Spam

Mod post:

We get a lot of spam posts on this forum, and there has been rush of them over the weekend!  I'm just popping in quickly so haven't got round to tracking them all down and deleting them, so feel free to flag them up if you see them.   The most obvious ones are new members asking about contacting administration.  Deleting the users and posts doesn't seem to stop the flow, unfortunately, but it does tidy things up and mean that we only see posts from geniune members.

Apologies for getting behind on them, and thank you for your patience. Thank you also for reporting any suspicious posts which some of you have done, and thank you to the other mods for deleting them!. 

I hope you are all safe and well.

Re: Spam

It's OK, Liberty! I appreciate that you still check in. I've been checking in on the forum even when there hasn't been anything new and it's too bad there's been so much spam lately.

Re: Spam

While I know a lot of old songs and have seen some Monty Python, I must admit I was not familiar with the song, but I just looked it up, so now I have heard it!

Re: Spam

The added context being that Spam was very much a Brit staple food, for those of us growing up within a certain period!

Re: Spam

Once you've heard it, you can never unhear it, Yitzock!  Yes, fondly remembered as a food.  Am I allowed to say I liked it?

Re: Spam

Thanks for the thread, Liberty. I just took down some more. Although we are not as active as before we should not let the forum drown in spam. As for the song, now I will have to check it out. But not the food.

Re: Spam

Yes, I would certainly give the food a miss!

Re: Spam

Spam is basically just all the bits of meat that aren't sold in other cuts, right? Mashed up together? It sounds like a good idea from the point of view of reducing waste, but based on what I've seen I can understand why the texture would not be to everyone's taste!

Re: Spam

To be fair, no meat would suit this veggie!

Yep, me too. I am a vegetarian. And it does not really sound enticing. But the video was very funny.

Re: Spam

I've just had another clear out in preparation for a New Year.  So many spam, spam, spams that I'd missed, sorry!  Hopefully we have a tidier forum now in preparation for 2022.  I just need to get working on my house next, ha ha!
Wishing you health and happiness in in the New Year!

Yes I'm just back from visiting the Italian family and catching up with your 'winter clean', Liberty!
