    Personal choice really. I normally use my home number or if you don't wish to divulge the number ( worried about spam calls etc) you can put in 00000000000 or 07777777777 :)

    Thanks for the welcome :beer:
    I'm enjoying it so far thanks, no questions in particular. I just meant that the last 3 pages of this extremely useful thread have been clogged up with one persons questions about a particular quiz. :confused: Not very helpful to newbies

    I posted in this thread by mistake and will gladly apologise, but I think the tone of your post is a bit condescending and not appreciated. It doesn't hurt to be pleasant and give people the benefit of the doubt, and it makes this board a much nicer place to be!

    I searched for my previous post and have been simply posting here when I found it, and obviously the original post was intended for the discussion thread and was moved accidentally here - I didn't know it was actually on a tip thread myself.

    It would have been much more constructive to PM me to tell me rather than make unpleasant comments. I haven't been here that long myself but I personally think it is bad manners to jump onto a board and start telling off people who have been here a while longer.

    Milk of human kindness would be appreciated as you have spoilt the start to my weekend :(

    If you consider that to be an unpleasant post then you have lived a very sheltered life! I was more bemused than anything, and i dont think that your ramblings have cleared it up for me! You say you were searching for a previous post and was simply posting here when you found it :confused: sure :rolleyes:
    And if a throw away mark can spoil your weekend then i think you better keep of the forums! :eek:
