Please don't shoot me...I'm only the messenger... :o)





I’m off to a land where the sun always shines
Far away from GR and the whinges and whines.
The ghosts and the ghoulies, the nasties , the flames
And the people that post using wondrous names!
The sad and the mad, the strange and the weird
The bullies and trolls that make themselves feared,
Irrelevant threads where we all scratch our head
And wonder if things may be best left unsaid.

The mind numbing posts that ask you your name
Then make a new word using letters the same
And positive thoughts and cuddles and hugs
That fly round the room like jet propelled bugs!
Virtual parties with biscuits and tea -
Am I all alone and can nobody see
That this is the internet – nothing is real
It’s all make believe – you can’t touch or feel.

A man with a chainsaw may cut off your arm
But words on a screen- they cannot cause harm!
Cries of outrage echo around
If anyone dares to make but a sound
That disagrees with the bland and the twee
And the boring and pointless that no one can see.
And the bans and the flames and the cliques and the fight
About threads with strange names like Malice and Spite! :-)

The reason I joined was my family tree
To trace long lost aunties and uncles, you see.
Not to read threads about miserable things
And obscure songs that nobody sings.
So this is my story, it’s sad but it’s true
I thought I would tell you before pastures new
Beckon and wave to a future that’s bright
I can certainly say Genes did not Reunite!

If he's deleted himself from the site... how can he see the threads that have been posted today?

**wonders**

For someone that always put the boards down so much, he didn't half spend a lot of time here lol

But words on a screen- they cannot cause harm!
- I tend to disagree with this one!

I wish him well anyway xx

~~~~waves to Ian~~~~ Bon Voyage!

Well I for one love GR with all its anomalies.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the time spent on GR but each to his own.

Good luck...don't suppose we will 'see' you again (:

I'm glad I got to meet him in person before he jet's off.....who knows whether he'll come back but he will stay in touch I'm sure.......

He's as funny & witty in person as he is online n can even wind you up as he does here....not knowing whether what he's saying is a joke or reality....thats whats unique about him.

Personally I think he'll miss us all too much n will be back in full glory...lol
