Just wanted to give a huge vote of thanks, a couple of frisky cheek kisses, a fraternal high five and one great big bear hug to Those-who-set-up-this-here-Forum.


Been too much ill-feeling on here of late; it is clouding things a little.


The Forum has given me, for one:


The brilliance of Ted Max

The wit of Honaloochi

Knockabout Limericks with Tilly

Countless interesting debates

A Bucketful of Laughs

Suggestions for films to watch and music to listen to

The pure indulgence of the Quiet Room (it started with a cough...)

and..

The genius that is *Bob*


And on top of that it's given me plenty of great night's out in the pub with people like Sean, Moos, David, Jah, Keef, Michael P et al who I met through this place. A virtual community that's become a real community.


Thanks folks.

Yup I seccond that...where else would i find so many ladies prepared to play footy having never played before.....I could be the next Alex Ferguson!


But seriously...this is great forum and that anyone gives up their free time to keep it going means we are all indebted.

I third that. Where else would I have found out about rice cookers, square plate etiquette, backgammon, book club, recipes and what time it is?*


On a serious note, huge thanks to all who are involved in running the EDF. I will love to buy you all a drink xx



*to name just a few things.

Agreed, agreed, agreed.


I have made many forum buddies on here, but even more special to me are those close friends who have enriched my life to such an extent now that I cannot imagine what it would be like without them. Had it not been for this forum I doubt we would have met.


Then there are the practical things like discovering a good oven repairer, finding someone to give my bike its MOT, which surgery to sign up to (and which to avoid), tips on how to solve my problematic front door or my leaky shed, what to buy my nephews for their birthdays and Christmas. And then there has been the stuff that I have sold, the kind PMs when life hasn't been kind, instructions on how to produce my own pectin, recipes for chocolate brownies, Irish soda bread and a tasty mackerel dish.


Then there are the jokes, the laughs, the witty banter, the taking the piss - oh pure joy. Also the 100s game, the word game, and the various competitions.


Not forgetting the Forum Priest, the Forum Ladies' Football Club Manager, the ED SNUB Lady, the Forum Computer Specialists, and the EDF Youtube Experts. What more can I say. Well lots actually, but you might get bored.


So thank you Mark and the Team, with all my heart. xxx

Many thanks to the OP for the compliment.

I accept in the usual shruggingly-diffedent-aw-shucks kind of fashion that I accept any compliment.


But yes, this is a good place to visit and I always look out for certain posters and enjoy what they do.

I won't be specific and name names, lest I be accused of favouritism, but if I may apply subtle code.


A woman who sounds like a right cow, but is actually a baa lamb and is funnier than Mrs Pike out of Dad's Army.

A fellow who may live in the vicinity of Maxted Rd and brings the same sort of off-kilter world view that we all appreciate by Corporal Jones out of Dad's Army.

An apparently South African-Irish fellow who I reckon wears a hat at as rakish an angle as Private Walker out of Dad's Army.

A concert-going female who I reckon may take the same interest in shoes as the good Mrs Fox out of Dad's Army.

A living rock legend named poster who blurts out his truth like Private Pike out of Dad's Army.

A *nod* of the head that always seems to channel the spirit of Private Frazier out of Dad's Army.


Hey mofo, it's a Home Guard thing, you wouldn't understand.

Now stop that EEL, no one on here is a 'no mark'. I'll drop the Dad's Army code and say that you remind of the tipsy Madame Penoir out of that wedding party episode of Fawlty Towers.

Than which there are few higher compliments.

Of course not MM, if I had the front to include myself it would have been as Corporal Jones the butcher's boy, Ray-Mond.

Mark set this up a couple or three years ago and I must say it is one subscription I don't mind paying for!


I can have a good laugh, a moan at the politicians, find a plumber, buy some cheap dvd's or make new friends.


I feel it is a real asset to the neighbourhood and worth every penny of my twenty five quid,


and if you hadn't noticed I'm right careful with my dough.

My lips are of course sealed on the matter Giggi, imagine that my post was underpinned by the sentiments of the WW2 poster, BE LIKE DAD, KEEP MUM.

Be you could be in the same ballpark as them yanks might say.


I don't know coming over here with their chewing gum, stockings and tipped fags, stealing our wives and mistresses and rustling our livestock, like as not, I don't know, I really don't.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
