    We can't afford to lose the small group of us who weathered the BBC storm and came through to the other side.
    All in my humble opinion, of course. Bestio, salymap
    Sad news indeed salymap.

    Mahlerei's ntelligent posts and news of Sky and the buns will all be missed

      HAs he declared on another thread that he's off?
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Ah! you mean the "Guest" description? I didn't know that was how it worked - that if one signs out, one's posts are so described thereafter.

          Yes, sad. I wonder why?

          Bestio

            Didn't you know. the existing posts are as you say -no further posts allowed but Guests, dozens of 'em every day, may lurk.

            So saying, some posters could 'lurk' under all five previous names I guess. bestio saly

              I heard from mahlerei a few days ago. Sky is as energetic as ever and the buns are fine. He's very busy with his work (reviewing) and other things in his life right now take precedence so decided to give the MBs a miss although he does still look in now and then for a read, usually the Proms inquests. For the future - well who knows? I can't believe I started posted on the old R3 boards so long ago and am still here ........ we may see him back again, some time distant, who knows

                  Am and I don't seem to have correct details shown then. I started in 2007,September I think but it gives the date of 2010 when these boards started.
                  I find it quite sad to read the first dozen or so posts of Stormy Weather, sentimental old thing that I am

                  Glad you've heard too Anna, I konow you both go back a long way

                    saly, please send my best wishes to Mahleri. I'm glad to hear that he and Sky are well and hope that he'll join us again sometime down the road.

                        My start date is March 2007 because this MB started 2007 and then went into hibernation until just before the demise of the old R3 boards, and of course your old BBC registration was not carried forward. I recall I joined the old BBC MBs around 2005, I am probably one of the few who remember Ludwig the Eco-Warrior and his cheese or string thread and his battle with Graeme Kaye!
                        On-topic. The BBC promised rain at 10am, the Met Office at 1pm. It is now a very half-hearted spit. Very disappointing when we were promised some sort of Armageddon and plagues of locusts.

                          ... yes, I too get really disappointed when the forecast is for something severe - even unpleasant, but dramatic - and the reality turns out to be a damp squib. If they promise a monsoon I want a monsoon, not a feeble drizzle...

                              Indeed vints, if they promise Sodom and Gomorrah I want the real thing and I really want, really want, Lot's wife (you know who you are) to be turned into a glistening pillar of Maldon Rock Salt, not some substitute from Asda's Chosen by You range.

                                Be careful - remember the BBC weather forecast when someone said that listeners expected a hurricane, silly man,we certainly got twoin the end, albeit some years apart.
