Honestly, as daft and 'special' as Bee is, his/her (?) posts and the bemused responses are truly entertaining. Let it Bee.

thinks to myself ... should a poll be set up to decide if "Bee" is really Blazey or Cyfr (sp?) both have moved on/up from Accy and probably have new ISPs. Who would have been most likely to have attended Mt. Carmel ?
my vote, Bee is Blazey ..... who else without a fascination for shops would post a thread about meeting an Accy Webber at 6 am in the ASDA

comments please

What you saying about people who attended Mt Carmel???????

There are quite a few people donate to help with the upkeep of the site SJ, their names usually appear in the visiting list in green, and I don't think for a minute that Bee is either blazey, blazey has to much to say than one line posts
