it was called french skipping in our neck of the woods - funny how so many games have slightly differnt names depending on where youre from.
did anyone else do the tennis ball in a sock game where you stood with your back to a wall singing rhyms while you swung the ball around over your shoulders between your legs and side to side etc bouncing it off the wall (cant remember the words to the rhymes)
i was rubbish at "two balls" but my mates were brill at that - where you sang while bouncing two tennis balls off a wall and catching them sort of like juggling against a wall.

Yes! except we used one leg from a pair of tights Also cats cradle and french ropes (elastic bands tied together)

Off to hopefully get some of the newborn kits from A and try the vits at Boots - don't hold out much hope for Boots though as it's tiny with no SS tills

Hi all you elite 11-plussers (and lurkers), especially HC; hope you're keeping well, young man.

I will just add before going back to catching up for a bit that I have been most touched by the affection and support shown by all the 'elite 11+' for our friend HappyChappy84. :T :T

As a Moderator and Admin on a couple of 'techie' boards on the net I regularly see first hand 'disciplinary' cases like this. I know that lifetime bans must always be the very, very last resort. I'm quite shocked to see that the forum team have decided a lifetime ban is appropriate in Happy's case, especially given of some of the abuse I see posted (over and over again) by the same old faces in some of the other areas of the board; the Benefits, Praise and Vents, and Discussion Time boards, in particular.

Come on, Forum Team, same rules for all, please. Let the young fella back on the board.

Come back soon, HC, you're sorely missed by many.

OB (Humbled by my mighty 4/10 on yesterdays "what do you know about Americans you've never heard of?" quiz )

Totally agree. Please decision makers....he's learned his lesson and if he's allowed back we'll slap his wrist at the first sign of any untoward language.
Let this thread be the HAPPY thread it was!!

How about we start a petition and collect votes to bring HC back?

Yet again, thanks to everyone, I FINALLY got on the Boots vitamin glitch yesterday. The SA didnt want to complete the transaction (no SS tills), he asked the team Manager who said 'yes' but still wouldnt do it! He said 'he doesnt know what hes on about'! A bit more huffing from me and an ultimatum to either complete the sale or refuse me and he did it! Hoping the madness of the 75% sale might mask another transaction!
