Since the last summary, things have moved along nicely. Its brilliant to see such a diverse and interesting commentary on such useful topics as we see here on a daily - nay, hourly - basis.

One thing I noticed buried away was a short lived thread on Genealogy. It only had 2 posts, and quite right too. Who do you think you are! Asking questions about family history! This is the GR board! But to keep things in context, we quickly recovered from that little hiccup and moved swiftly along.

What next then? Oh yes, there was an excellent thread on mediterranean resorts. That really was good. Why go to the bother of checking out resorts on google when you can come here and get an experts viewpoint, eh! That was useful. Me and the wife always argue about Holidays. I want to go to Tenerife and she wants to come with me.

The household appliances discussion just marches on, going from strength to strength! Isn't it wonderful how much mileage there is in the merits of Indesit versus Hoover? Truly fascinating stuff.I wonder if Which? magazine monitors this site? If not, then they should, eh!

There has been a veritable plethora of hugs, cuddles and kisses! Great stuff. A few more positive thoughts for my Morris dancing contest wouldn't have gone amiss, I might add....but I'm not bitter and will try harder next time, or maybe change the handkerchief. Whatever.

A really fascinating psychic thread continues. I nearly married a clairvoyant but she left me before we met, so I know where you are all coming from and keep up the good work. Just one thing
that someone might be able to tell me......you know when the spirits talk to you, is there any reason they only tell you things that you already know, and never tell you useful stuff like next weeks
lottery numbers or whether the moon landings were really filmed in Arizona....? Just curious, thats all. Actually, I personally have the gift myself. I can tell that this post is going to get pulled soon!
How amazing is that, eh!

Some excellent topics from the surreal, irrelevant and impressionist departments. I would just like to add my cup of tea and say that the luminous fish on the lawn gives me a feeling of warmth when I'm in Moscow.

And a word of encouragement to all those who feel it is a good idea to post the same message on each and every board...thanks for that, it could potentially be distressing to miss anything. Good thinking. Cover all bases just in case.

Finally, it's nice to see that the legal department has been busy charging, trying, convicting and sentencing quite a few scoundrels and rogues. Heartwarming to see that they decided that no defence would be allowed and that guilt was assured. A nice touch. It was particularly good to see that we managed 3 balaclavas, 12 pairs of socks and unfeasably long scarf whilst sitting round the guillotine. (Use Google - its quicker)

I think that about sums it up for now, but if anyone can think of anything I haven't mentioned that they think should be included, please PM me. Anyone PM me if it comes to that. It would just be nice to get a PM. Especially from anyone who hasn't got any friends - we could be friendless together and I could ignore you and you could ignore me! What fun we will have!

If you want your thread deleted Ian you will have to try a lot harder than this.

You need to be personally insulting instead of which this is just hilarious:)

I know you wont like me saying this...but thanks for brightening my day:)

You have to sit there for one minute for every year of your age, according to Supernanny. Which means I'll be there for ages!
