but I was a bit more 'accepted' due to working on the farm, meeting other farmers/farm services and picking up the doric lingo.

I consider myself Scottish though.

My family do come from S'land pre 1905 :rotfl: :rotfl: so perhaps that's why I support them :rotfl: :rotfl: Seriously, my first hubbie was from just east of Newcastle, on the 'right side of the watter' and he and his whole family supported Newcastle and I went along to several matches with them at St James' Pk. But when I remarried in 1981 and new hubbie supported The Black Cats, I switched allegiance and still support them

And that's why I said he had excellent timing

I'm not bothered by anything as I have better things to do in life than get upset by someone on here. I just wish that the "rules" were applied fairly across everyone hence my assumption that certain posts had been reported yet other more recent posts had been left untouched.
