    This board has been a barren, joyless place since He left.

    A slightly early Merry Chrismas & a Happy New Year to all 'sane' posters on here.

    I've particularly enjoyed the random opinions (in no particular order) of the following;

    Generali Pobby
    Thruglmir Purch
    StevieJ Chucky
    Really2 Graham Devon
    FC123 PasturesNew
    Vivatifosi Mr Mumble
    Sjaypink lostinrates
    Carolt Dopester
    Edinvestor lemonjelly
    wookster single sue
    johnny bravo tomterm

    plus those posters who added to the spirit of the place but no longer post (ad9898 and !!!!!!?, neverdespairgirl)

    I've enjoyed plenty of your posts, and particular thanks to those of you who have responded to specific requests for opinions & help.

    I go into a fairly busy period at work for the next couple of months so my time is a bit limited, but I doubt if I'm the only one who thinks this board is dying a slow death recently. Its getting a lot more difficult to filter the pearls of wisdom from the dross.

    Apologies if I have missed anyone from this list - I will no doubt go back to the realms of 'lurkers' but may chip in again if things pick up.

    Hopefully more 'Au revoir' than goodbye.

    Have a happy christmas, and new year. Personally, I plan to disappear as well when the economy goes into its first Q of positive growth. All the posts saying 'this time its different' and 'house prices will RISE, RISE FOREVER" just get boring after a while.

    haha, that's exactly the expression that I told my girlfriend when I described you - you mention me every three posts you're like Roland Rat on a bunsen burner

    Bye Kenny. Thanks for putting me on your list :)

    I'll be here less now, I'm "going walkabout" as the saying goes .... until Easter.... so my time here will be sporadic and unpredictable ... but when I do, people can still expect the same non-informative drivel from me.

    Kenny is obviously anti Scottish:p

    Mctavish livens this place up. ISTL loves his stats and figures and good old me, the 1 that survived the ''worst recession in history'' with a profit:eek:

    :xmastree::xmastree::xmastree::xmastree::santa2::santa2: It's an emoticon fest tonight.

    I am with PN......Thanks for being on the list (I never knew narcissstic, therapy posts could be so popular).

    This is my Xtra busy time of time year. Designing/making and selling pointless garments consumes lot's of brain space unfortunately.:o

    I will make time tonight for a thread or 2 (LIR's where are we now?) but, recently, haven't been able to muster up much energy so have been slumping on Dopestars 'Media Pimp my Bling House'' thread just looking at the nice pictures........

    Today was 'Hemming Solutions'' to a very weird shape (but very nice on) and it was The Most Stressssfull day ever.

    Also, in my defence, I have A V Important meet up (10 mins only) next Monday so have had a whole weeks strife to create something to squeeze into 10 bling minutes of presentation...which could double my T/O if it comes off.

    Dear me..there is racial stereotyping ( acceptableish as an adjective, sometimes, like ''All Polish Workers work hard'' but not 100% true as there must be some not so hardworking Polish people about) and then there is outright racism...I am not going to write an example and then there is just bluergh....I mean....woi cares where Hamish and ISTL come from. Judgements are made on what they write, not where they live or originate from. Perleeeeze.

    I'm sure there are one or two names missing from this list, but I just can't think who...
