I'm back online! On Tuesday 26th September the roofers managed to cut my phone line. This morning BT have repaired it- to be fair they were not notified straight away. I didn't see much point until the roofers had finished :roll: .Happily, I now have a new cable from the roof down to the phone socket inside (this was a free upgrade some years ago- but I was out so they could only do the outside cable). Looks like many posts to catch up on :D

Learn the history. Do research.

The hypocrisy, double standard, prejudice and bigotry own by some people is so obvious.Shame on them!

I’ve now been on the forums for ten years. Yes, I joined ten years ago today and it has been a very interesting and enjoyable ten year period. During this time I have met some wonderful fellow Blytonites and made some great friends. So a big THANK YOU all for the past ten years and here’s to the next ten! :D

Gosh, have I only known you for ten years? It seems a lot longer - and I mean that in the nicest possible way! :wink:

How the time goes so quickly, Eddie. This is a great place to meet so many lovely people, and as you say, Eddie make some great friends. :)

I've just looked at my own avatar and see that I too joined ten years ago. Gosh, I can't believe it. :D
