    Blimey sid, you got out of bed on the wrong side this morning didn't you. Who's having a pop? The OP posted a thread complaining about football comps, I suggested they scrolled past them if they didn't want to enter them. Seems a pretty reasonable solution to me. If any one is having a pop at anyone it's you having a pop at me so I'd thank you to apologise and I'll brush this under the carpet and forget about it.

    :rotfl: You also added that they were complaining about comps on a competition forum? Like you have never done that :rotfl:
    Apology ? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I'm not sure you'll be able to get a big enough magnifying glass to find that miniscule carpet. Anyway i'm off for a weekend away so i'll leave you all to your trolling toodlepips

    Sid, a few points
    1) I'm not the one trolling. You clearly are though by taking this thread off topic and being rude and insulting to other members, which is in breach of MSE forum rules.
    2) No, I haven't complained about competitions being posted ever. In fact I have repeatedly said on this forum that people who moan about competitions that they don't like (be that Raffllecopter's, Twitter comps, Mag Daily's or in this case Football competitions) should scroll past them rather than get stressed about them. This forum is for everyone and there will obviously be comps that they / you don't want to enter. I don't feel the need to start a thread about it though. I, wait for it.... scroll past them and move on to a comp I wish to enter.
    3) I wasn't aware I needed a new carpet. Granted, the cat does like a good scratch but there's plenty of life left in them yet.
    4) Have a good weekend away. I shall miss your attempts at trolling though.

    Look guys, this is mental. The OP started a thread having a light hearted pop about something. MaineBlue responded in the same way. And HELLO-OH, have you ever read MaineBlue’s posts? You’d be hard pushed to find one where he wasn’t engaging in friendly banter.

    Convo last night between me and the Hublet:

    Him: I can’t find my keys
    Me: have you tried…opening your eyes and looking?

    That’s the same tone as used by the OP and by MaineBlue. Unless people think I was trolling my husband – EEK!

    This should be nipped in the bud. The real issue is that typed words are easier to misinterpret than spoken words. That’s all that’s happened here.

    Although, now I think about it, all those times that MaineBlue has spoken about Jose Mourinho parking the bus – hmmm perhaps he is a troll after all :eek::eek::eek:

    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
