Most of the old familiars flew off on their broomsticks.

The rot set in when GR merged 'general chat' with 'chat' and installed a report button and the disheartening 'view/post count'. I wouldn't put up a thread if I was paid to.

Florence, I don't think Dermot's posted for about a year.

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Talking of Dermot, what happened to him? It's only now I've realised he's been off here for a while.

I cannot actually remember the last time he posted.

Nice one that, Allan, but I hope that Dermot and Rollo aren’t in the netherworld yet.

Perhaps they’re having a well-deserved break from us? :-D

The Old Familiar Faces
BY CHARLES LAMB

I have had playmates, I have had companions,
In my days of childhood, in my joyful school-days,
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

I have been laughing, I have been carousing,
Drinking late, sitting late, with my bosom cronies,
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

I loved a love once, fairest among women;
Closed are her doors on me, I must not see her —
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

I have a friend, a kinder friend has no man;
Like an ingrate, I left my friend abruptly;
Left him, to muse on the old familiar faces.

Ghost-like, I paced round the haunts of my childhood.
Earth seemed a desert I was bound to traverse,
Seeking to find the old familiar faces.

Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother,
Why wert not thou born in my father's dwelling?
So might we talk of the old familiar faces —

How some they have died, and some they have left me,
And some are taken from me; all are departed;
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.


I'm thinking more of the once frequent posters such as Dermot and Rollo who seem to have disappeared. Plus many others.

The Boards seem quite 'bland' without them
