If you can't say anything nice about anyone......
« on: September 21, 2017, 06:51:53 PM »
My dear old grandmother and I suspect many of your dear old grandmothera used to say "If you can't say anything nice about anyone, dont say anything at all".

So in the spirit of that I would like to say to the following posters thank you for making my life more interesting than it otherwise would have been. Long list now follows in no particular order:

Susandoris...floo....gonnagle.....vlad (or latest incarnation)...shaker....bhs.....gordon.....gabriella....nearly sane....torri.....the recently returned outrider.......wigginhalll.....harrowby hall......humph wb.....prof davey.......sassy.......robinson....julie (if shes still here)..walter....and all the rest of you....too many to mention. If I'd had the technology I would have copied the memberslist and posted that.

Anyway this is by way of an adieu...farewell... auf...
.God help us he's breaking into song. No I'm off and didn't want to go without checking out.

The reasons for leaving are personal, real life issues and maybe I'll be back but I somehow doubt it.

Enjoy yourselves and trry to bear in mind the only thing that ever really makes sense to me.....we have much more in common with each other, than the differences that we think separate us.


Bye.

PS May your lives be blessed with rainbows.

"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Hey, nothing should be that bad that you need no friends, even friends like us - if for nothing else than than we like you sight unseen.

See you again when things get sorted,

Bright Blessings, Love and Light and may the Old Ones watch over you and yours always.

Trent, you seem not to have read the small print for this mb. Here it is:

27.b (III) Insofar as any member wishes unilaterally to withdraw for personal or any other reasons, formal permission must be sought and obtained in writing on foolscap paper from Bluehillside.

Permission is hereby denied. Sorry.

I  will regret your absence,  Trent, and will just hope that you will return. Best wishes!

Good luck, trent, and hope lots of good things come your way.   You will be much missed, so hasta la vista, baby.

Trent, don't go - just come on a lot less often. Hope the real life issues are sorted and you will be back soon.

What everyone else has said and more.

You are fair minded, slow to anger and you don't nitpick!   A great poster.

(On personal note, I am touched you mentioned my name because I feel as though no-one ever notices me on here except maybe to criticise so, thanks - & don't be away too long!)

I want big heart smilies and can't find them  :).  Please don't think I feel terrible Walter, I don't, I just accept but thanks anyway.

Trent is one of the most balanced posters & will really be missed.   I sincerely hope his absence won't be permanent.
