General Chat

Everyone seems to have such great relationships with each other here it is a bit difficult for a Newbie to butt in! Of course, it is understandable that you all know each other and in some cases, have met each other, but I feel a bit like the new kid on the block. Do any other Newbies feel the same? I am sure, in time, it will feel very comfortable. UPDATE: Now I am feeling like the oldest kid on the block! It didn't take long! LOL BC

Hi Buttercup Welcome to the boards, not been on this board long myself and I can see where your coming from but once everyone gets used to your name they are lovely. Have a wonderful time Jan

Hey look guys. A new kid on the block! Hi Buttercup, pull up a Mushroom and come and join us. Kettle is on but I forgot to get the HobNobs. Jim, 64, Lives in Gosport, Hampshire and been hunting dead rellies for over 40 years. You would think I would know how to do it by now! By the way, it is not recommended to give away too much personal info as there are some sorry souls about.

Hi Buttercup, You and Daisy should get on famously! Welcome to the loony bin! Do you know any good jokes? Lynda used to be the number one comedienne on here but she's rather subdued recently. Maybe she's told us all of the jokes from Bob Monkhouse's book (think she bid the highest on e-bay). LOL Brian, ;-x)

Thank you Jim! I will take your advice and say nowt. Maybe I can ask your advice some time as I dont know my Paf from my Gedcom.

Welcome to Kim as well, I've only been using these boards since christmas, and the people on here are a good laugh. Hi Jim how you doing. Jan

I'm here Buttercup! I'm quite a newbie myself to this board and people are very welcoming. Obviously lots of them have 'known' each other a long time but there's always room for more of us. Brian are you suggesting I belong in a loony bin!! lol Daisy

Thank you jan, i enjoy reading some of these threads, some are funny, some are really sad and others that need help, its like one big family, i just wish id of joined sooner lol kimxxx

Hiya Buttercup, Don`t forget,,,,they were all newbies at some time. Welcome

Thank you one and all for welcoming me. I dont feel such a Newbie any more even tho I have a lot to learn. Sorry Brian, I dont know any jokes, but the later it gets the funnier I am!

Hi Buttercup (and all) I'm a newbie and fairly quiet. Perhaps I should join in a bit more as everyone seems to be very friendly and helpful. I have been following a lot of threads and having a little chuckle at the jokes and camaraderie. May be I shouldn't be so shy. :o) Claire

Hi Buttercup, Im a newbie too, was a full member in Nov, but only started adding messages in the last few weeks. I felt like i was gatecrashing! but once i'd started to get replies and offers of help it was great, everyone was very helpful and answered a lot of questions for me. Jackie x

OK. NOW THE REST OF YOU!! We can see you hiding behind the Sofa. Come on out and join the party. Lol Jim
