Thought I'd come out of the new school cauldron to say hello properly. As a Newbie do I get any fun things to welcome me???

And he adores Budgies!!

Just being here is fun enough - and infinitely safer than actually going out with any of them

actually going out with any of them

Epykat, I think Foxy can only be the judge of how drunk we all were that night as she had a LOT of catching up to do

nice to be here though I must say it's far more addictive than any drug available. It took me years to give up smoking and many attempts... do you think this will be the case with POL?!

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 27 Apr 2006, 14:07

Welcome Gilo. Addictive? I find I can take it or leave it myself.

gilo · Post by **gilo** » 27 Apr 2006, 14:14

this must be the Crack Cocaine of websites, the rush of a post last for a few measly minutes and then I have to come back for more, in ever greater quantities. Thank goodness it's free and I'm not looting and stealing already.

Right I'm off to do some work, well cup of tea and choc, then work, or another post, then work!

Aha... a clue...I'm guessing you're female because of the choc comment

Nope just plain nosey

Wow what a fantastic site... I don't know why it has taken so long for me to find my way here. When I first moved to Porty, well Joppa it was on the strong recommendation of a friend in terms of community and child friendly etc. Anything that aids my feeling more involved in within Porty is very important to me, so a big thank you to the people that put the time and effort into this.

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 29 Apr 2006, 21:17

It's great to hear your enthusiastic comments Gilo. I started off as a bit of a lurker on the site when it was first launched and look where it got me

I'm not native to Porty, but love it here. A fair bit of that is down to POL and the really nice bunch of folk I've met through it.

gilo · Post by **gilo** » 29 Apr 2006, 21:21

I tried to lurk but I've got a bit much to say for myself.

I only just realised (thanks Dadaist!) that I should have come here first when I registered. My apologies to one and all ....

Now ... back to the action on the threads of this fine tapestry!
