Congratulations, Poppy.

I have been admiring your posting skills for some time now. It is no surprise to me that you have reached 2000, unlike lesser lights such as Ali and Cleopas.

CHEERS,
NELSON.

Don't count me out too quickly, Mr Hatstand. I post at regular intervals here. I'll be at 1000 soon ... and I've been here less than a year. I even got 2 months off for good behaviour! :D

Hey Poppy congratulations. Does that make you 2/5ths as good as Porty and Dadaist?

Tee hee, I'm only messing. You are the soothing yang to the sometimes raging yin of others.

Now there's a man I like. He's started a congratulation thread for Poppy after his own 3000th post was missed. If it was me I'd be sulking and building up feelings of resentment.

Bob, you're an example to us all, and congratulations to you too.x

It's true. But, if it's any consolation, I only steal from those I love.

I was in Carlisle railway station a fortnight ago. We had our biannual day trip to York but couldn't go there so went to Carlisle instead. :?

Congrats Poopy, never can so few have been appreciated by so many. 2000 and the eighth person to achieve it. I know you are a wee bit sensitive about age, like we all are but I think you are the oldest to reach 2000 , so far.

You can look at that stat in a couple of ways. I prefer the positive. ly xx

I remember them being called both - but I never worked out what influenced people's choice of name...

I read recently that Gillian McKeith wants to ban them Silly moo. :evil:

Well, gee, thanks for pointing that out!! :roll: :roll:

But I had a look and I am in fact the first poster over 50 (but only by 2 years!!) to reach 2000. :( :( :(
