General Chat

I 'look in' on this board from time to time (to time). As we all likely realise, GR very sadly is almost kaput.
It is such a shame when we recall so very many years ago how vibrant was the General Board ... a new page within the hour each Saturday! Those truly were the 'good old days' here.
(I always say 'today is the last of the good old days'. Who knows what 'they' will consider non-PC tomorrow!)

I tend to come on GR as last poster on most threads and seem to have the habit of 'killing' said thread. I'm good for something!

Anyway, in a few days I am orft to Jolly Old Oz for my first trip. Apparently it's sunny there ... although much cooler than the 50C / 122F plus I loved to work in years ago when the Middle East. (Excuse an old fella ... I'm just bragging again!)

I intend very soon to write a brief story here about when I recently presented to a very elderly gentleman in my apartment block ... HIS entry on the 1921 Canadian Census.

That's for another day, however.

Meantime, A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2017 to all good folk on GR.

PS. If anyone starts this North American silliness saying 'Happy Holidays' tell 'em "No Christmas - NO holiday!"
So there!

Ciao. Take care.

Have you always had the same board name McAlp? Ann?
I recognise the name McAlp as having been around a long time. Maybe you should post more often then you will become 'known'.

Welcome back Claire. I've been a member since Jan 2005 but only posting for the last 2 or 3 years.

Season's greetings everyone :-)

Hello Everyone

Have a Lovely Christmas

Claire when uou look in Rambling Rose says hello. She doesn't come on at the moment as she has a problem with her eyes and a painful hand. She is missed.

Hello Solrosen! :-D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ann, yes, the Claires I mentioned did use that name. I remember Ice Ice Baby name but don't think we had any exchanges.

Joy , thaks for that confirmation, that was what I thought her name wa but was not sure. :-D

Nearly 12 yrs since I joined. Lots going on in my life right now but try to add occasional responses. Will try post again later

Merry Christmas Ice Ice Baby xx :-D :-D

Hi all, Look often but dont have time to post much nowadays but a Happy Christmas to one and all and hope 2017 is kind to you all. <3 <3

Hello everyone I don't post very often been around for about ten years don't if you would call that a old timer or not but I hope you all have very happy and peaceful christmas

'Specially at this time of the year Ann ..... just like Island and me ! :-D

C'mon guys and gals ..... say hello :-D :-D

Claire is still finding her way round I think. she has said she will come on later. I don't recognise any of the Claires that you have mentioned Island. I have a feeling this Claire might not have used her name in her board name.

Actually when these sort of threads go up we do sometimes get quite a few who are around but not posting, as well as those on the long threads.

If people don't actually post are they likely to respond?

I've been here a long time, don't post much anymore, mostly get jack replies but lots and lots of views, as do most who are brave enough to put up a thread.

Who is Claire? Claire who kindly offered a ticket to the sewing and knitting show? Claire who joined in the fun on the lambcam threads?

Has Claire put up a thread?

Hello Claire.

I am Fred's little girl.
