I just want to say that I find your answer perhaps the most well written and thoughtful responses I have ever witnessed on here.
I do not know if you were somebody else on here previously, and frankly I do not care.
You are thorough, intelligent, have just the right amount of wit and are bang on with your advice and information.
Thank you for bringing a modicum of common sense on to AB when there are so many who just post inane crap and fuel the fire with swathes of hate and jest.
Sorry to change the subject but, WM... the question you posted last week about the bird on deal or no deal, she was from Southgate and not South London as someone else posted, and the black bloke Mikey is from Enfield
I take it then Wardy, that is one of Fina's many and varying IDs? In which case I will not pay any attention. In my opinion you shouldn't either. I am well aware of the history.
Shadow: My goodness! Thank you for your kind words. But I hardly feel I�m deserving of such accolades. You are very kind to say what you have.
No, I have never had any other permutations or nom de plumes within this group. I only found it by accident (is there ever such a thing?) when I was trying to find out the name of the band who played on a recent Marks & Spencer�s advert.
Being here has been a learning experience for me. I�ve met some lovely people. And on the same hand, I believe I�ve met some very lonely people who are desperately seeking validation in one form or another.
I may have misunderstood the ethos of AB at first and therefore, perhaps a bit too rigid in my contributions. Now, days on, I see there is an actual thriving community that provides a life-blood to some.
Community is an important thing in our modern society where the paradigms have shifted from one-on-one friendships to masked communications of fa�ade and fantasy.
I can honestly say it has been an honour to share. I hope that my own life experiences have been able to touch someone else�s need.
Yes, but what is the name of this village that the Vicar is from. Is it a cobblestoned paved quaint, hidden in the valley, type of hamlet where the bluebirds sing and the tweed -skirted ladies hop onto their bicycles and do their basket full of shopping for two days. Also the men with their leather-elbowed jackets tamp into their pipes and order 'another jolly good round.' Perhaps water-cress sandwiches are are only 3d every Thursday at Mrs' Ramsbottoms cafe......Sorry, Vick, I had to have a go.
have noticed the vicars insightful comments on a lot of subjects,wondering the same as stewey though, and also have to ask, what is the vicar doing up at this time of the morning, has he put as much thought into his sermons as he has into his ab answers? I hope his parishioners are not suffering on our behalf!
Slinky: I�m on a rota several nights a week to cover our local hospital�s needs, as well as our constabulary. I suppose it�s Murphy�s law, that if I go to sleep, invariably the phone will ring. So I try to hang in there until 2ish, then hit the pillow. But never fear, I�m always up by 0630. Thank you for the thought. Thankfully, when I�m in Moldova I have sufficient parish coverage. That�s a gift in which not all parishes are as fortunate.
