Actually he has Sue - he and Tec have both behaved admirably.

His other thread kept him tied to the BBQ surrounded by smoke - Tec only ventured there once to have a wee peep.

He know his boundaries now (makes him sound like he has peed in all four corners) and there has really been no shennanigans.

He was hoping to get at least half a star back.

Hello everyone:-))

He saw it Perse, you sent the balloons full of your love, may he rest peacefully xx

How do you pronounce Pakeha?

We had another hot day here today, tomorrow is going to be a very humid day.

I pulled up in my car this afternoon at home to witness our collie bound the trampoline over the pool fence and into the pool, it was the funniest thing to see, he's so clever.
Ive had to move the tramp away from the pool in-case he gets in while I'm out, I'd hate anything to happen to him - I'd never forgive myself.

I hope everyone is well:-)

G'day Allan..Have you been sprung by our Sue? I actually like your Men Only thread, its much MUCH nicer than some of the threads Ive seen:-))

I'm not bad, had a headache for most of today, I think it must be the heat.

Welcome home Sue, I hope you had a lovely time away.

I thort the Men Only thread was very good - it got a lot of men onto chat and I think that's a good thing.

And Berona, you and myself along with several others including CC have enjoyed themselves on there.

Nicking off Allan?

Sue - welcome back. How was the trip? the wedding? the rellos? Hope all went well for you both.

The boys were OK at first, but then (as usual) Allan had to take up the challenge to start a thread for men only. And they say women are nosey!!
It brought the men out of the woodwork! Of course, it was the title "For Men Only" that did it! They all had to have a look. Even Tec ventured over there (although we haven't seen him since!). Maybe he got lost on the way back!

We had to go over there and keep an eye on Allen. Our numbers on here have been down so we've missed you very much. Linda hasn't come out from under her sombrero yet; you've been in Melbourne and Diane has been missing too. Don't know if her son took the lappy away from her or if she has committed murder upstairs and been taken away. Haven't seen much of Pat and nothing of Janet or Alison, so it's been very quiet.

The board livened up on Friday night and started again 'tonight'. I only came in about ten minutes ago and was reading the first page of one when it went blank on me. Oh well, I suppose we'll get the autopsies on it and they will say the same as they always do. In other words, Sue - you haven't missed much - things are the same as usual!!! Welcome home!

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well and I just know you've missed me:-)))

The trip was wonderful. We took 2 days to get down to the Mornington Peninsula which was just as well as the weather was horrendous. By the time we arrived in Portsea we were starting to think that the wedding - to be held outside - would be a disaster. Our hotel was lovely. On the Saturday morning it was miserable and we were starting to worry about the poor bride and family but by lunchtime it was starting to brighten up and just in time for the wedding the sun came out and shone on everyone. We all got a little sun-burned!! The bride - a pretty girl - looked absolutely stunning. A tiny 5'3" girl marrying a 6'7" basketball player sounds comical but somehow it wasn’t. They clearly adore each other. Ladies - the dress was just gorgeous. We caught up with family and had a lovely meal and then spent the night dancing and chatting – it was lovely. The next day we went over to the bride’s parents home and had a bbq and a good chat with family members who are interested in the family history. I was happy to give them information they didn’t have and they enjoyed telling me family stories. I can see that it won’t be long before we take a trip to the UK as I know that talking to family made my OH feel a little homesick. We then left to begin the journey home and arrived back around tea time yesterday afternoon.

I hope that the fellows have been behaving themselves. I have noted that as soon as my back’s turned Allan starts his own thread:-)) No Linda yet? I also noticed that the lovely Candy Caine has joined in – welcome, friend.

Sue xx

Good morning Sue,

I'm so pleased that yourself and OH had a good time at the wedding and that the weather didn't interfere with the big day.

Tec wasn't around yesterday so I do hope that both he and the Duchess are OK.

I've never been able to resist a challange which is why I put up the 'For Men Only Thread' I've not checked it yet this morning but I see that there are over 200 posts on it.

Good Morning Sue,

Yes, you are right - we did miss you. Welcome back.
Sounds like you had a great time, and enjoyed yourselves. Great that the weather co-operated just in time. I hope the newly weds have a happy life together. Isn't it good to catch up with family, and have a good old chin wag.
I hope the break did you good, I know you were a bit flat before you went away.
We too are supposed to be attending a wedding on Sunday next. It all depends how OH is - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It is her family, and she sees so little of them these days, so I'm really hoping she can make it.
It has been so quiet on here, Linda is not back yet - actually Mexico has had the most awful weather over the last week, with record rainfall, and serious flooding in some areas, so I'm hoping they were not affected.
Diane seems to have gone awol, but she may be having internet probs.

Anyway, good to see you back.

Good Morning Allan,

Congratulations on the "Men Only" thread. Was obviously much needed, but alas taken over by the ladies - you should have stuck a bouncer on the doors lol.

Sorry I disappeared yesterday, but had the nurses outfit on again from about 5pm onwards. The Duchess kept me on the run, and I was worn out by the time normal service was resumed. Anyway, everything ok today.

Allan Report 8 Feb 2010 21:25

Nurse Tec.....it has a nice ring to it :0))

seriously, I'm pleased hat things are now OK

I never expected so many posts on the other thread, or more to the point I was expecting many 'serious" type posts saying that I was lowering the tone of the Boards.

Good morning Sue and Allan. Is this all we have so far?
Good evening to any Brits looking in. Welcome.

So good that the sun smiled on you all for the wedding, Sue. Sounds like you had a lovely day and a good stay, overall.

I have already looked in on the "Women Only" thread and reported for duty. Can't be out-done, can we?

As said before, Sue. We had the usual Friday Night Special - only this time it went to 4:30am (UK). It started up again on Monday afternoon (UK time) but was whooshed. I understand a couple of threads on Tips and Records were also whooshed. That surprised me. I thought it was only Chat threads which did that. Interesting!

Good evening Tec. You posted while I was fiddling about.
Sorry the duchess has been needing your attention, but I'm sure it was the best of attention, and good to know that she is recovered, thanks to you.

Hi everyone,
I heard about the Men's only thread. I didn't know there was a Womens only thread as well.
I fancy it is getting colder here down South.
I hope everyone is ok
