I am fine, how are you two doing?

I can't remember the last time I was on here, must be a couple of years at least.

I live in Hampshire now (can't remember where I was last time I posted) in between Basingstoke, Newbury and Andover. Very rural. Loving it. Working in Paddington, which is great as you get free marmalade sandwiches if you wear your duffle coat.

L'il Miss T8 is now at senior school. Some of you may remember my posting her ultrasound pic on Sparrows, well that was over 11 years ago.  :o

Thought I would do some catching up.

I was going to post a link to the Fall Out Boy track of the same name but it isn't available on YouTube, so some of the lyrics will have to do


'Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame'

I keep trying to 'like' peoples posts and feel like I should be downloading an app or something.  ???

Do you remember what it was like in the olden days?

Still, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.  ;D

We've been round and round and round, and then round and round again, and up every avenue; physical and metaphysical, and then round and round and round again. And then for a change round and round and round again.

There's a political page which has been fruitful as per entertainment value goes...

I forgot to say that there is a formal debate section which has proved interesting. It has only been used twice so far, but they are looking for willing combatants...

Dear T8,

you brought the nostalgic bit out in me.

A blast from the past, old Wigs winning the Miss Congeniality contest over on the old Beeb.

Hello, T8, you old devil, I mean angel.   Hope all well with you and yours.   I am old now.

Gonners, that list is incredible, so many familiar names.   Yes, I topped the poll, but then I had a fuller figure then.   I shall now break into: "Forty years on, when afar and asunder, Parted are those who are singing today, When you look back and forgetfully wonder ..."   Come on, school, up and under, oops, getting confused now.

Thank you everyone for such a lovely welcome.

Feels weird typing here on a tablet, although fittingly Mosaic I suppose, forgive any autocorrection.

Ha yes, I'd forgotten about that. One of the benefits of a peripatetic existence is that ones cringeworthy memories may be walked away from. Yet here I am so feel free everyone, it'd be good to relive bygones.  ;D
