I don't feel so bad now and Polly's was really funny to read.

Pollyana

Some of my early ones are very very funny actually, quite a few are now also a bit sad to read However I did make someone else sad the other day by posting a link to old stuff, so I guess its my turn to know how he felt

Looking again at the thread I started it's surprising just how many people thought I was another poster... never did find out who they thought I was.

I see in that thread there's an "IPom" - wonder who that can be <g>.

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Indeed. I think she has the dubious honour of being the first poster on BE I had a pop at.

Yep I remember well those first meets. Deb & I drove to Birmingham with my Dad to the first Rose & Crown meet, I look back now & think wow that was a lifetime ago.
Matt & Hevs, Chris & Anita, Chris & Di, Lisa & Andy, Paul & Linda Most of us still here in Australia & still posting on here

Awww.. I like the way they thought you were someone else. And wasn't that Centurion bloke a bit rude?

Wonder what happened to him?

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Yes he was. It's shocking how some people behave on these forums.

Dreamy

I have to say I'm secretly impressed that your 3rd post spawned a thread that was moved to TIO

iamthecreaturefromuranus

Looking back I should have been more impressed myself. At the time I remember being a little peeved.

Pollyana

You never realised that you were starting a long career of being a troublesome git, did you These days threads are moved to TIO all the time, in those days it was almost unheard of!!

emelems

ok, who can I pay to find mine? I tried the search thing and as it didnt work out immediately, I lost interest and then got sulky that I didnt know/see my first post....



Actually, I think it was something like asking about if I could put tea bags into the container and then getting some caustic response from another BE'er saying something like, yeah, right, we don't have teabags over here... I think I replied to say "ok, guess how many fingers I am holding up?".... since then I have been much nicer! lol!
