We've had illness and injury I know, but it does seem unusually quiet on here. :cool:
I thought that too, I pop on in the afternoon and not a soul in sight. It's 3am just now and I'm wide awake. Been through to the toilet,then went to the kitchen and got an ice pack out of the freezer, now back in bed with it on my knee....Bliss. Ice fair draws the pain out.
good to hear, Raven :upvote: :upvote: :upvote:
I had a day out on Thursday, I was really tired yesterday! Must be an age thing :yell:
As the better weather comes it draws you to doing outside things. The last few days have been sunny and nice, though a bit chilly, but it would have had me out tidying the greenhouse or pulling a few weeds if the ground was soft enough.
It has been quiet on here for some time now.. I have tried putting up new threads over the weeks but there is little or no response so I take them down..
I do look over the 'other side'..
We started off fine.. but over the weeks some left or took others down..
Alfred was a prolific poster but he has been dealing with illness.. I doubt he will be posting again..
Crabby.. !!! Say no more... and we lost Zoony..
We are not easy to find.. Had we been, the group that found PF might have found us.. They certainly gave PF a much needed lift..
Klondike (Mark) has been great.. He certainly has put a lot of work into this site..
He too must notice it's decline.. I congratulate him for what he has tried to achieve..
I agree with everything you say Scrumpy, and I'm grateful to Mark too. But there just aren't enough regulars to regularly find something new and interesting to post. I hold my hands up, I'm a joiner in rather than a starter, but even the cryptic games I enjoy only have a couple of players.
I use both forums, like several of us, but prefer the feel of this one. The takeover of PF seemed just a bit quick to me, with the old regulars being somewhat pushed aside.
On a lighter note, Brian's definitely thriving 'over there'. Nothing new, just regurgitating more of the same old rubbish but to a bigger audience!
Brian must be 'over the moon'.. At the moment his posts are popular but they are beginning to twig on.. He will never fade away completely because he has no idea that he repeats himself.

There are people 'over there' that would fit in nicely on here.. and I would have liked to have seen that happen..
And instead I've just ambled by ... :smiley:
And you are very welcome Morty..
But a woman shouldn't be travelling on her own.. You should have brought some friends with you..
" The takeover of PF seemed just a bit quick to me, with the old regulars being somewhat pushed aside. "
I'm glad you said that GM as that's just how I feel about the Mother Ship ! :grin:
Sorry to hear Alfred isn't well, he was a real gent on both sites.
I did notice a few of you have tended to drift away ..... is it okay if I hang around here then?
There was no intention to 'push you aside' but I suppose as there were more newcomers posting than regular active old posters it did end up panning out that way.
I've not been on the Mother Ship for several Months now?
I noticed you'd gone ... and one or two others don't seem around as much. But that strange man is still there who lives in Birmigham and keeps bumping into strangers.
The more the merrier here Morty...... but s l o w l y :grin:
I don't think the newcomers intended to push us aside as you say, but that's what happened, because too many came all together and just talked to each other. It went on for ages, so oldies couldn't get a look in and had no idea who these people were. I can't do things fast these days :grin: :grin: so one or two newcomers at a time will suit me, dunno about everyone else ?

Brian takes a bit of getting used to. But love his posts or loathe them, you always end up having a peek. :embarrassed:

Sums it up really Alex.
When we moved over here from PF we took a few people with us..
I am sure that the newcomers who found us felt a little bit left out seeing that we all knew each other..
PF was a dead site anyway.. It only had a couple of regulars still posting when the invasion took place.. The invaders had very little choice other than to chat with each other.. They seem a friendly bunch and it takes time for people to accept and get to know each other..
I think a different mix of members is a good thing.. There will be those you like and others not so keen on.. That is the norm ..
I like it here.. I do pop over to PF and if I could bring them over here.. I would..
The only people that seem to have found this place recently are those that have been blocked by the anti spammer mod. Perhaps I should disable it :smiley:

Blimey .. We could have had a 'party' with THAT lot..
If you recall from your PF days where the mod wasn't and doubtless still isn't installed they do tend to be one post wonders.
It's a bit posh here isn't it?
I'm delving in the Messages section and see you can set Labels and stuff.
I like! :upvote:

We are very lucky here, full access to everything, even able to remove a post, though that can be a bit awkward at times if it is. :nooo:

I've just discovered something else new too ... never seen it on a forum before.
If you write 2 posts in a row ... it merges them together.

This made me laugh! A reply to a Brian thread -
'
Do you just make it up as you go along, or do you have one of those Random Phrase Generators?'
Somebody must be suffering from Alzheimers if they reckon Brian's posts are random.
There was a nastiness about many that really put me off Brian. Plus the outright blatant lies became tedious for me.
Brian is in fact a 17 year old spotty kid.
(https://i.postimg.cc/Nf2pQ74y/kevin.jpg)[/url]
Must have started young. He was getting reporting strange phone calls back in 2017 and doubtless earlier still
https://www.pensionersforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=8957.0
Stop wrecking my attempts at jokes !!!!!!!!!!
I have said before that I don't think Brian realises that he repeats himself again and again..
I stick by this.. I can't see anyone, who is 'all there' , doing what he does..
It would break my heart if he was my dad and people on a forum were really nasty to him..
I will be at Brian's back if that happens .. As I think most on here would..
Agreed, but he does sometimes push the wrong buttons for me, then I turn and growl. :angry:
He's cute, a bit eccentric but sometimes a tad over full of self-importance.
I wonder if he realises people are teasing him,
I don't think Brian notices that people are teasing him.. He likes a reaction and thinks he is popular..
He seldom responds to other threads or answers other topics..
All he cares about is money and how much he has.. he is selfish.. But he loves his dogs.. and children..
I sometimes wonder if he might be a lonely man with no family nearby..
