When I first looked at the forum this morning.....

We had 187777 Posts and 1777 members.
The topics were a bit of a let down, though.
(Sad that I notice this sort of thing.  :-[)

Yes. Yes it is sad.




You could probably have knocked up a Korean War infantryman in the time it took to notice and post.





No more to be said really.

A happy little tune!

fsn, this is beginning to add credence to the widely circulated rumor that you are, indeed, the culture editor for Rolling Stone!

I'm not so sure. I still struggle with the extreme language and culture differences.  :)
For example when I looked up "Sussed" the first hit was a portal to the  University of Southampton! :-\
But then I found out "Sussed" may be American in origins - so I am adrift not only in space but in time.

I do when I remember correctly. I often get "Nobby" confused with "Dobby" and don't want to give offense.

Apparently Nobby is actually a body double for Dobby in the Hary Potter films
