I remember the good ol' days ... when I was Three Legs and things were different.

This place was fun, what happened?

It's almost Christmas, everyone will be coming on here worse for wear after a big night and things will liven up again.

Hi everyone!

I thought I'd pop back and see what was happening here and what an apt thread this is!

I think the advent of Facebook had an impact on BE as a lot of people moved there. My first friends on Facebook were from here and I still have a lot of those people despite never having met them.


I do miss the BE glory days though!

I agree. I am friends with a few BE folk too They are people I would make the effort to meet up with if I was ever in their vicinity. Particularly the ones with VERY cute puppies!
