Having been away for about a year, got out for good behaviour:D I see having just read the Bin Laden thread that it is business as usual on this forum...

Lets insult America, Lets retort to the British, lets all go around and around in self imploding spiral...

Ah... so nice to see that some things never change..:eek:

As one of the main perps in that little fiasco, I have to tell you, it was actually more fun than I was letting on.
Actually not really, mostly I often wonder why we can say things on the net we normally wouldn’t say in person.
Or why our positions get so exaggerated.
Welcome back from the abyss.

Thanks Pal, good to be back..

If only the world could settle all it's conflicts by hurling insults at each other across an internet forum... the world would be a better place..;)

I for one am glad that Bin Laden is dead, did I sing and rejoice.. no.. but I can understand how some people would...

I can remember 9/11, it is still very fresh in my memory, I can remember sitting in front of the TV open mouthed watching events unfold... I can remember seeing images from the Middle East of people dancing and singing in the streets at the fact that several thousand of the 'Infidels' had been slaughtered...

Should we take a life for a life, no of course not, but sometimes it is unavoidable..

Will the world be a safer place without BL... sadly not, there will always be some mad man willing to take up the mantle... Better the devil you know I say...

If I had ultimate power, I would pick Britain up out of the north sea and move it 5000 miles west and few miles south, so it was just off the Florida Keys.. ;) Rather than be next to the mad europeans..

Really, no one has posted anything bashing anyone in a while.

:eek: Right in the path of all those hurricanes etc No thanks I think our climate etc is just fine, true we should be out of Europe the biggest mistake we made in the 20th century was rescueing the frogs, ok I know we had a little help - from the Ruskies. ;)

Hmm lets think why is that, who's missing?

I just like to think the forum has "matured" a little. :p

I'm sure I know who you are talking about. Perhaps my disappearance had something to do with it. He liked to eg me on.

Haven't seen here Cindy for a while. . . . . . .:)

BTW - I think it's 10 years this year since the towers fell over. Are there any special ceremonies in the USA to mark the event on 11/9? Maybe a public holiday or something?

What are they doing with the old site? It looks like a building site to me - how long does it take to build a mosque?

Finally admitting how misinformed you Col?

This is a great day.

As usual, you've lost me with your broken English response, I know English is not your first language - but - any chance of a more coherent reply?

There are quite a number of the old gang that now don't grace us with there presence anymore, you're not on much for a start, then Rich, Cindy, Ken, and others, hell I even miss Pauldohart, .

My visits are brief, Hazel is in a Marie Curie Hospice at the moment with yet another cancer so I spend as much time with her as possible and come here for a bit of mind distraction.

Cheers

Brain,

Words are inadequate, but love is not. People love you and care about you.

Sounds like I popped in for a visit just in time. Sorry to hear about your troubles, Brian. If she's in a hospice, it doesn't sound hopeful. Having had several family members that have battled cancer, that is something that worries me about my future. I try not to miss any doctor appointments.

Col, have you been behaving yourself?

Thanks Thales and Cindy, yes it is only a matter of time, 19 years of fighting myelo fibrosis have left her immune system very weak so chemo is out of the question, She is much stronger thn i am, I had her home for a few hours today and as soon as i got her out of the car she was pointing out things that needed doing in the front garden, She's great.

Sorry to hear that. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Good to know she still feels well enough to hand out orders for your honey-do list. :)

Cindy, you know I am always good, in fact, these are my first posts for several weeks, I log in but just keep quiet. It's just Josie and I having a little banter, perhaps one day I will understand what he's on about.

But that pales into insignificance compared to what Bri is facing - I know a little of what it is like to see your wife deteriorate over the years. I know Bri is thankful he has friends here and he is not alone.

People move on - that's the way things are.

Plus of course some of those you mentioned left because they became fearful to post in case they got banned - we all know one wrong word that upsets a certain US mod here leads to a lifetime ban with no explanation or reprieve. It's the US way, guilty, and no chance to prove innocence.

Anyway, I've said enough, I'll post again in a few weeks under one name or another depending on which ones are not banned for speaking out.

Col

Cindy, you know I am always good,

Har har. ;) Seriously though, you seem almost...amicable...lately. What's happened to you? :)

I'm pleased to hear that you're minding your manners, even if it's only because you're feeling forced to. :cool:

Having been gone for a bit I just read the news about David Crake. Terrible news really. I rebuilt my machine with Windows 7 so it's taken me a bit to make it back to all my websites. Aside from being busy, and not involved with Access nearly as much any more, that is. In fact, at my work here they are wanting to obliterate Access databases, and they are saying that starting this year or next they are going to start installing the lesser version of MS Office that doesn't include Access to try to keep people from creating their own databases which then become a mess because people don't know what they are doing and all of a sudden they are 'mission critical' databases and they need IT's help. :rolleyes: I'm trying to re-do some of my Access databases into to SQL Server or Oracle Apex to get rid of them.

I still have to pop around from time to time though to see how everyone is doing. Awfully quiet around here these days. I also miss Tess and Idjit. And Selena. Let's see, who else?

Sounds like what we are doing at my job. Unfortunately, I'm one of the IT resources that has to help convert them to SQL Server and Oracle with my Access experience. :rolleyes: :p

In fact, at my work here they are wanting to obliterate Access databases,

They did that at my work a few years back. They said Access was too "network intensive", so stopped me and Ally doing any more new ones. They gave us new jobs, that's when I decided to retire early. Money wasn't a problem so I gave up work, I wasn't enjoying my new job anyway.

Cindy, interesting that you haven't been around for the reasons you described. If we were to believe what the mods here say, everybody left because of me and Rich. Just shows how wrong people can be.

Oh, I am amicable:) - I have respect for less than 3 people on this site and you are (and always have been) one of them.

Good for you that you had that option. It'll be a while before I can even think about retiring. Unless I win the lottery. I'll hold my breath and wait for that to happen. :(

Well, it is true that it wasn't much fun to come around for a while. I know of a couple of other people that got tired of the constant bickering and sniping as well. So there may be some truth to that.

Well, thanks. :) You and Rich have always been nice to me, even when having a go at me. ;) Sorry to see that Rich hasn't been around much lately either.

Sounds like what we are doing at my job. Unfortunately, I'm one of the IT resources that has to help convert them to SQL Server and Oracle with my Access experience. :rolleyes: :p

I know the feeling. Only me and one or two other guys up here know anything about Access, so whenever there is a problem it ends up coming to one of us. Like the one a few months ago that was designed by someone in Finance...they were pulling in all of the payroll data into a new table in the database every time payroll ran, then appending that new table into an existing table that had ALL the payroll data for who knows how many years. Needless to say, the database was almost at the 2GB breaking point and was beginning to choke. That was the first time IT found out it existed, when they were yelling "Help!" :rolleyes:

Ah, well. Job security for a while, I suppose. :D

I think that is one of the most telling things you have ever said. It speaks volumes about what is really in your heart.

He's left the planet and now lives in another world:D

Brian

Brian, my thoughts are with both of you. Myelo Fibrosis has a lot of the same symtoms as the leukemia I have. Low platelets, weakness, etc. Even with mine in "remission" for two months, I am still fighing low platelets and anemia. Probably will for a long time. I take whatever I can from each day. Hope you do the same.

:eek: Right in the path of all those hurricanes etc No thanks I think our climate etc is just fine...
Brian

Oh Brian, you disappoint me :( It's all well and good for you sitting down there in tropical England what about us poor freezing sods up here in polar Scotland who have found ourselves on midsummers day donning our winter woolies! Let the lad move us south for Pity's sake :p

I'm sorry to hear that Brian. Hope she gets well soon x

I hope everything works out!
