Linda its not like we try to make anyone feel uncomfortable, its just sometimes there might be a conversation going thats been going a few hours or days, so that might pop up in the general chit chat;;; I can assure you its no private club just mostly older ones except a couple Lems, Wendy and Em? and Terri? I will get into trouble now for telling tales of ageism;; babs

Thanks Christine, That's it - I'll have to brave it. I've no doubt that it's really friendly in there. I think it's just the way my brain works (& obviously Pollys - but she's as daft as I am (no offence Polly)) For some reason I don't even read the threads. I will try before I venture in. Thanks again for the encouragement.

Polly That's exactly how I feel. Maybe it's because it's well established. Maybe we should brave it together one night. We can always sit quietly in the corner having a chat. Just don't smuggle the drink in your bag like you did last time. They'll chuck us out! lol

The problem is that unlike being a new face at a party, unless you join in by posting, no one will notice you. At a party I'd go up to a new face and say hallo. But you only know who is on the boards if they post. Some threads on here get very personal - I tend to avoid them. nell

Yes Keith I did mention football. However, I cannot hold a conversation about it despite the fact all the girls/lads at work can. sorry. Really pleased that Liverpool won though,

I know it sounds daft but I've always been wary of going into the welcome inn. Don't know why. The only time I popped my head in was when I discovered Lemon was taking Daniel in after all and we nearly took the argument outside. lol Don't worry we made up. They seemed a pretty friendly bunch. However, I don't even read their threads despite the fact that I read nearly every other one. I think I'm losing the plot as i can't justify it at all. x Lesley
