Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
Hey what about me?! I already said i agreed with you!!
Not that i am saying that anyone should not be posting or that what is being posted is not valid - but when you read through this thread it just seems a little... odd(?) ... Can't quite put my finger on it...
Maybe it us just us paranoid people!!

I'm looking forward to seeing this programme too. I watched No Going Back and Globetrekkers today for about the 10th time!

I'm really puzzled as to what your problem is Arkon! So they are plugging the TV show - so what! Not that they needed to as previous experience has shown any show like that gets lots of threads. They've all joined the site and are contributing to it. I'd rather that than blatant spammy adverts.

I think its because we are all watching out for trolls etc on the site (i am not implying that this is the case.lol!!) but over the time on the forum we become a little wary. I dont think any harm was meant from arkon - just airing their views and checking out they were the genuine article.
This is meant by no means a 'dig' at anyone. Just a suggested explanation of the situation. x
By the way - am glad the newbies are on the forum - its a little more personal isnt it seeing the build up for them as their show is approaching. I have already put it in my planner on autoview for next week and have set it to be recorded for OH (he will be in work). Really looking forward to it.
Anyway folks - said my bit.
Good Luck to all those in the programmes - we would love to do it and were approached by someone to be involved and they took a further interest in us too asking for photos etc...we said it wasnt the right time for us - but they are now interested in when we actually get over there - not sure if its another programme thats coming through the pipeline, but they have kept our details anyway and have asked if they can get in touch just before we move. Hey ho.

Good luck to everyone in the programme. Will have to see if I can work out how to set the video to record it as we would love to see it.

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
I think that's an awful thing to suggest, I for one, am not on the programme, I live on a small island on the west coast of scotland, and I've never met a media type person in my lifey!!

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
This is one of the reasons why GREAT Britain is losing its shine...Why cant we all just relax and enjoy the show and look forward to living our dreams in the sun without the PC (politicaly correct) attitudes adopted in this country. Why does there always have to be a problem. If we all just relax and concern ourselves with our own sphere of iffluence then we would all be as laid back as our new friends down under!! chill... i too am a new poster and i am not plugging anything...just in case.

Oh my god! Another one. It's like invasion of the bodysnatchers. I'm only keeping this up because it amuses me, eventually when enough Borg drones create logons and post only in this thread some of the other more trusting people might also start to notice something smells like a drunk clergys cod piece.

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
As for trolls
Good definition here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
And this is from a previous post by Jonahs_Mummy
"An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He/she tries to start arguments and upset people.
Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.
Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.
Perhaps this sounds inconceivable. You may think, "Surely there is something I can write that will change them." But a true troll can not be changed by mere words."
We Mods spend a lot of time trying to track and eliminate posts by trolls who come on here specifically to cause trouble, or to post under multiple names, leaving spam and junk all over the forum.
Hope this helps

I really hate to say this as you and I usually agree on things, but please stop being so off-putting to new posters. I suggest you get off this thread and stop being so unpleasant.

I know "Hoppity" (Jones family) from another board long before they made an appearance here on BE. And B@lDeR$ (Larner family) are real too.
When the programme starts next week, it would be great to chat with the participants on here about it. I just hope you haven't scared them away with your usual spoilsport tactics!
