Cripes, that's a lot to live up to!!!

The way to a man's heart is clearly through his whisky penchant ;-P

I'd also go with Michael Paleagolus(sic) is our resident charming wit (and can have a man killed for the right price)

welcome Barty

The forum is kept in impeccable order so don't be surprised if one of your posts magically disappears to another section. Don't be offended if you start a thread on what you think is an extremely important point to be met with the first reply saying something like - 'here we go again' and then a link to a 20 page thread on same point - even if it was last discussed 2 years ago.

For me the best thing about the forum is the wanted/offered - I've managed to get rid of lots of junk and also found decent pest control, handymen, got someone to buy something in ikea for me and had great meals out - to the point where my boyfriend is driven mad by me saying 'well on the forum .. . .'

have fun

That's fine, as long as you can cope with me going "Where did my post on xxxxxx end up"!!!!

That's fine, as long as you can cope with me dredging up ancient threads so I can talk about something which interests me but you lot were last discussing 2 years ago!!!!

Drinks are held on the first Friday of the Month. EXCEPT during the Summer when it is the first Saturday of the month and start in the afternoon. Usually a good turn out of many of the names mentioned. Keep an eye out in the The Lounge for details - next one is on 4 July at The Rye Hotel. I have the list of future venues in my wallet and occasionally, for money, allow people to have a sneaky peek. Otherwise they are a state secret, in case we get a better offer from another venue.

Curry Club is usually the last week of the month and attracts a variable number (anywhere between 20 and 4) depending on how skint people are. In July we might do a crafty mid-month one though as I missed last nights and I organised the feckin' thing.

Occasionally a thread called "The Quiet Room" reappears for a brief burst of surrealist humour and virtual debauchery before it sinks again into the the Forum's depths. Much like Moby Dick or Brigadoon...

EDIT: Hmmmmmmmmmm ......
