    Oh thank goodness, I was beginning to think that instead of the sparkling wit that you appear to be, you are really a boring old f@rt :confused:

    Oh well then, if people are shy I had better rethink my outfit ... I was going to adorn my cuddly 22 stone frame in a cute dayglo orange thong matched with a lime green tie ... that along with a good rubbing of crisp and dry would have given me a nice sheen for posing while strutting round the bar ... guess it just has to be jeans and shirt then - and there was me hoping to pack my night time outfit in my back pocket.

    I don't care about your first world problems; I have enough of my own!

    To any new users reading this thread following the link in the Email Tips, please just ignore Ivan, he is from NI so that will excuse him :rolleyes:

    As I am sure you can glean from reading this far that a few of us know each other and hence the banter but most of the people who have said they will be coming on 1 September won't know a soul, just like you, but we are a friendly bunch and every attempt will be made to make all feel welcome.

    and while I might bend a few ears about reducing your telephone charges, we actually won't be talking MSE all the time!
