Cred air o bob deg a glywi, a thi a gei rywfaint bach o wir (hen ddihareb Gymraeg) Believe one tenth of what you hear, and you will get some little truth (old Welsh proverb)
Again - I think I've missed every birthday on the new format until somebody else starts a thread - I'm usually logged on about 8:00 but I guess I don't scroll down quite far enough.
Anyway, belatedly Happy Birthday for yesterday.
I'm not too bothered about birthdays (I've taken my birth date off here) but I understand why they are are extra special to you. Don't take your bat home, we love your contributions, blame the techies!
Hippo bathday was yesterday, so Hippo towelday today.
Sorry youngster, three weeks off work equated to four hundred + emails and catching up with progress on a IT Health Check with hundreds of remediation actions, my eyes are throbbing.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
Dear Pa Snip, if there is one person on here that really does deserve to get some wonderful Birthday wishes, it's you. So pleased accept my belated Birthday greetings, and they are as heart felt today, as they would have been yesterday.....even if it's not quite the same.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful member of the forum.
I keep missing them just lately and it's for the same reason as others....i don't go down to the bottom of the page quite enough.
Happy (belated) Birthday Pa Snip. I'm not one who normally notices these things at the bottom of the page. Perhaps I should be a little more observant, and also a little more diligent at sending greetings when appropriate. Anyway, I hope it was enjoyable.
Belated congratulations on another birthday safely manoeuvred. Know yours have extra significance. Hope you had an enjoyable day. Permissio granted to extend the celebrations into the weekend!
I had a great, if completely knackering, day out at London Zoo. Made a change from going to RHS Wisley and not been to ZSL since I can't remember when, must have been a nipper.
Now in process of going through the 400+ photographs I took, sorting and binning the out of focus or plain naff ones.
It maybe that the 'Birthdays' element at bottom of Board Index page shows differently subject to whatever way you view the site I use Internet Explorer and it is clear and bold to me.
Hopefully something good might come as a result of my rant that will benefit the site and get more people feeling as though they would like to take a more active part in the forums.
I think it a shame that the site shows a membership of 3484, some of whom having moved on of course, but I reckon you can count the names of regular forum participants on your fingers and toes. However those regular users are a friendly bunch which makes this site a lot more pleasant to be part of than some.
The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego. At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet
I got no greetings on here either on my birthday! (Actually you have). After I got over the angst of that I noted how many birthdays I missed until someone else posted something. Birthdays is not so obvious as it was on the old site - easy to miss now!
But had I seen it Pa I'd have been right in there with something grander than 'Happy Birthday'! Would have included fighter, survivor, role model for dignity & giving the thumbs up to 'experts' etc! You are a legend - (well on here & for your family & friends)! But still Happy Birthday sums it up I think.
