Hello...

Hi There,

I spend a bit of time reading the many posts on this forum, and thought I would join up..

I am from Berkshire, currently working out in Germany, so enjoying the weak GBP for sending money home.. although worried about the state of the economy, as we all are, as my house has now gone into negative equity !!!!

    Hmm. I'd re-join with another name, if that is your own name. Its not always friendly, and unfortunately, not necessarily safe.

    But welcome. :)

    So do I, totally.

    but you might feel differently if someone threatened your child's life.

    You know, it really has. There are people here I really like....you know...like, would go out of my way to help if I could. Would have liked to meet for coffee with in Bristol, :) (or Brighton or Brick Lane ;) ) and I hate that the rose coloured glasses I wore are perhaps now the wrong prescription.

    I don't know, wasn't here, wouldn't have pretended to know when I was here. However, I have to say that of all the people here there was only one person whose 'real life' identity I knew, and I admit, that colours my opinion.

    Tim, I'm really sorry to have inadvertantly hijacked this, in all sincerity my comment was of concern not to create an ''issue'' here, welcome again.

    In respect to Tim if any one really feels the need to continue this, lets to it elsewhere :o

    ETA: actually I know who four people here are...lol, but I forgot that for a moment but though I'd correct for honesty
