A B Carol Concert

[naomi24]

Christmas is upon us again, and time for my annual thread remembering those we miss. 

 

My dear friend, writer, film maker and all round brain box, Chakka35, who died in 2014;  Mikey, passionate about politics, always entertaining, and never one to take disagreements beyond the argument.  We fell out almost every day but we remained practically engaged!   And dear old AOG, always up for a lively scrap and a force to be reckoned with in the News Section.  All greatly missed.

 

And whilst I'm on the subject of missing people, sqad, I hope you’re doing well - and Emmie, if you’re looking in, it would be lovely to see you back here. 

 

I wish everyone a very merry Christmas, and health and happiness in the New Year - and If you would like to add your own thoughts and your own special names to this thread along with your favourite Christmas music, please do. 

 

I've posted this video so often those kids are probably about 45 by now - but never mind.  It’s Christmas!   Sing up children!

 

 

Much love,  x

I miss Mamyalynne and Ummm they were both lovely and tolerated my sharp witted nature.

vetuste_ennemi for me.

Love The Pogues.

I remember all those mentioned so far, all very much missed.  I'm glad to see Mrs O get a mention, she used to have me in stitches at times (not that I would complain, I was terrified of the Marigold threat😀).

A Merry Christmas to all who still inhabit this environment, even the bigots I never agree with - oops, delete the name-calling it just slipped out 😁 😁 😁.

As someone who basically lives in Crosswords, I miss Mamyalynne, Dannyk, Jackdaw and even though it's been a good couple of years since he last posted, kayakamina.

But my best wishes go to all ABers, let's hope the site stays with us.

Those I miss   -  Ummm, Mamya, AOG,  Emmie,  China Doll, Fluff, my darling TriggerHippy and so many others.  Some that have been taken from us and others who just wandered away.

Silent Night and, sorry Naomi, Fairytale of New York.

Merry Christmas to all though.

Oh, and all the Biddies!

I was hoping Naomi would do her usual thread, I'm glad I found it 😊

The first is for my lovely Lynne, this was near the top of her list -

[Lie-in King]

My choice is the same as always -

My thoughts are with the families & friends of all those gone before us & those much-missed AB'ers not posting at the moment.  I send my very best wishes to everyone for a Merry Christmas. X

I would like to echo the thoughts of all the above . In particular the crossword gang who were the first to welcome me, and give a guiding hand, when I first joined. My favourite Christmas song is A Winter's Tale by David Essex
