She may, of course, have been trying to ... get to know you better, LMcD?

It's all about fundraising, my dear chap - but we do all rub along pretty well together (ooh, Matron!) and it's hardly my fault that most of my co-volunteers are female.

Nicely done....I agree....I thought my RF reference might bring some reaction....you seem to have taken it in good spirit....good....I did log in later to retract the R bit, but you had already posted and it was time for bed....it did give me an 'overthink' for the first ten minutes or so of pillow time....

I think there is a great deal of difference between constant posters and occasional posters in what they expect from the posting and reading....some still have the idea that this is Friends of R3 Forum which had a different ethos....
....anyway good....I don't know how your wife who sounds a much more balanced individual, puts up with you....

If I had a pound for every time folks have said that to me, I'd be rich beyond Topol's dreams. My default response is that it just goes to show that unlike poles attract.

....anyway I'm sure we'll be expecting better behaviour from conchis from this day forth ....shall we gather here on this day in a years time and judge his progress....prayers will be said, candles lit, offerings given , his trepasses forgiven - a memorial for the casting off of his old self held in Cleethorpes....[chips optional]....

But don’t feed the gulls!

I think that you're on your own in this opinion.

Not that that has ever stopped you before.

If I was, this thread would have died a death with 0-3 contributions. Yet here we are, 23 pages later....

I know it’s not a competition, but I doubt if any of your own threads have done as well.

It’s not the green-eyed beast, is it?

Well … since you asked … a thread which I started last years has currently racked up 378 messages on 38 pages - not that I would mention it, of course. And there are plenty of threads besides which my own modest contribution pales into insignificance.

Don’t encourage him LMcD.

....While most of my threads don't even get past the first page....I do have an 189pager (yes, even with the banal ol'rubbish I offer)....and THAT when I'm going for the 'wittiest' category....
