EileenH 496 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 (Don`t know if this is the right place to post this - apologies if I`m wrong.) Being new to this forum malarkey I went into another (nameless) Nottingham site as a guest. I was really sad to see that many of the threads consisted of really nasty posts between two or three members who were obviously at serious odds with each other. I don`t mean banter, I mean really nasty stuff, name calling like bar steward and words with asterisks in them I decided that I didn`t want to go there again. It`s really nice and welcoming in `ere innit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian36 0 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 You’ve had a smoother ride than I did when I first came onto this site Eileen. What’s the name of that site you didn’t like for its abusive postings? That EP blog made for interesting reading, its gave me an idea. 36. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargaretH52 0 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thank you. such loverly people here. I lived on Alfreton Road, When we got married we lived at Chilwell for a couple of years before moving to Arnold, When my husband passed away in 2005, I moved to my present address in Wollaton. A smaller place. I am finding some fond memories on this site and will reply to them when I get time. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Margaret, it’s a refreshing change to have a woman on the site, I find women more tolerant than men and not so quick to make judgements on others especially if they have never met. So Margaret what exactly attracted you to this site? For me it was the friendly atmosphere created by the banter between members similar to what I’m having with two of them at the moment and the companionship one feels while sitting all alone behind a computer screen with ones ankle giving one jip, those moments are memorable to be treasured to the end of ones days I reckon. 36.

Owdtite 2 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have only been here a couple of days and am still finding my way around, so many topics and posts to get through and everyone ringing a bell with me. I think this site is just brilliant, I dont know who owns it or who started it but well done you. And like Margeret, I have also had a very warm welcome, its a bit like "coming home". Thanks for having me. Owdtite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are planning on trying to be up there for RAF Leuchars air show , and a visit to Inverness/Lossiemouth/Kinloss and then up to John O'Groats . It all depends on whether we move to Cornwall this year !!

Hello Brian, Sorry about your ankle? I found this site whist searching googal for places that I have lived in my lifetime. It brought me here, and I did some searches, I was amazed by the stuff I found on this site. I must say I have not witnessed anymosity in my readings. and the site has kept me busy. All seem to be lovely people to me, and quick to jump in with help and information from what I have seen so far, a refreshing change. I have yet to meet someone I know, but have seen people on here who have found people who lived in the same area as them . When I find stuff worth posting about, I will add some replies. Mags.

EileenH 496 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Morning Flatcap, If you`re on state pension you shouldn`t have to pay fines on your library books. You don`t have to in Derby. You just flash your bus pass thingy. I took a late book back last week and got my purse out but the librarian said, 'No charge' When I asked why she writhed with embarrassment trying not to say, 'Because you`re a pensioner.' In the end she said, 'The computer said not.' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Yes that's true, also applies to speeding camera,s, next time you're driving at 70 down Westdale Lane make sure you flash your bus pass at the camera, lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Wow! Mega! I`ll have to get myself a car, then. Have to get everything I`m entitled to, me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
