Hi Dawn :):) I can remember the first day I ever posted. It was at the time of the My Doom Virus which was affecting thousand upon thousands of users accross the world.. I had never posted before but was looking at the General Chat board and see people having trouble with the virus. I dont think I even introduced myself that day but came in with what to do and how to deal with things. If you can imagine people were being cut off every sixty seconds and a little panicky, well I was pannicky anyway. The second lot of postings see me on Ray Caseys Poets Pot where I entered my first poems and found a friend in Ray :):) Colin :):)

And soooooooo in possession of 1851, 1861 and 1871 census CDs lol. Seems ages ago now that I got the 1841 and got inundated with lookup request on Gen Topics. All that trawling !! So glad it's all name indexed now - however badly :-)
