Taking a break from BE.
 
Well, with nearly 18,000 posts in less than 3 years, I spend way too much time on here. There has been some stuff lately that I have not liked very much either(including some of my own posts) & I think that when you start taking it all too seriously, it is definitely time for a rethink!

To Alfresco & Paulry, hope that both you guys enjoy your trips at Easter.:thumbsup:
Badge, hope the teasing the other night did not offend & I am sorry if it did.:o
Lord F - good luck!:fingerscrossed:
MP & all the other mods, keep up the good work!:D

If anyone wants info on Cairns, please do e-mail me & I will try to help.

Our lives would be easier if posters didn't constantly break the rules. You are already banned under at least one name.
Bye.

I thought to sneakily find a way to send you some (real) flowers and then I spotted your son's charity effort in your sig so decided to donate to that instead. But the payment site prompts for my credit card security code but doesnt provide a space to enter it. ...Or am I'm being a bit thick? :confused::rolleyes::o
