Yes it was me. Had to hang my head in shame and come back as Don after a couple of alcohol fumed posts (now deleted).

But was NewstartNZ such a bad lad?

Anyone who remembers something positive about NewstartNZ, say it now...

i must admit i don't bother trying to work out who the bloody hell these multiple persona are...

why can't everyone just use their real names?? -I just mark them down as a tad 'sad' and read on...

cheers

Before my time..

I did have a look back when you mentioned it before but you said all the good stuff was deleted! Didn't you just start out under this name? It's not like all the other imposters.....or was it?

Well I never tried to be a multiple or an imposter, ie I just came back a few weeks later as a different user - mainly because I forgot the password! But anyone who didn't agree with NewstartNZ - no worries, I'm apologetic.

Don,

Just wanted to ask you a question. I have been away on holiday for a week and while I have been way you have come back to the fold with avengence. Why? Could you just not stay away any longer?
Just wondered?....

Going crazy like a spider in a fly farm, like a loony in the British Library Reading Room, like a poofter in a Bangkok Massage Parlour!

Not at all Don, I always enjoyed reading your posts, so was sorry you had decided to leave the forum. So glad to see you are back. Will be looking forward to reading what you have to say about life downunder.

Oh well. as we say in Fuji Photos: some day your prints will come.

As a father of two under-3s, can I just say, I never knew there would be as much...clearing up/ showers where I have to do the hand cleaning job.

A bit before my time too, I think.

Can't understand the concept of this multi-schizo-persona thing. I'm a little dissapointed that you would stoop to this Don.

Yep I was disappointed in myself too for the couple of boozy posts that got away so I thought I would just stop posting. There was a bit of a flame war going on and it got a bit heated and insulting.

But then this addictive board got the better of me and I thought a new more pleasant persona would be better. Hence 'Pleasance' - supposed to remind me not to post any nasties. (But I didn't post under 2 names at once, so not exactly schizoid, Chippers.)

I remember "him" from when I used to post on Usenet. I always wondered where he disappeared to....

Nicola.
