Well velvet, you did ask!
Or have I missed the point? Are we supposed to petition to get the old one back?

Oh nice one,Trish. I never posted to the old one because I couldn't go back and read what I'd missed (there was just so much of it).

Same here SQ!

If the old one has been closed for techie reasons, they aren't going to reopen it, are they? Nice to have a shiny new one anyway

At the risk of killing it before it even gets off the ground - can I join in the new one too!!!??? Oh.......... it's nice and tidy in here as well isn't it!!!

It is, I wonder how long that will last? However hard I try, I don't seem to be able to catch the tidiness bug.

hello ladies - may I join in too?

"A compact & bijou new build thread, with plenty of scope for extension"
Mmmm - sounds nice

Hello peeps, just thought I'd join while there is still room for my expanding waistline

But "this is not going to be an easy build" .... the other one took about a year to get where it was!!

I'm not going to reply to that post on account that it might look like I'm trying to gain "special priviledges!!

Have we set a realistic budget? Has a project manager been appointed?
I hope we're not relying on the previous rapid rise in posts to keep this one afloat

BTW, unless my eyes deceive me, the mods have not only foreclosed on but have now repossessed the original thread .

yup - gone

Regime change (mods?).

Even more annoying is that a few months ago they cleansed almost all our history - the forum is now only 15 pages long, so that we can't search for stuff when people ask questions which have already had useful answers. They could at least have archived it somewhere for us.

Maybe they did that because of when they stopped the search function - everyone was asking the same questions anyway!

Ooh I just got 4 gold stars

Very smart Tiggs!!! - see Ch4 we don't ask for much!!!

Enjoy 'em while you can, tiggsey - next step is a very dull fat grey star

Morning all!
Oooh this place is far too neat and tidy!

And hello to Jellye for starting the original OT and we will try and keep up the good work in your honour

Hello everyone off topic

Afternoon all. Great place this or wot?

I've just heard about the Welsh rugby fan who said he would cut off his own b*lls if Wales beat England....AND HE DID!!!!!

I read about that this afternoon as well!! Apparently he went back to his local to show everyone, just to prove he'd done it!!

One of my hubby's favourite sayings is "if he/she does, I'll show my a*se in Burton's window"..... but I don't think he ever has!!

The perfect illustration to the proverb:

Cutting of ones nose to spite ones.............
