Hi thought I had joined years ago but no

[BroadScot]

Oh Keith, i'll be keeping my beadie eyes on you O^O¬  Alan canny help being afflicted. Its awe these extra posts we are having to read! 

 

Iain.

[CooWee]

"Its awe these extra posts we are having to read! "

 

Indeed Iain, hope were not going to be examined with questions of who said what, where!

 

I think I will call it a day there.

[Polly]

LBBY? I wouldn't fault it. Jason on the other hand..... works too hard! I keep telling him!

[ExSurveyor]

Time for new members to form an orderly queue, the on going advert in another place is encouraging well known and respected posters to find this pleasant place.

It is great to see an equal balance of experience and novice joining the ranks.

[MauriceMynah]

Yes Mark, perhaps it is we who should be raising a glass to "Absent friends"

[JennyMorgan]

Got to say, that like Jason, I did wonder about jumping ship, so to speak. I had always avoided this forum for reasons that are now completely irrelevant so making the move did take a bit of an effort on my part. However I am glad that I did and can thoroughly recommend the NBN to both Jason & to all others who might be hesitating.

To absent friends.

[Maxwellian]

I have to say that I read several forums, two in particular I joined this one several years ago when Wattny ( not sure spelt correct) moved. Up to that point I only knew about one. I still read both and find useful articles on both. I find this one to be more friendly and feel more at ease contributing.

I just wish I lived in a world where we all got on and loved each other. We don't all have to be the same just respect the difference........so far I have found that here.

[Viking23]

Well today I have made my first post in over two years, that I have been a member.

Sorry I have been away so long.

I hope to contribute to as many posts that I can help with.

Electronics, electrical work, and Honda Outboards, seems to be where my boat expertise is.

Together with alternators etc, to which drew me to making my first post in years.

Glad to be back.

Specialist subject forums have become one of the major knowledge benefits from the Internet.

 

The ability to communicate instantly with other people interested in the same things is probably the biggest community advance forward since magazines and newspapers were invented.

 

I participate on several of them on various subjects, and  have no declared "allegiance".

 

I'm interested purely in the content, and that comes solely from the members.......

[LondonRascal]

Well I have been a bit slow to this thread and the new members - so hello all

 

It matters not what a forum is about, but it is nothing without its members – this forum has a far more open feel about things, a friendly place somewhere views can be discussed and shared freely.

 

I’ll be posting more here keeping you at times entertained, and at others shouting at the monitor for the errors I make – I’ll also be supporting it where I am able and spreading the word.

[JennyMorgan]

Thank you, NBN, for welcoming myself and other refugees from that other place. I have just taken a peep at a thread regarding those of us who moved over, the genie is well and truly out of the bottle now. NBN, thank you for being as you are, a far more pleasant place to be.

[JawsOrca]

I'm sure many of us read that (i'm shocked!) and I'm the same will not happen here.. I certainly don't think hiding the post from the listings was a good idea.. Welcome over here though! I admit it would be nice to only have one forum to read though! 

[Hockham Admiral]

Peter, you are all our gain, and long may you enjoy the company here. :clap

[NonTecky]

I think today is the day for me to say Hello too! 

[JennyMorgan]

Alan, unlike you I welcome various Broads forums, I can then support the one of my choice.

[unclemike]

the post in question is now removed after robin's reply which laid it on the line and odviously ruffled some feathers, glad to be out of it

[MauriceMynah]

JawsOrca,

Do you ever drink in the Three Tuns, lower Halstow? (or even know of it ?)

[JennyMorgan]

John, you are much too kind.

I'm especially looking forward to the further wanderings of London Rascal and the ramblings of everyone else.

[JawsOrca]

No sorry, We only found Lower Halstow a few months back actually.. we moved here 3 years ago but haven't really got about much. Is it a good one? (we try to go into the tudor rose at upnor as that has a east coast feel to is).. the yacht club here has a bar too which doesn't help us try our local either!

 

JawsOrca,

[ExSurveyor]

Three Tuns, I know that one, nice place.not far from me.

I want to keep shouting at you Robin, so please keep posting, as you are part of what keeps me going to my next holiday on the Broads.

[BroadScot]

JM you sure canny beat a guid ramble  

 

Iain.

[BroadAmbition]

Welcome to all the 'Newbies' new and old - there is quite a few of them/us of late. (Wonder why that is? )

 

I'm feeling a bit bruised at present and proper annoyed at having to post and defend mysen in that other place. I like the members here much more and especially the mods (Creeping again!). 

 

Thanks to the old faces for making me welcome

 

 

Griff

[BroadScot]

 Griff ...I see you    Creeping indeed,  

 

Iain.

[JennyMorgan]

Several of us have felt compelled to defend ourselves, sad.

Griff, BA & the Griff-Tile van would look the woof-woof's wotsits with NBN house flag style 'go faster' stripes in place of all that bland white or green, don't you think?
