[Pheobsky]

OK basicaly if you have found your way here, and haven't yet realised this is somwhat of a lifeboat forum- well thats whaat it is the real forum is here: http://brassgoggles.co.uk

Anyway this is just to show that the lifeboat is still in working order & hasn't been completely forgotten about!

Many thanks
Pheobsky

PS. I shall endevour to drop a random post here every so often jst to show I haven't forgotten- if there is no post form me for over 3 months- send me a messsage, PM me, give me a shout, or contact me in some way to make sure I haven't forgotten!

Many of we BG users, and I clearly count myslef among them, greatly appreciate your efforts in keeping this lifeboat afloat. While I admit this is my usually watering hole for information about the status of BG when I can't log in to it (like today, 12:30 PM on the USA east coast - still can't get in, it just times me out) I do pop in at other times to see what's afoot. markf

I'm just peeking in - I got a laptop for Xmas (finally- a computer that's mine, all mine!) and I'm transferring over my important bookmarks from the family desktop- and I have to have Spare Goggles, of course! I miss this little old place- maybe I'll just snuggle down in this big old comfy chair for a while with a cup of tea and an almond cookie before I resume my trek through the aetherweb.

luv,
Mrs. S.

*falls in water*

[Zwack]

And every few days there is a new post... The people that post here make it all worthwhile.

Well, I can't tell you of faraway lands but I am living in the Oregon Territory these days. The extreme snow of the last week has cleared away and navigation is once again possible.

Anyway -Happy new year everyone!

This is a nice quiet place to visit. Each post can be read without being lost in the ocean of posts that show up each day on the main forums. Don't get me wrong, I prefer a very active forum and I love the BG forums, but sometimes it is nice to slow down and find a nice quiet place to join in a more low key conversation.

You may be right about that.

[Sir A Poiselamppe]

Hello....

Damn everyone's out again, hall leave the Madeira cake and Sherry by the door for those who want it...

Back to laying carpet, one of the side effects of which is to make your fingertips sore.

ow....

Aha!!! We appear to be upsetting the Neighbours, must me the generator for the arc welder......

BTW has anyone seen the cat?

[Zwack]

Hmmm, I think the cat was over there.... right where someone put that cake...

Oh well, perhaps if we stop using the arc welder on the neighbours we'll be able to hear where the cat is.

Well in spirit if not physicality -my face has swolen up horribly and I am consigned to bed- but at least it has let me spend the best part of a day on BG (and SG)

Oh no ... sounds dreadful.
Get well soon.

[Prof. George of Chaos]

I hope the face clears up fast Pheobsky.

Nice Dr. Steel banner, Captain.

Its pretty much all gone- apparently the MMR jab doesn't completely prevent you getting mumps- its still available in a diminished form without all the additional extras...
Basicly I had to sit inside for a week for fear of infecting others, but not actualy being too ill at all (other than the puffy face) still it wasn't too bad I got to be pretty lazy!
