    Me? No, I'm not a real person at all, just a figment of your imagination. I find life is more comfortable like that.
    I believe that friends are quiet angels
    Who lift us to our feet when our wings
    Have trouble remembering how to fly.

    monnagran Is your mouth like mine - turns down at the corners? I try to make sure I have a pleasant look on my face when i go out, or I look a right miserable old boot :rotfl:

    CHS doesn't do conversation, he complains about work and the weather, any opening conversational gambit I offer are met with either a blank stare or seen as permission to launch into another tirade about work.
    Whilst I do know you are all real, deepest apologies for insinuating that you aren't. I was very excited to have a real life/real time conversation.

    We are having problems moving on to our next mooring as the river levels are still very high so I phoned the CRT and was told not to worry, we can stay put until the levels drop.
    Chin up, Titus out.

    Monna your senior scout are called Young Leaders, unless they were just leaders or they could have been Venture Scouts. It depends how old they were.

    MMF007 you do have talent you just need to practice every day. I love the bluebell wood.

    Ooh Marks' tea :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:
    I think I drank 2 large pots. And the scones... I think the scones are off my menu now! Tea isn't though, and I can put cream in it :D

    I'll be over mid September if you're up for a rematch?

    Monnagran, some of my most favourite people have been figments of my imagination. Saves on birthday gifts too.
    Softstuff- Officially better than 007

    Ah, this is one of the occasions when I wish I lived far enough North to be able to say "I'll come!" :D
