One year on this forum!

[Deej]

Just realised, one year as a member on EBS for me. I've loved every minute of it. Haven't I caused a stir

[Carlotta King]

Congratulations!

Nothing wrong with a bit of a stir, haha!

Happy one year anniversary, Deej!

.....yes, well - congratulations Ben. Let's say you've certainly made your presence felt!

Are we starting to congratulate people now for being on here for 1 year!!! I've missed serveral congrats then!!

Your posts certainly do stir people up Ben, I'm sure you don't mean it to be that way, but sometimes you do and it's annoying. No hard feelings just saying what I feel, which I can do at my age I think!

Congratulations, Deej!

Well at least we don't all share the same opinions; it would be quite boring then.

Drat, I've missed a year too, Julie! Never mind; it will soon be no:2 for me!!

Don't worry Julie YOUR 10,000th post is looming!!! If your average post count is 4.14 posts a day and you are currently on around 9,691 aprox posts can any one brainy or good at maths tell us how long its gonna take before the celebrations can begin????

My guesstimate is April 1st 2014... (or thereabouts!)

Hmm, I think you rather enjoy getting the wooden spoon out! Happy Anniversary, Deej!

Happy anniversary, Deej - is it really only a year!? I have certainly enjoyed your posts - just think in a few years you will be celebrating joining the 10,000 club.

Just think what you will be like when you really do get old!




When I Am Old.


When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals,
and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
And run my stick along the public railings,
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
Or only bread and pickle for a week,
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised,
When suddenly I am old
and start to wear purple!

Well I hope I won't be as bad as that list you've just posted, Francis!

[Moonraker]

I thought how nice you looked in your purple dress, coat and shoes looked when we last saw you, Julie.

[pete9012S]

Yes,just before she disappeared into a sausage shaped cylinder.....

[Carlotta King]

And had a bit of trouble steering the cylinder if I remember right!

I am sure you will be your own woman whatever happens! Mind you, I have noticed that Izzy has already developed some of these qualities - she is always trying the samples in chocolate shops!
