Sometimes it doesn't have to be a deep debate that makes me smile, it is just somebody saying 'hello' or 'hi', as you would if you met a well loved friend, it is the familiarity of it that i like. I don't sit glued to the keyboard/screen all day but am doing other things in the same room and checking occasionally to see if anyone is around, I also don't stick to one board, i go on chat, gen and Tips.

Hello lovely peeps,

So nice that there are some people who are willing to step up to the mark and just post and be damned.

They take our money this website so they can bleeding well cope with humans doing what we always do..... debate mostly in a nice way.

It's when the silly beggers who are only here for their own warped entertainment raise their heads that we have the problems.

Perhaps the next owners will sort that out.... we live in hope.

You're probably right Hayley, it has lost a certain URRFFFF lol

To be honest, I don't think it's down to who posts, the more the merrier. it's down to who doesn't post anymore. When general was at its best, we couldn't keep up with the posts. There were topics to keep everyone amused.

It may be down to the holidays though.

Right off to do some climbing up that tree.....

Hope you find your missing rellie......which area by the way?

You're very kind to ask, Hayley. My dear Aunty Hayley was 75 I think and she had a lovely day and sent me a nice thank you note for the shawl and blue rinse kit:)))) Yes reallly reallly too busy plus had a visitor in me bleeding spare room so couldn't even access the pc for days:)

Oh Aileen, it's worth renewing on here *just* for the twats and spats LOL

Hello you boring old.....(f) (t) arts!

I just press the computer button when I get home and there you all are..... bliss.

Like an old pair of drawers or slippers! Take your pick what category you come into.

There is something quite nice about this site. Despite all the stupid aggro and the twats who haunt it, I will always renew.

Met a handful of people on here personally, the majority are just words on a screen but after almost five years the familiar names still bring a smile to my face and one day I hope I will meet you all as you come across as just normal.

Oh bugger, it has started to rain and I just put out my holiday drawers on the line... must rescue them.

Not really posting and not even really reading anymore to be honest.

Several years ago I wandered onto General (as it was then) from the genealogy boards and sort of stayed. I forgot about my genealogy to a certain extent.

However, I wandered off chat the other week & seem to have rediscovered my roots and the joy of looking for ancestors. I feel like a Newbie again.

No offence to anyone but I'm enjoying my "new found" hobby again more than my time on chat.

I don't know, maybe my time on chat has come to an end.

Mainly just read, Hayley; and have stepped down from football threads as I saw someone does them on chat.
