Well, what do you know. They forecast rain. Not a drop!

Think we've got a micro-climate here. Perhaps the Solent is the cause. Bad weather goes up each side of it and misses my garden.

We did get the snow early this year though.

Hi Sylvia

I'm talking weather again I'm afraid but it's gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. After the heat we have been experiencing lately this morning I think the wind is blowing in from Siberia or something. What a difference in the temperature.

I was awake about 5.00 and got up for a cuppa. Did think of coming on to say hello - but decided to go back to bed instead.

Hi Sylvia

Having got the hose pipe out and given the garden a drink I've just had a look at Metcheck. Rain due for us most of the morning. Wouldn't you just know it.

Hi KiwiBird - good evening in case you've popped back in after dinner. When I worked in exports I had a little pencil pot with map of the globe round it. Was great - could twist it round to current time in England and then look round to where you wanted to communicate to see what time it was there. Wonder if I've still got it stashed somewhere. Would do me just fine now.

Expect Sylvia has gone off to the land of Nod by now.

I, like a number of other helpers, have a short black list of people we will not help or contact again


..... because of the commentsor reaction they have made/ had to us in response to our attempted help.

I heard about people having black lists when I first started on these boards back in 2003 ..... thought "not me". I would never do that.


That I came across a prime example

Number one in the book!



Jeanie ...... I don't even try to compete with them! I never really liked poetry, it was just one of the things I had to learn. Can't even remember it now!


so you're one step ahead of me!

Will not let it bother me either Jax. Just think how much nicer it would be if people would be a little more friendly and considerate. Ah well, do not suppose they will until hell freezes.

Good night to you and anyone else taking a peek at this thread.

Oh it does'nt bother me Jeanie, I just will not look for long lost cousins anymore hehe
I had one a while ago who wouldnt give much info to me but in the end I found all his aunts and uncles being born in the area I live in, which he knew already as they were all on his tree. I then get a reply asking what my interest is in his family?? and where do I live now? as though I was some sort of spy.
So if these people think they are going to find thier relatives by just putting a few names down, then good luck to them

Think I would have ignored what they said about not contacting them again and told them not to be so rude in future. You shouldn't have to take that from anyone Jax.

I feel quite :-(((

jax Report 24 May 2010 13:08

Well I didnt think so Jeanie, I also went on to give details on doing an electrol roll search, so I was still trying to be helpful. Whether they thought I was related because one of the births had the same christian name as me, or was it because I replied within 10 mins of them posting?? and as we all know our relies are sitting on GR waiting 24/7 for us to find them ha ha

Goodness me Jax! That is unbelievable to get a message like that. How can people be so rude? Must be very disheartening when you are trying to help them. I'm sure your message was not impolite.

Morning Sylvia. Roast pork! Delicious. Mouth watering. I'll go and have a second breakfast.

As to other thread on Tips - only thing I can dredge up apart from William Wordsworth's Daffodils is something like - I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by. Love that one but not sure I've got it all right.
