Accrington is Dead!

[Less]

As usual Kestrel isn't very original, we've had several mealy mouthed, bitter members over the years trying to say the site is dead, a couple that come to mind are a mediocre M.P. and an ex local Councillor, both of whom used the site to gain votes when they needed to but drew in their necks after being voted in then found the questions from our members couldn't be answered by the usual political bull****, so their parting gifts were throw out the dummy and claim the site was rubbish.

Of course the site isn't as busy as it used to be, times change and so do people, far better to be a member of faceblight or twitcher than have to answer the honest questions that many of our members are capable of putting forward.

Hey, but what do I know?

I get up everyone's nose.

You heard right Ma, it was also in the papers so surely Kes-X can now be happy that justice has been done.

Of course he should be, but I can tell you that it is unlikely that this will satisfy him.
He was just using the story as a vehicle to promote recreational use of the stuff....insinuating that if it was used for medicinal purposes, well then, where's the harm.
Diamorphine is used for pain under medical supervision(a controlled drug) heroin is its Street counterpart...class A and illegal.
Just because something is used in medical practice does not mean it is safe for recreational purposes.

Thanks, Dave, I do try.

As for you, Less, I must tell you I am so pleased to read your postings again as whether they are controversial or not I enjoy them very much. Your absence for a while there had me worried, I even asked Margaret P if she knew why you weren’t posting. I hoped you were okay.

Here's cheers to the regular contributors that keep this forum so worthwhile and interesting.

Just getting on with real life was all.

Yes Less, life has to be lived in the real world, but it is great to know that you have been missed from the forum.
(we always get worried if someone disappears from the horizon...thinking that there may be health issues....that is always the first thing that springs to mind....never that their internet has been on the fritz, or their computer has blown its brains out)
I miss your witty, honest and sometimes irascible posts when you do not post...but it makes them much more valued when you come back.
(note to self...maybe I should stop posting for a bit)

People would start to worry if you stopped posting after 5 minutes.

[dotti34]

So Less, you were just getting on with real life. Hmm! sounds interesting. Is it worth a blog?

They might, but then again...they might know that like you...real life with all its lumps has got in the way.

My posts have been fewer over the last months because of that very fact.

But then I see comments that imply Accyweb is dead and try to find threads I can post to.
No one wants Accyweb dead....do they ?

It may be that the age of the 'chat forum' are drawing to a close, but Roy will keep Accyweb going while there are members still out there.

As for people wanting it dead, I suspect the thread starter for one would like to gloat about it's demise, but where would he go to crow about it?

I wouldn't mind betting the person who started this repetitive thread may well do.

Not even worth a small ad in the news of the world.
I'm not a vicar or a tart so no-one would care if I was de-frocked!

[Margaret Pilkington]

No, no, no....Less. You make out that your life is not interesting.
I cannot for the life of me believe that.
We know from the posts you make....for instance when you have 'interesting' interactions in the town....that your life is colourful and varied.

There is always room for another blogger.
I would read it...and I know Dotti would. Everyone has a story to tell.
Now, if you do not wish to share those experiences that is a different matter

There you go you see, here I am padding out yet another day of nothing much happens, by introducing imaginary enemies, (too sad to have imaginary friends, (they start off as imaginary friends (doesn't last long)) (somethings always wrong with them) then you get in touch with your 'aah what a shame' side and I've got you hooked.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, it doesn't take much.
Blogs can be about anything you want...truth, faction...or out and out fiction.

So your imaginary friends...or for that matter, imaginary enemies would be welcome...and we would happily read about.
