of course the 'page 1 of 17171' may be in a different place for you all as i have my page set to 'large' text for my dreadful eyesight...but you will find it somewhere up there near "add topic" :))

Bet you all wish i'd gone to bed half an hour ago now LOL

Don't we just all need to know that it's page 1 of 17171, far more than we need to know exactly what time Rose or anyone else posted - grrr. Off to find my 'Time please' thread >>>>>>>>>>>>> on the way to the bathroom >>>>>

general is exactly the same.....only one person on any thread and no answers.


maybe it makes GR look as if there are more full threads than there really is

MR_MAGOO Report 26 Feb 2011 23:13

They're not threads Rose but posts. Each page consists of posts.

A real time waster, but fun that was :-)
(very first in chat board)

Rambling Report 26 Feb 2011 23:24

same as a reply Jane, except you add the title in 'add topic' :) it took me a while to pluck up courage to do either ...quite interesting to look back though and see who was here when the boards were 'new' before my time lol.

MR_MAGOO Report 26 Feb 2011 23:29

The Gen board goes back to Jan 2003.

Were you here way back in time, Mr Magoo?

Rose - you posted on another thread:
""A mannequin parade" is what my mum used to call it"
- that's what I call it, too :-)

MR_MAGOO Report 26 Feb 2011 23:38

I had forgotten that she used it until I saw it written down Joy :)

made me laugh though as one memory I cherish is of going to see a fashion show with my mum at the local adult education college, for some reason she was in a skittish mood lol and just as everyone stopped clapping the models she would start...I was caught between embarrassment and laughter while she was doing it lol, but we were both in hysterics afterwards :)

I remember that you could have the page with just text or with the adds.

I use the South African site here as there are no adds only one for FR.
