Good morning all :-)

It's pouring with rain here............... :-( :-(

Glad OH's niece has been 'sorted' Sylvia - I expect she will be kept in for a few days and then - home ? Does she have much travelling to do to get there?

Thanks for the lovely breakfast <3

Hi Dea

It's about 15 hours on the road ................. they usually do what we do, spend at least one night on the road.

They had already booked a hotel, in the largest town in the North, so they could do some shopping, and staying 1, or possibly 2, nights.

I think they were leaving this weekend, Saturday or Sunday .............. and don't think she'd be able to do much driving.



I'm off to bed now



night night xxxx

Good morning all..... :-D


Thank you for breakfast Sylvs...... <3



I don't think you'll be using your new garden toys today Linds......not round here anyway..... :-(


Set off for my annual 'fasting' blood test just before 7.30am............I thought I was early, but there were 11 people in front of me..... :-S


Anyway, at least I can now have my breakfast........and it doesn't look as though any walking will get done today. :-(


Appendix - I had mine removed when I was 10 - 6 months after my father had had HIS removed!! If I remember rightly, they kept you in hospital for about 10 days back then and I don't remember anything about bed shortages.........??


Off for a browse...~~~

Attention all Troll spotters.

Listed below you will find details of some of the tactics used by Internet Trolls who lurk in the shadows of forums and social websites where they deliberately try to disrupt normal proceedings. You may recognise some ploys that have been used on these boards recently. The best course of action when a Troll is spotted is to ignore their posts entirely since they crave attention and lack of it persuades them to go back down their hole. ;-)

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF TROLLING AND WHY THEY ARE SO EFFECTIVE

Digressing from the topic at hand, especially onto sensitive topics. Not necessarily overtly argumentative, this tactic frustrates its targets with its pointlessness and circularity. Digression onto sensitive topics triggers the strongest reactions.

Hypocriticising, especially for a fault that the critic then displays him/herself. A simple tactic, often this is pedantic criticism of grammar, spelling or punctuation in a post which itself contains proof-reading errors to provoke exasperated responses from others.

Antipathising, by taking up an alienating position by asking pseudo-naive questions, for example. This tactic is heavily reliant on deceiving the group it is aimed at and covertly manipulates egos, sensitivities, morals and feelings of guilt, usually to trigger emotional responses. It can also create moral dilemmas.

Endangering others by giving dangerous advice such as encouraging risky behaviour. A trolling strategy designed to masquerade as help or advice while actually causing harm and/or forcing others to respond to prevent harm. It relies on the target’s social responsibility and moral obligation.

Shocking others by being insensitive about sensitive topics or explicit about taboo topics. This appears to succeed mainly due to the strength of feeling provoked by the deeply personal and extraordinarily hurtful nature of the troll’s insensitivity. It triggers a desire to retaliate that is stronger than the desire to deny the troll the satisfaction of a response.

Aggressing others by insulting, threatening, or otherwise plainly attacking them without adequate provocation. This is open and deliberate aggression without any clear justification with the aim of antagonising its target into retaliating.

Crossposting - sending the same offensive or provocative message to multiple groups then waiting for the response. The message sent by the troll in this tactic is totally off topic and irrelevant. This deliberately careless ‘spamming’ tactic can result in potentially thousands of users being inundated with unwanted or irrelevant messages.
