Re: Member meets?

Sincere apologies for not showing up on Saturday. Sounds like I was the reason a few of you had to hang around in the pub and have another pint! I was left "holding the baby" and couldn't visit...

Re: Member meets?

Smoking lounge or holding cell -what a choice. I have been a member for 3 years but don't get chance to post often. I usually only have time for a quick browse.

Re: What cartoon/comic character are you?

Got my first "silver" hair at 17 and have been colouring it ever since. I have become far less tolerant as I have aged. LOUDER, bossier,complaining about everything -- no wonder I'm single :D
