Nobody but me been here since before 19:00. Nobody in Chat. Not much has happened all week. This board is dying. So is PhotoFit. Something must be done. This board never promised to be alive in the first place! Anything that happened in between was just a bonus! It's in the Terms and Conditions, somewhere! ;D It's been a space for sanctuary for weary travellers to leave a few humble post cards. A stopping place for a sip of wine and a packet of very small duty-free peanuts that burst open and scatter dust all over your trousers, a place of calm when all others have been falling apart and a hidey hole for the World's unwanted - who usually end up getting banned by Riot. It doesn't really have to "Do". It just "Be's".

Don't despair, Weyland. Pat and Riot are correct. There's a certain ebb and flow to most boards.
I was in the chat room last night about 12.30 and Rob and I had a lovely gossip for an hour or so.

Good. I was there from 10 till 11 or so. SWL logged in, said nothing, and logged out. End of story. Cheered me up no end. [By the way, the insurance epic continues. One bloke (appliance disposal) said he'd rung me several times and got no answer. I can see from both phones' memories that he never rang. He definitely had the right numbers (plus email). He said he got an automatic message saying "Not available, send a text". I said "So you sent a text?". He just said "No". Did he call? No he didn't, and I have no such message set up anyway. No email either. Another two weeks gone. It's all being logged in detail. At least they've given me money for a cooker now, after much pestering. Four days for money transfer to my bank. Should be overnight, tops. Actually takes seconds, if that.]

Nobody but me been here since before 19:00. Nobody in Chat. Not much has happened all week. This board is dying... I've been away. It's all the explanation you need. But I've been wondering...is Fluffy just not sexy enough? What about a spat? Or even just a bit of gossip?

What about a spat? Or even just a bit of gossip? I heard that you had been away to get cured, Jean. If it worked I'll be there this evening. Make sure your Zinfandel is not too cold.

Other boards take care of spats. Gossip's good though

I never am.) Of course not. I was just inventing gossip and pushing the envelope to cause a spat. Dismal failure.

You mean you're not coming round after all? How dare you?! You KNOW I don't drink wine unless there's a very good incentive! ~ Bad News Department: I had to throw the nice pickle you gave me out. No fridge since the flood, and it went mouldy. Half a jar.

Oh no! That really is terrible!
But how did you manage not to wolf it down in one as soon as you got your hands on it?

Because I'm a gourmet, not a gourmand Cultural Note 1: In Geordie, a gourmand is known as a gannet. Cultural Note 2: In Dutch, gannet is Jan van Gent . . . John of Gaunt. Think about it.

There's a big pub near Shrewsbury called The Cross Gates. Closed down last year and stood abandoned for quite a while, but then there started an extensive renovation job on it.
Drove past it the other day, and it's looking good, apart from the new name-sign on the front: Ye Olde Cross Gates Inn. No doubt some marketing consultant got a big bonus for coming up with that olde shyte.
Fuckadoodledoo! (© Everso 2011).
[There's another pub near it that used to be the Owen Glendower. Now it's the Saffron Cottage.]
