I've just set this up as an experiment to see whether this would be a good home.

Hi Gordon, here we all are then. Thought I'd better sign up ...... just in case.
Now let's wait & see what happens with Amazon. At least we know we have a bolt-hole if needed.When's Collette showing up with the munchy box then?

You need to attract someone from the religion forum
Just posting this...to get rid of the Group rules pop up thingy!
What do you think Gordon, put all types of discussions here, politics/religion/music etc etc? Might be good in one place?
Serial wrote: "What do you think Gordon, put all types of discussions here, politics/religion/music etc etc? Might be good in one place?"I think it's possible, SST. I'd just need to change some group settings. Not sure I want anything to do with many of the inhabitants of the religion or politics forums, mind. If someone flags the group for abusive posts it'll get closed.
Let's wait & see what happens with Amazon, then we can decide what we want to do here.

Good point, where is MOT? Maybe we should set up his threads for him, get em all ready.
Suzy, I moved your new thread to the Games folder just to make sure this is the first thread new arrivals see for the time being. Can you still see it?
Thank you, Gordon, bear with me while I look as I'm finding this Forum layout a bit of a challenge at the moment - LOL! ;o>

Hi fellow castaways! I just drifted up on one of the southern beaches. Hopefully we can all gather together democratically and have some interesting discussions. Anyone watching the sitcom "Wrecked"? - I think it's from the same stable as "Flight Of The Conchords".
Couldn't find my verification email. Doh!! 😳Morning guys. I come bearing gifts. I ate most of the chicken pakora though and the rest needs heated up. 🤗

That'll do me nicely.
Sunny in Shropshire & Staffordshire this morning, too. Makes a change.
Derek wrote: "Good Morning from Fowey"Hi Derek. I hope everyone's having a good time, especially after the nightmare journey Lez had to get there.
Hi everyone. Almost worth the journey to get £150 refund!Enjoying some good weather. We rather ignominiously came 4th ( not even a teapot) in the quiz, the picture questions did for us ;-(
I have email contact with 4 of the American Classical posters (one a Scot who posts on UK classical too) is it OK to tell them about this site as well? They probably won't be interested as there aren't enough to form a new group but I'd like them to know we're here.
Torrential rain in Hampshire earlier on but quite sunny now
Blue skies and glorious Autumn sunshine here in Stockport right now after a long night of whistling winds and persistent rain.I think what I am struggling with on here is that I really miss the clear, empty, and uncluttered pages I am so much more used to seeing on my lovely large screen Laptop? And it is yet another big reason right now for me to feel so extremely peed off with Amazon!
The closest that I can get to describing it is - that this layout feels to me far more like trying to find a space on what is already quite a full wall of graffiti to be able to leave my mark and then hope that it gets seen? Whereas Amazon's layout felt like it was such a massive endless and almost empty Playground to be able to just go for it, to race around on and feel 'free'?
I don't like feeling 'confined' by these much smaller post boxes and seeing so many far more distracting and busy-looking pages, I guess? - but I'm sure I'll get over and used to it eventually ;o>
Clicking 'Discussion Board' from the main page, or 'Discussions' from the side, it gives a much cleaner look. It's still squashed, mind :(https://www.goodreads.com/topic/list_...
It takes some adjusting to, doesn't it? We were very spoilt by Amazon's clutter and also mainly sponsor and advert free layout ;o>

Gordon - yes we are, even the weather has been pretty good and Rig the doberman has been having a fine time charging around the local beach on our daily visit:-)

Yeah...same here Collette...took me awhile to realise that Gmail has several folders. I didn't noticed that I had a 'social' folder! I requested the verification email 5 times, before I found where it being sent to! D'oh!
Any Poppadoms left, Collette?
