this place echo's of past good times, good friends, good drinks, good fun.... I can still hear the banter of times gone by. A place where "some tend to remember and some tend to forget"

Cheers I think it's time to revisit the garden

Telling tales of walks round London and visiting friends - it's about time we did it all over again

Thanks all, seems I am having troubles with posting to individuals as my computer thinks I should wait half a decade. Thank you all for the welcome back

So amazing to see old friends

so... my question starts with some background.

how many folks on here are familiar with Reddit?

Wolverine · Post by **Wolverine** » Mon Dec 30, 2013 8:11 am

ok, anne, here it is. i found my soon-to-be sister in law on one of the sub-forums. i recognized her couch, coffee table, and her tattoo...

my question is, do i tell my fiancee what i've found? or let her find it on her own. i am 99.99% sure i say nothing to my SIL or BIL. and it's only a matter of time until my Fiancee finds it on her own.

my gut tells me i should play dumb about it.

fuzzywuzzy · Post by **fuzzywuzzy** » Mon Dec 30, 2013 2:14 pm

Sorry didn't realise you were directing that question to only one person .

I'll just go and sit in the corner and drink my beer.

Like YZGI asked, so what? Was she doing something she shouldn't have been doing, or said something she shouldn't have said? Unless your fiancee knows you check this HUGE site often, every post! playing dumb sounds like a good option. Tell us more please, we love gossip around here!

fuzzywuzzy · Post by **fuzzywuzzy** » Mon Dec 30, 2013 3:36 pm

Well I'm bloody confused I thought wolverine just had a major break up . and that's why the conversations about what he thought was his shallowness.....now he's got a fiancee?

I've lost it somewhere along the line. I've missed something or maybe have him confused with someone else .

See this is why I never get gossip........I'm hopeless at it .

Had to look that up:

"shout - Aussie Slang definition on Australian Dictionary

australiandictionary.net/shoutâ€Ž

shout: Shout a turn to buy a round of drinks usually alcohol eg."

Of course! What kind of guest would I be?

I like the word 'quiche' as J'amie uses it. Is that common in your part of earth?

Ahh got you mixed up with someone else.

Well it can't be that bad. You're on the same site. 'Cast the first stone' so to speak. And if you've got a fiancee why are you looking at naked pics of women on hte internet? lol

Ha. ha. very funny.

"christmas" with that side of the family, over New Years, was tricky. i had to keep coming up with excuses not to be in the same room when she walked in. kept wanting to to Hi-Five the Bro-in-law.

Fiancee was picking up on my... awkwardness... and was trying to fish it out of me. told her i was planning a surprise and she had to butt-out. she stopped asking questions after that.

my new mantra is "I saw nothing. i know nothing. deny, deny, deny"

Vodka and Lemonade please, just back from the fireworks and the fair. Marks the start of a crazy weekend, lots of parades tomorrow, many bands, dancers and street entertainment in general all over town. :guitarist

Awww Ye Ole Pub memories, haven't there been a few.

It will take me hours of uninterrupted reading to get through all the old posts of Pub #2 (I don't even recall where #1 is hiding)

The people that came and went, those who stayed, those who returned after long breaks. The mighty pub has stood the test of time. Look Far's Pants are still on the wall.

Gosh I bet there is a whole lot I have forgotten too. (Aging is so hard on the memory)

But look at the posting numbers, wasn't this just the place to be.

Interestingly the bar always remains fully stocked, the barkeep is always ready with a smile, and every guest is welcome.

Allow me to get a little melancholy here for a moment, this forum kept this and #1 pub going for how many years, this one started in 2007, and everyone was welcome as each and every one of us who entered sat anonymously behind our computers and enjoyed the company of other anonymous FG members. We had fun didn't we.

Pour me a nice full body red wine barkeep, I am just going to take a wander down memory lane and toast all the old friends, I have missed you all, and it should be no surprise that I make my way back here for a drink on my first day back.

To friends both near and far, to whom you were and who you are. You have touched my life, and left a mark, emitted flame or just a spark. We came together here to post, I raise my glass to all I toast.
