Antimony

Having spent several years driving several tens of thousands of miles per annum up and down the UK, both for business and pleasure, I now no longer enjoy driving. The standards of driving these days are simply appalling. I've driven today from Castle Cravat to the relatively local shopping mall, Mer...

So Pakistan win the Champions Trophy beating two of the pre-tournament favourites in the process (England in the semi-final and, India in the final. As England did a couple of years ago, I think thT a lot of teams have underestimated Pakistan. Because of security concerns upon their home country, th...

Good morning all. Lovely weekend here at Castle Cravat. A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday with our granddaughters. The farm park was a good idea, not just for the ice cream. The pigs went down well, "Grandad, it's just like 'Peppa Pig' they're all lying in muddy puddles." The Fathers' Day ba...

Err, Three!

EB, hasn't everything become more competitive? I 'm currently in the same room as a 7 year-old and a 3 year old playing snap. This far there has been tears, triumphant shouts of joy. Anyone would think that it was a matter of life and death. It's clearly more important than that. When it comes to 't...

Car treasure hunts are good fun. As you say Rwth, silly clues add to the fun. Recall one around Bridgnorth in Shropshire where the first clue was 'One-legged friar got on the bus.' Monkhopton was the answer,of course. Most recent experience of silly clues was on the recent river cruise. They had a f...

EB, you're absolutely correct about being grandparents except, nights like tonight. They're sleeping over. That means they get to stay up later and, it's a cast-iron certainty that, they'll be running round the walls at 5:30 in the morning. Love having them though. I am not the greatest fan of barbe...

I'm all for a Friday thread. I've exchanged e-mails with a poster that I consider to be a friend. She expressed the hope that I might join some of the refugees from Sue's, either in Peet's or on The Archers in Mustardland board. I explained that the former is not the best format for someone like me ...

Thank you EB. I have also received advice/support from 'Theta' in the past.

How nice to see 'Maggie'. Do reveal yourself. You are welcome here.

It seems that we have a handful (OK, three! ) current posters who have an nterest in cricket. So, I thought that I'd set up a thread on a great Summer sport. So, it's 'nail our colours to the mast' time. I'm an England supporter and, I enjoy all forms of the garment: T20, 50 overs, county championsh...

Good afternoon all. Tried to log in to Bowmanland as you suggested EB but, it produced the message, "You Have Been Banned From This Forum". That's a bit of a cheek when I asked for my membership to be disabled. I shall miss some of my friend but, I'm happy with my decision. Had a bit of a ...

Pleasure is all mine dear Wellsy. There are enough sad things occurring in the world and, we need an escape. I'm aware that people have problems; health, family, monetary etc. For heaven's sake I've had some of those myself. In such cases, I would look for a diversion. When I returned to work after ...

Spring Dragon,
Please feel free to start a Cricket thread. Another fanatic here.

An Tarb Dubh, I too have a good idea who the second Tau was. Whether she drafted the rather nasty post out for someone else to send or, sent herself, I know not. However, the writing style is a bit of a give away. 3Wells, How nice to see you. Like you, I welcome friends and intelligent conversation....

I was never banned in SmeeSues though, I was close to it on a couple of occasions. On the first in last November, a poster asked where 'X' had gone as she hadn't posted for several days. I sent the inquiring poster a PM, explaining that 'X' had been banned. Please note, this was a PM not, a post on ...

I am really finding (all) the boards increasingly difficult to deal with. Originally, I joined to 'talk to' people with a similar interest; enjoyment of the radio soap opera 'The Archers'. The fact that within the old BBC boards there were a range of threads covering a broad spread of discussion sub...
