General Chat

Oh whooppeeee that's one for me, Guinevere :-D

BTW how does one know that one is a loony, perhaps one is sane and everyone else is in a parallel universe...

A howling at the moon and frothing at the mouth board. ;-)

Apart from that Rollo. Do you have any hobbies or interests that you would like to share/discuss?
Btw Reunited is one word :-)

Nothing wrong with loonies Guinevere - as long as they are the right sort :-) Maybe a wums board?

George, I agree. Ain't going to happen though is it?

A coffee room board, subject matter could include, whats on tv, dinner tonight, add the games onto this board too and not forgetting the weather , :-D

The owner of GRU / Brightsold is D C Thompson famous for such publications such as the Beano and People's Friend. Over the years they have also published several hobbies and handicraft mags of which Practical Stitches is the last survivor. DC Thompson is also into quizzes and such. LIke most companies DC Thompson like to see that their subsidiaries reflect the interests of HQ..

Next year the media industry on and off offline is expecting a 4 year jamboree as the 100th anniv. of the 1st World War rolls around. The tourist industry too who are block booking all over Picardy. The ferries no doubt will do what they do best and put up fares some more. Anyway now you know why they are starting a military thread - instead of "helpers" pilfering Ancestry and so on they can pilfer the Long Long Trail instead.

After a very long time I eventually managed to get GRu to stop sending me flyers about relatives killed in various wars. Too many.

:-D :-D :-D :-D @ Gwynne.

I think they should have a loony board. Keep 'em away from the rest of us.

I also think the new boards could be a good idea, BUT, we are talking about GR here, they are constantly having problems with what they have at the moment.

It would be much better if they were to get all the problems sorted out first before attempting to ad more.... :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

George :-)

What was your thinking behind that link Rollo?

I doubt they will be providing a mail order service for magazines.

My first thought on Military was discipline for any wums and trolls, a bit of frog marching in place of the norty step maybe :-D

I like the idea of a hobbies and interests board and wonder what form it will take.
Will it be set out as subjects decided by GR or will we be able to put up our own niche interests? I'm looking forward to this one as hobby threads tend to get lost on general chat.

Classic stitches then.

I think the hobby and interests board is a good idea, those threads seem to stay trouble free and will stop cluttering the gen chat board.

Military board I am not sure. It could be good but as I don't go on the find ancestors etc much not sure how much military interest there is.

But at least they are doing something as a result of the sticky. :-)

A Military one, eh! Will we get to meet men in uniform? :-D

See sticky.

Any thoughts?

A welcome addition or just new battlegrounds?
