You know him personally so you know he is , the new member would just be being rude.

I know jaysay as well, but I've never called him a plonker, are you saying as I do, I have to?

He's been called worse names than that, but only by those who actually know him, and are stood in front of him.
Jaysay your a right doodah.

That isn't swearing, it is 'love talk'

I was expecting it to turn into that once Jay quoted me, even when he copies and pastes his keyboard takes command and changes the spelling.

I think they just lack the vocabulary to swear properly, any suggestions ?

To get back on topic for a moment, I would be interested in what motivated the newest members on here to join.

So if I may could I pose a few questions;

What made you want to join.

Did you read the site for a while before joining.

Were you frightened by the registered members, to quote the thread title.

I joined because I live abroad and wanted to find old friends.
Yes I read for a while, tried for ages to post a thread(without success until helped by moderator)
Forgot-so rude of me- to introduce myself so didn't get a welcome, but the Golden 'Oldies' Jaysay, Cashman and Margaret answered some of my posts and I soon felt at home.

Ok do I get a prize for answering?
