General Chat

Wend, so pleased you asked JBA that question, as I didn't like to do so on my first night here, but I'm really looking forward to the demonstration we'll be getting soon! :+)

Igor,thanks very much for your kind offer to share your daffodils with me, but I'll decline just now thanks, if you don't mind. Tell the truth. I'm full to bursting with all the tulips I ate earlier!!!

Tulips yumm my favourite , i like them sauted with just a hint of garlic and served on a bed of crisp fresh dandilion leaves or tossed in a fragrent mixture of marmite and peanut butter

OK Shelly, I'll remember to "shout" for you when it's late and I want a chat to someone, that'd be lovely. I don't have any ancestors in London, my lot all came from Liverpool, but I'll have a look at your graveyard thread, thanks for the link.

I'm a bit late on this thread; but welcome Katie. I am in Northampton so you can shout and I might hear you!

Birdi

EDIT; I am the only sane person on here, the others are fibbing

Hello Katie:-)

My board name refers to my sparkling walking aid ;-) I live in Wales and am considered quite friendly but a little strange...lol

Jump into any threads which you like the look of, you will soon get to know people.

I shouted first so there

OK Igor, enough of that now, you're making me hungry, and surely you know it's not good to eat such lavish food so close to bedtime. Anyway, all that garlic is SO unsociable! Now, that really is madness!

Please Wend, don't slope off, and its so bad for your posture for you to be walking round with your head down!No need for nerves and uncertainty either. Head held high, smile on face!
Birdi, another one in Northampton! Theres a few of us within shouting distance of each other.
Hi Sue Supercrutch. Thank you for the welcome. Dare I ask what makes your crutch "super"?

If you happen to visit Northampton market I might see you there; that would make two of us!

You dare..lol

I spray paint them and adorn each with coloured rhinestones etc. You wait till you hear about the Easter one complete with little yellow chicks and cream eggs :-))

Hi KatieW
Im a bit late too
but would like to Welcome you to the boards
you will enjoy it everyone is nice and friendly and lots of people only to willing to help :)

Well Birdi. Northampton market is a vast improvement on the Wellingborough one. I went there for some fruit today, and there were only 3 stalls being used, plus a burger bar. It used to be packed and overflowing when I was little. Such a shame.
Sue, your crutch sounds wonderful. A theme crutch! Shall have to visit Wales just to see that.
PollyPoppet, thanks for your welcome. I've not stopped chatting all night to some lovely people, so look forward to many hours spent in the same warm company.

Hi Katie

Welcome to the site ..... have you been tracing you Ancestry for long? People on the site have been really helpful - if you get stuck.

Hi Elizabeth. Not been serious in my research before, just dabbling really, but am going to make a definite effort to trace my fathers side in the next few weeks. Considering I know practically nothing about them, that'll be quite some task for me, and very probably will involve me begging for help from my newfound friends at a very early stage!

Hi Katie,my first time tonight also but Have been a member for about 8 or 9 years.I too come from Liverpool,great city.I've never thought to come on these boards til tonight but love to get stuck into my family research.
I will visit more often now though

Hi Katie

and Valerie Carole


I was born in Oldham, Lancashire, spent 5 years in Liverpool at the uni, 2½ years teaching in Northwich, Cheshire, then married in 1967 and we left the UK 3 days later.

We spent 1967/68 in Austin Texas, then moved up to Vancouver, Canada, for 2 years ...... and we're still here 40-some years later.

I have one daughter, she lives with her husband in Nova Scotia, and is expecting her first baby on March 30

I took early retirement in 2000, and have been on here since 2003/4. I spend a lot of my time helping people on other boards, and some time chatting on either here or General.



and of course I'm around at weird times because of where I live :)))

Hi Katie
I've been a member for about 6 years, but don't post on here very often. I originally come from North London and now live in a small village in North Hertfordshire. I have two grown up children 43 and 40 and one grandson who is 22. I took early retirement from my full time job about 3 years ago but now help my OH with his business. I enjoy reading the threads on here and some can be very funny. I've only met one of the members (Candy Cane/Housework Fairy), we had a mini meet about 2 years ago and she is a lovely person. Welcome to the boards I know you will enjoy 'chatting' to everyone.

Val

Hi Katie, and welcome to the Boards.

I'm Karen and....guess what? I live in the desert!!
Am currently in Egypt but we move around quite often so have been known to reside in various other deserts of this region. There's not many GR folk from this part of the world, but a chap called Keith (who is not a million miles from me, in UAE) posts from time to time.

Seems like you're learning your way around GR fairly easily, but if you need help just shout away!!

Anyway, I've got to to get those camels fed....cheerio for now,
K x
