Great to be back among friends

Post by GeoffW »

Hi all, and thanks so much for the new board.

It's great to see so many old friends around- a part of the family I thought had split up permanently.

And especially good to see people I haven't seen for a long time.

Thank you for providing the new resource- I wish it all the best success.

Geoff,

I completely agree with your observation that it's "Great to be back among friends"

The one thing this board lacked over the last few days was people, and we all know that it's the people and the relationships that make somewhere home, so it's a complete pleasure for me to see so many of my old friends logging in and taking part.

Actually no.

But we do have food in our house as well, as surprising as that may sound :grin:

OMG does this mean I have to start all my new posts a Dude/Dood :duck:

I just love this new idea, I know someone has coughed up a bit of cash to do this so I will send you some of my Lounge Dollars I saved up. Who should I send the cheque to?
