lol- is that a real one ?? sue.

Yes it's amazing the trouble some people cause for no reason Marjorie. Actually, if you don't mind I'll call you Aunty Marj like Chris did. Just so you don't suffer withdrawal symptoms. LOL We of course have a few ideas who was doing the behind the scenes whinging. The list is getting shorter. Seems some people can't help themselves, the bar threads caused no harm, it was only petty vindictiveness that drew some to complain. If they were serious about the thread being on the wrong board, then they would have made the effort to purge the tips board of all non essential threads. Instead, they deliberately persecuted ours. What other conclusions are we to come to? That Heather, is the basic reason behind the childish, but highly satisfying behaviour the other night on tips. Although some have a few personal reasons behind their attitude as well Rebel

Oh Tom!!!!! What on earth can I say? (that won't get ME threatened with suspension too). Cheers (nudge nudge wink wink to all the other solitary drinkers too) Marjorie

Me too, Heather!!! From what I can piece together, and guess, several members were suspended and two kicked off altogether. One of these, knowing that he was going to be kicked off, posted a reply and then repeatedly entered it - childish of course, but I bet it was satisfying!! Gr couldnt delete as fast as he could enter! All this stems of course, from the harmless Pub thread on Tips which appeared to make certain people demented with fury, repeatedly reporting it to GR, who, I suppose, had no option but to delete it. I have to say, the Tips Board is now much quieter and, I may be wrong, but those people who did the most look-ups, gave the most information, freely (although at a financial cost to themselves) are conspicuous by their absence - and I for one don't blame them. We have lost several useful and intelligent members of this Site, all because someone objected to ONE THREAD being on 'the wrong board'. Let us hope that the Objectors do not need any look-ups in a hurry. I am fed up of self appointed Policemen. Marjorie

Can some one please tell me what happened on Tips board on Monday/Tuseday? I went out, missed it, and am dying of curiosity!

Hi Lunar, Hope I haven't missed you. Have a nice time and see you in September. Friar

I am sorry, mia culpa! I'll sort it! :-) Joy **dear dear those chips of Bob's he left behind** **tut tut**

Yes, I think it must be something to do with the conjunction of the planets of War and Misery, or something, my daughter just emailed me full of woe about several people we know, all of whom have had misfortune in the last few days. Is it me, or is it draughty in here??? M.

Marjorie, it's been a wreck of a day. And I gather that British Origins isn't giving SoG members access to 1841. They have left a back door open, so I'm busy hauling stuff out before they close it in my face. Happy days. NOT.

God, I'm late and not in a very good mood at all ...who ever said it wasnt rocket science to get from one board to another certainly spoke the truth, its taking about five minutes to change a thread, let alone change boards!!! I seem to have missed a lot of excitement today on here, however I have been having excitement all of my very own today, spookily parallel to what has been going on here lately. At work - I am self-employed - certain people who have absolutely nothing to do with me, are attempting to bully me and bend me to their will. Its been going on for ages and I have mostly risen above it. Today, they stepped up the campaign a notch and locked me in a car park. I was not a very amused bunny, I can tell you. I am the laziest person on earth and mostly cant get up the energy to fight anyone, but when I finally get up on my back legs, I make a determined opponent. I have put the cat among the pigeons for them, but was feeling slightly fed-up about it all - then I come on here and find its all going on here too! Whatever is the world all about? Why do some people feel they have a right to INTERFERE with other people's harmless lives? Sorry, I know its supposed to be all sweetness and light on here tonight, but boo hoo, I'm homesick for the Tips Board! M.

Bob - Put those chips down!! Get Cleaning Up - Its a Right Tip In Here!!

Uggh! cold chips again!!!!!!!!

Heather!!! Leave those empties alone!! Warned you about those dregs!! Night Night Everyone!!!! 'We' ll meet again - Dont know where dont know when........' xxxxxxxxx

goodnight thank you for the party :-) Joy

Night everyone; south Wales is ok, scenery makes up for lack of public transport. Still like the drinking dens on tips better - seems very quiet over there. I'll check on the empties in the morning.

I'm saying goodnight as well. Keep well Lunar. Catch up with you when we can. Tina, I vote we go back to more familiar ground tomorrow. I'm past caring whether we get deleted or not. I'm just going to ignore everyone else and stay on my own happy little thread, or which ever thread the bar occupies. Catch you all later Rebs. xxx

thats ok with me silver. see you when we see you .nite all helen

Bye Lunar!! Be Good!!! Take Care!!! Kim xxxxxxxx

I will, but if I can't find the threads i reserve the right to message one of you. I'd better leave too as i have some serious cleaning before i catch the train Helen It would depend where they lived as I have to relie on unrelieable buses to get around at home

dont forget the postcards, wish i had known you lived there could have looked up some rellies but it can wait for another time
