    Morning guys.

    Just came on very quickly to apologise if I offended anyone with my comments last night (too many Reloadeds and Albalis).

    Unfortunately, I took a couple of people off 'Ignore' as they seemed to be behaving themselves recently (big mistake) and unfortunately I fed the trolls when they posted. Can confirm that their posts are now permanently hidden from view.:D

    The thread has been in a great place recently, exactly where it used to be, however last night descended into the fiasco that it was when certain PPR'd users were about.

    So, I am going to come right out and say it..

    Have you noticed how many of the regulars have been upset by recent goings on? Even worse, have you noticed how many of the regulars haven't posted for weeks? How many people feel so let down by the way this thread is going that they have been forced onto Facebook?

    It is time that we (as a collective group) put all the offenders on 'Ignore', then perhaps we can get back to normality. It is time that we get back our old thread where we can post about bargains, kids at Uni, Nikkilala's spelling of the word 'their', pictures of animals (that I can whizz past), Wacky's morning pics, etc, etc..

    If we all put these people on 'Ignore', hopefully they will eventually leave us alone and booger off and troll elsewhere.

    I am sure you all know the trolls about whom I am referring.:)

    Hi SFSB. Just to say I don't get offended by your posts as I can tell your intentions are good. In fact I don't get offended by any posts and just try to keep things in perspective. Perhaps I'm just so easy going and tolerant that it all goes over my head or in one ear and out of the other. I've never put anyone on ignore as it's easier just to skip things that I suspect are posted to get a reaction

    Can;t say that I've noticed much, if any, trolling of late and would tentatively suggest that people are getting too sensitive and paranoid about some things? It all seems a bit of handbags at dawn to me unless I'm missing something? Sorry to offend anyone if I'm making light of things that are causing real problems for some:cool:

    Morning everyone. Off to de-ice the car again:( Could do with one of the machines they use on the aircraft wings.
    Isn't it just oh so cold! I've taken to using cold water now. I pour it over knowing its only 5-6 degrees warmer than the windscreen. I then pour some warmer (not hot!) water over that to increase the temperature again by a few degrees. I guess I run the risk of cracking but at £70 glass excess, I'd do that in de-icer in 2 months around here! :rotfl:

    Morning, Tom. How goes your trails and tribulations whilst shopping?

    EDIT - Removed things not necessary to the thread.

    I would rather we just got on with warmth and money saving to be fair!
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    with the talk bout school plays our school charges its £2 per ticket , and £1 for raffles , the cost of the ticket in our school covers the kids xmas party with entertainment and food , last year was a happy meal type thing then party snacks in after noon ,


    i do understand out some-one not paying wuld it be possilbe to still ask for money i wuld if she booked in advance , or ask school for refund lol

    MIL is still paying for ticket, not just that, they dont see kids very often and is the first year that she has been bothered to ask about xmas play and DS2 was really looking forward to her coming to watch and it is that more than anything that is getting me.

    Good morning all, another poorly one here. I've been working like a madwoman lately with two jobs overlapping. I keep telling myself it's only until next Friday, so the end is in sight. Sadly it's meant very little time for glitches, though I do keep checking A for Sally if I'm in there anyway.

    Hope everyone has a great day. I'd love to dive back under the duvet now but have to get up and get to work :(

    Morning all:A


    THE COVE IS RED :mad::mad::mad:


    Absolutely heart breaking.

    Over five hours of captive selection from the killing cove and still going! 26 juvenile dolphins taken from their family and the trainers and killers are nowhere being finished...the kidnapping continues. Brutal and horrific. Please share our links with everyone you know who still supports captivity.
