    I thought that people were meant to post on here to be helpful and constructive - not argumentative?! :mad:

    Is there a way to end this thread?

    People do post constructive things on here, you just chose not to read them. You come across as slightly arrogant to me.
    And yes, ask for it to be closed by a moderator.
    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    By the way "knocking on the head" is only a figure of speach - it does not literally mean "make things vanish" or "reduce debt"

    It is a figure of speech, and it means to kill or to end. That is the meaning I've been taking it for.

    I'm sorry you feel this way, it just seems that i'm not getting advice from 1 or 2 particular people, just simply people 'having a go'

    and i know people are on the whole very useful and constructive, it's simply those few people that ruin it.

    arrogant is not the word, it's me sticking up for myself under fire from others!

    I am sorry then, this is not what i meant. I only got a B in GSCE English!

    I completely agree what what you're saying, and am 100% aware that i have in fact borrowed more which is usually not the best idea.
