Well as you know i havent been on here for very long but i would like to say a big big thank you to LadyFeeBee for being there when i needed someone to talk to, and for giving me some great advice and just for being a friend when i really needed one.
Shes a total star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My only reservation about doing this, is that I will miss someone out.
So please forgive me if I do.
This is in no particular order.
Last year I went through quite a rough time on here and in addition to our own Mark, 2 mods in particular were extremely supportive, if it wasn't for them I would not still be here. So Mal and Heather - many, many thanks.
Dawnie - who always makes me laugh with here posts and for being such a wonderful honest person and also for her support in the past (Dawn - I promise I will return it once I have washed it!).
Ice Piefor being, as said before... a true gentleman, flirt and all round nice guy and also for his selfless work in prep for the munches. I doff my hat (well I would if I had one).
Marms - well, for being just himself really - someone always prepared to help in what ever way he can. Whether it be a techie issue, an ego boost or a shoulder to cry on. Countless people on this site have experienced this.
Davej, Warwick and Choon for always giving my spirits a lift.
Vicky_UK and Steveg_nw for all their hard work for arranging NW events. Such a time consuming and thankless task sometimes.
And, of course, Sarge - always my friend!
But one person, who is still around very occasionally, will remain in my heart forever. A wonderful friend, a terrific wit, an extraordinary writer. Our wonderful Articifer.
I could go on, and on, and on mentioning people on here who, over the last couple of years, have had an affect on my life. But that would take all day.
As most of you know I do not like threads like this - sorry Lep old pal. This sort of 'beauty contest' is fraught by omission.
However, the list compiled so far has been a reminder of how many real diamonds there are in this place. There are more still to be mentioned and I wouldn't hazard an attempt to fill in any gaps (God I can be such a coward on occasions). But, can I break a habit of a lifetime and mention one person who ticks just about every box in my book and that's Missy.
I have read this website for some time before actually joining it and I must say that some of the people who's posts I quite enjoyed seem to have disappeared of the face of the earth altogether. SunBunny was always eloquent and entertaining but she seems to have stopped posting, there's one in particular that I can think of.
Wishmaster had a thing to say or two also. Hit the mark quite a few times and sailed close to it many times more but always thought provoking I felt.
Postie is usually quite coherent but does have a tendency to waffle sometimes. But I particularly enjoy Dambuster's ravings! Now there's a spririted soul who has a firm grip on what's real and what isn't!
if I had to pick a hero from here it would be....... Naughtynymphos...... no don't reach for ya buckets, she really has been/ is a tower of strength for me, from almost loosing an arm( i was actually preped ready for the amputation) to just being there when i have had a shitty day at work.
She takes my rantings on the chin( and I know I do rant sometimes) and no matter how down i have been she has always managed to share a little warmth and cheer me before long. So for that, she is my hero
i have a list as long as a toilet roll of people here who have done so much for me and been there when i needed them.
i am not going to list them cos that puts them in some kind of order, but they all know who there are.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
first on my list would be ...
marms...he has kept my spirits up with his posts
venus and mars ...for being good friends
voddy....another good friend
and last but by no means least...... the woman who has swept me away.....
velvettouch..love you :smitten:
For lots of good sense and friendly advice (well, some time ago, before she disappeared :cry: ) thanks to Rainbows
She's a bluddy star!
