A sense of gloom.. !!

[Scrumpy]

You mentioned on another thread  From Raven to You All   that there seems to be a sense of gloom on here now after everything was going well..
I think setting up something new takes a while to get established .. especially under the circumstances that were in place..
I also feel that the bickering that was gong on with Chris just went on and on..
We all knew that you were right and setting up this forum was not for self satisfaction  and at the very end I think even Chris realised this.. But it wasn't allowed to drop and that , in my opinion, was the wrong route to take..
We have also had early flounces.. Nothing new there.. 

  I think you are doing a great job and will support you all the way..

Thanks Scrumpy. It just seemed pretty dead here yesterday.

Daft as it seems I miss PF too. My fault entirely there but it just annoyed me that I'd added 4 non contentious posts, one from mid afternoon iirc,  and none had been authorised by the next morning so I put up one that was not non contentious.

Let it go..  You shouldn't be over 'there' anyway.. It just causes trouble.. and members don't like it.. 

I sometimes think that men really ARE thick skinned..

I sometimes think that men really ARE thick skinned.. 

Some have demonstrated that they aren't. Unfortunately.

men really ARE thick skinned.

Or just plain thick.

I haven't been on PF today so don't really know what  Raven's post was about.  To me, it just seems like games and jokes on there and nothing else.
We've got yer back klondike  !

The big news stories are a bit depressing (Boris and Vladimir).
The ones you have to dig out like the dinghy boys are just as bad if not worse.
I don't think folks have much big personal news at the moment. 

The stats show the top posters. I'm top mostly because I've been on the site a lot fiddling about with things and hoping I haven't messed anything up so I see new posts and respond to them. I did post a lot on PF but not at the level I have here so far.

Raven crabbyob and Walter are all on sabbatical so things are slower. We need new blood to liven us up but google won't be sending any very fast as that takes an age to happen.

      and coming in last is Peterv6153.... 3 posts... !!!!

I hope Walter comes back, his posts were ok.  Sometimes a bit headmaster'ish, always defending the police no matter what, but overall he contributed 
crabbyob best get his arse back here before he gets piles on that step !

[Scrumpy]

I hope he does get piles.. Silly old sod..

It's those bloody kilts that are the problem when you're on the step...
