Hi is it me or is there some dodgy people on here now?

[SquirrelsHolt]

Hi there 🙋‍♀️ soul-123. What do you mean when you say "dodgy people" on this forum now? 🐿🌈

[soul-123 in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

I saw a post about drugs and reported it.

[SquirrelsHolt in reply to soul-123]

Oh , now i understand why you made the commemt about dodgy people. From reading your replies i see that the nasty individual soon got deleted from the site. Always worth reporting anyone who could be up to no good eh? 🐿🌈

[Hidden]

Just report. either through their profile or the comments made.

[RoadRunner44]

What makes you think that! I'm baffled by your comments.

[soul-123 in reply to RoadRunner44]

post re drugs

[sassy59]

Not sure what you mean soul. Best to report if you’re concerned. Xxxx

[soul-123 in reply to sassy59]

Thanks i did it was regarding drugs.

[Badbessie in reply to sassy59]

At around 0530 yesterday a profile joined the group and immediately posted a link to an illegal drugs site.....giving a price range for a number of opiate based medications and other substances. Obviously I and others reported the individual. He was on here for around 1 and half hours before removal.

[sassy59 in reply to Badbessie]

Yes I reported that post too Bb. We don’t need people like that on here. Xxx

[Katinka46]

This morning someone posted twice advertisements for illegal drugs. They were ignored and disappeared very promptly, I assumed the moderators expunged them.

[sassy59 in reply to Katinka46]

Oh yes I saw that and reported it. Glad the post was deleted. Xxxx

[NannyNooNoo in reply to Katinka46]

I noticed those too!

[O2Trees]

Im probably dodgy in some people's eyes soul-123, but Ive been here a long time!

[teenieleek in reply to O2Trees]

Me too!

[sassy59 in reply to O2Trees]

Never O2! Lol xxxxx

[skischool in reply to O2Trees]

i will second that. x

[O2Trees in reply to skischool]

Hahaha! So you're seconding what I said, not what the lovely Carole said, Skis!?

Be nice to me - Ive just had horrid evening coughing and coughing, all because of a tickle in my throat caused by non infected runny mucus. Unusual but seems better after taking couple of paracetamol to numb the tickle. And now Trump being taken to hospital. Mad world. xx

[skischool in reply to O2Trees]

Being admitted to probably one of the worlds best medical facilities.and probably being transfused as i type with proud boys covid survivors blood he will no doubt be vocal in the morning,long before your cough subsides Jean,should i send air force 2 scruffy airlines to whip you off to a similar location for treatment. xx

[O2Trees in reply to skischool]

No proud boys' blood for me Mike, rather take my chances. It's a dry cough for covid isnt it? This one is very wet. Think I need some Fishermen's Friends. Planning to spend a night on the sofa and watch developments in the U.S. I love Katty Kay who is commentating for the Beeb.

How are you this evening? xx

[skischool in reply to O2Trees]

I am fine.just waiting for the return of the Scruffy one from her nightime adventure,(bingo she is back)now i shall settle into a gentle alcoholic induced haze drifting off to the adventures of bob mortimer and paul whitehouse's muses on life whilst gone fishing. xx

[O2Trees in reply to skischool]

I heard about that programme recently - havent tried it yet. So enjoy. My coughing has abated thank heavens. Wishing us all, you me and Scruffs, a decent night. xxx

[skischool in reply to O2Trees]

[watergazer in reply to O2Trees]

Me too O2Trees- Coughing in the night with a definite tickle and mucus at the back of my throat. x

[O2Trees in reply to watergazer]

Hard if that happens regularly - it doesnt happen much to me, not to that extent anyway. That tickle made me cough which made more mucus which kept the tickle going. I tried my flutter device which normally works well but not for runny stuff, so no good. Finally took Paracetamol in the hope it would blunt the tickle which it kind of did. Rita has gone to pharmacist for Fishermen's Friends - I dont like them but remember them numbing the mouth and throat.

Since members have such difficult lung issues/conditions to deal with I sometime wonder if the throat gets a bit left out. But I may be wrong about that. You take care xx

[watergazer in reply to O2Trees]

I was ok after a while I find fishermen friends help Take carexx

[O2Trees in reply to watergazer]

You too, xxx

[AndrewT in reply to skischool]

Dear skischool,

I'll 'Third' it.... BUT I Don't think it is US, that soul-123 is 'talking' about.

I Think, if we think about this question, we DO know the 'Sort' that is being referred to.

Some 'People' and I use that term 'loosely' here.... seem to derive Pleasure from 'Upsetting' others, either by a Scam (normally Theft) or by Spreading (untrue) Rumours/ Stories or by being Highly Insulting- at a Personal Level. You have seen, and heard, the sort..... That person, in the Pub, Club or Restaurant who insists in Shouting Insults, at the Dis-abled Person, or the Girl- in the 'dirty' Yellow Dress.

This did actually 'Happen' to me, some years back now, in a Fish & Chip shop- near to were I was living. A Man, for absolutely NO apparent reason, started to 'Bad Mouth/ Pick' On me. To begin with I ignored his 'Overtures' until, that is he Threatened Violence.

Fortunately the owner Michael, who I knew quite well, realised my 'Plight'.... and..... Almost immediately- Michael himself, along with all Four of his Staff, were 'Resting' themselves on the Service Counter. It was 'Politely But Firmly Explained', to the Perpetrator, that ANY Violence would be 'Dealt With' VERY quickly indeed. The man 'muttered' something, or the other, before leaving. Michael, having first explained 'everything' to the other Diners, locked the Front Door for about fifteen minutes.... by which time, this man had gone. I never saw, that man, again.... I'm Happy to say.

[skischool in reply to AndrewT]

I think somehow you are confusing a reply i sent to O2trees with the main post Andrew but no problem and i am glad you came out of your unpleasant encounter unscathed.

[O2Trees in reply to skischool]

Im glad you're distinguishing Mike! Maybe Andrew does consider me dodgy - he wouldnt be the first lol xx

[soul-123 in reply to O2Trees]

lol x

[Snowdrops_17]

It's always good to report dodgy people! Can't believe it, honestly, advertising for illegal drugs! Glad it's been nipped in the butt straight away! Well, drugs like these, no thank you! Never touched drugs or smoked cannabis!

I had splitting headache all day, hope it goes by tomorrow morning before going to work again! My head feels like being in a vice! 🤔👍 Enjoy your evening whatever is left of it guys! Bless you 🙏🌈

[Hidden in reply to Snowdrops_17]

Check with 111 if you have other symptoms. Loss of taste or smell, temperature, continuous cough etc. Don't go to work if unwell.

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to Hidden]

I know it's a cold Bkin, I don't have a cough or sore throat and no fever! I asked others at work also! They have headaches as well since wearing their facemasks, and it does make me very hot whilst washing gastro trays, pots and pans and dishes! It's hard to work in a kitchen restaurant environment! But I will keep an eye on it definitely! Can't afford being ill really! I have been very careful and isolate at home as much as possible when not working! But I do find that mentally very challenging now! 🌈🙏 Must go back to sleep 😴

[Mooka]

Yep I was ‘followed’ by someone claiming to be a doctor. He had posted he was here to answer everyone’s questions. I reported him and he was kicked out but no doubt came back under a different name.

[O2Trees in reply to Mooka]

Yes Ive had that Mooka. And people do come back under a different name. But reporting is important - a Stitch in time saves nine as they say.
