Guest Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Martin - maybe a Mod can help here.. I wonder if you are giving away more info than I'd be happy with my kids giving out on the net.. I now now your first name and surname and what town you live in... It wouldn't take long to find your address and telephone number... better safe than sorry, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 ! I thought it would hide it, I'll go and edit it. I don't mind people knowing my seocnd name but I will change it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Blogger now won't let me sign in so I can edit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm now just Martin B. Where does it say my Location Phil or is it because it's on my Omlet profile? Will change that too. However I didn't realise that my email would be my username so that is on display! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I knew it would have to be something drastic Martin! Countdown to the new one then..........?

Mrs Frugal Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Martin, I've edited your post so that the only thing anyone can see is "my blog" as a link rather than the real thing with your name on. Hope that's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I really don't have an opinion either way - but I would with my own children.. It's up to Martin and his parents how much info they want him to display on the web. Schools are usualy quite hot on warning pupils not to put any traceable info on there. Martin gives it away a bit in his blog title - his full name is the title of his blog which is then his blog address... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 At least that's not visible here anymore Phil. Well spotted and a good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Aren't you cheeky Martin, making people think you're getting rid of your hens!!! What a good guess that you'd hopefully be getting a Mark 2 for christmas!!! Hopefully I'll get my Mark 2 before you get your's this time. Also NO copying is allowed of my recycled hens idea!

Martin B Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well at the moment I'm being a bit cheeky. I buy 4 rolo ice creams from the corner shop for £1 and then sell them 50p each to my mates! I have about £20 already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Great news about the Mark 2 Martin I'm hoping for a Mark 3 myself.... but I might have to wait until Christmas 2008 at this rate Are you planning on more hens to fill the Mark 2?

Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 a cautionary tale... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6059726.stm (I'm dead easy to track down - a consequence of my job - and I regularly have nutters and weirdos knocking at my door...) I shall be a bit more careful about upsetting people on the Forum though.. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Martin.. a cautionary tale. A couple of teenagers who were/are firends of my neighbours son were suspended from school for selling sweets/snacks on to their friends. They were doing it to make money, obviously, but they were fed up with the queues at the school tuck shop, realised that everyone else was, and decided to go into business. They were taking business away from the school shop, and I think this is the crux of the matter. Anyway the whole thing got quite messy, so all I'm saying is...be careful.

Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 or fleecing your fellow pupils... actually schools often ban this kind of thing for perfectly reasonable reasons.. it so often leads to disputes about one pupil ripping off another.. most things with money changing hands amongst pupils are a recipe for trouble, and should be avoided...

ubereglu Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I now realise what a great idea Recycled hens is! I'm still doing it even though I have enough money for an eglu now as it's always nice to have the extra money and plus I'm going to give 10% of every sale to the BHWT!

Martin B Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 I don't sell things in school, it's too risky, The first sale I made me and one of my mates paid 50p each for 2 each and then I went outside and sold 1 of them to my other friend for 50p!
