So many new members suddenly!!

I didn't say what type it was, just that I'd got one. Mountains & music.

Welcome back Tom

Tom, I've always been struck by the similarity between you and Julie Andrews.

Nice One

Hi Tom how did the move go?(assuming you have moved) Never seen you looking better (not).
As the great man said "are there any paranoids in tonight?"
Still think some of the newbies get short thrift sometimes.

Maybe it's because they have indethipherable nameths?

Stands for Pete (who was already here when I registered)

And he only appears occaisionally in the music room. He was a great contributer in his day.

OK, if you change the "Jez" in your name to "Stan" and the "Quigley" to "Ogden".

What are the newbies to think???

Welcome to ... I am not entirely sure but I have been around for a while and am still here ... nurse!

Ok Manky, it's a deal.

Regards, Stan.

You can't just say it Jez. You have to BE Stan. String vest, eleventy pint gut, stroke induced mumble, Hilda's "muriel", the lot. Are you sure you can you make that kind of commitment ? Frankly, I don't think you (or any of your mudflap pals for that matter) could pull it off

Minky,

Consider yourself lucky mate! Compared to my posts, yours are announced by a scantily clad lady of Jordan-esque proportions accompanied by "Entry Of The Gladiators". Major cities hold tickertape parades. Fireworks coruscate across the sky. Strong men weep and women swoon. When you sign off, the combined choirs of St. Paul's and Westminster Cathedral sing Alleluias.

I'd be lucky to get an intro from Hans Moleman while tumbleweeds blow across the screen to the sound of a broken shutter banging in the wind.

Hey Winky, I always read your posts, just only rarely reply to them. We'll miss you when you're gone, maybe.

Nick, I think you may have mistaken me for Messers Robinson, Parry, and the other members of the "Mudflap gang", but thanks for giving my household a big laugh to start us on our working week.

As Tom has just pointed out, just because you don't get replies doesn't mean that you are being ignored. When I see "Nick Lees" on a post I always read it because I know that it'll be worth the effort.

I think we both have yet to come to terms with the (less than dynamic) dynamics of social life in cyber-space.

P.S. The whistling wind blowing the tumbleweed across the stage after the weekly "bad joke" in "shooting stars" had me rolling round the floor with laughter every week. Sad eh ?

Hallo Minky,

and welcome to the forum, I hope you'll enjoy-HANG ON! over a thousand posts!

I must have been a sleepin'

Regards

Brian (Gang of one).

PS Have you considered changing the "k" in your name for a "t" ?
It might keep things fresher.

Replacing the "M" with a "K" might have the same effect !!!

Minky,

You're very kind, but ah...if I could sing like Paul McCartney, or get funky like Etta James (or write posts like throbnorth), I'd never change...bonus quiz point for the source of the plagiarism.

BTW, does the entire population of NZ subscribe to this site?

It's nice to know I wasn't the only one to roll around laughing every week.

P.S. Have you tried the Asics DS Trainer with IGS?

Nick,

YES.

count.d,

I'm wearing 2090's at the moment. One month old and already starting to feel a bit flat. <disingenuous question>I wonder why the boffins at Asics can't come up with a midsole material that lasts as long as the outer ?</di>

Tom--

As if number of posts qualifies someone as a newbie...I don't recall you on the original forum...

I already wear the vest on a daily basis, in fact I haven't taken it off at all in 30 years, but it is getting a little tight around the eleventy pint gut.

As for 'pulling it off' I have been doing that since I was 10.
