Yes, I believe it was :-D
Our Hex was before that though, so I couldn't even pretend to be 'trendy', I was just cursing everyone :-(

Wasn't Hex also the forerunner of the computer, to be found in the Unseen University, so beloved by the late Sir Terry Prattchett? :-D

Aha! Witches! I may be a descendent from one of the Witch finders' (Matthew Hopkins) witches - Elizabeth Clark.

Also (more relevant) my daughter named her GSD/Collie dog Hecate - Hex for short.
Oh, it was ecstatic calling her back. The joy of standing in a park shrieking HEX!!!.

Allan Report 20 Jul 2017 00:37

Caroline Report 20 Jul 2017 00:33

Allan Report 20 Jul 2017 00:29

I have my talents...I just don't broadcast them all over this site! ;-) :-D :-D

Maggie, I have no doubt that I can lay claim to having Shakespeare in my Family Tree, via my paternal grandfather who is still a brick wall.

That was a very unfortunate spell that the witch cast on him :-D :-D :-D

Caroline

Caroline Report 20 Jul 2017 00:25

Oh dear if Maggie is going to RR you might we RR Maggie :-P :-D

You are rather going against the blandness of the thread though these days Allan

Bl**dy h*ll, your ode on 15th took some thought!! :-S
That is certainly not bland - may I RR?

Ah but Allan if you don't renew you'll be giving in and letting the bu%%ers win...can't have that now can we......as for dear old Will hardly noticed the changes... :-D

Allan

Allan Report 15 Jul 2017 22:51

:-D :-D :-D @ Barbra and Caroline

To renew, or not to renew, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous RR’s,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: banned, to post
No more; and by post, to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To renew, to post,
To post, perchance to offend; aye, there's the rub,
For in that renewing of GR, what posts may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coin,

With apologies to Wil. Shakespeare

On the other hand I can give you a definite maybe :-D :-D
