Ah gotcha! I'm guessing that email is private, whilst the friends way is still viewable by your others friends, perhaps?

Ha ha, brilliant, Duke. And I thought I was daft requesting it twice. I'm on gmail as well,and didn't realise it was staring me in the bloody face. Don't get popadoms in a munchy box, I'm afraid. 😊
Where's my pint of Guinness, Timtim? I'm waiting. 🍺😐

You've made me totally jealous now, Tim. Imagine all that beer and wine going begging?? Lucky git ha ha. 🍺😊🍷
I'm guessing SST is using the van for his latest expedition so we'll be sitting on milk crates for a while longer.
van? i'm installed in a luxury penthouse in the north tower of thems goodreads mansion! it's full of books, which makes me happy like peeg in sheet, whatever happens with those crusty old amazon forums, i'm leasing this for the long term!
Gordon - a question! why is the emblem for the group a pile o' cheese slices? i'm edamned if I can work it out, unless you're just being krafty?

Cheese slices. Ha ha ha. 😆One good thing about being here...there isn't a yes/no button to use and abuse.
as long as there's still a naughty step, collette!
Well, there is a ... 'flag*' ... although I've absolutely no idea what it does and so I'm not pressing it in just case I then discover that I have accidentally gone and reported someone by trying it out - LOL! ;o>
Hello, Duke! Look its me! Here I am. :-))
Tech wrote: "as long as there's still a naughty step, collette!"Yep, Techy. I've given the old one a dusting down and brought it with me. 😈
Tech wrote: "....why is the emblem for the group a pile o' cheese slices? ....."The first settlers polished off the noodles, chicken pakora, beer and cake. Those curled-up cheese slices are all that's left.
Tech wrote: "Gordon - a question! why is the emblem for the group a pile o' cheese slices? i'm edamned if I can work it out, unless you're just being krafty?"It was intended as a welcome for our friend nocheese. However, as she hasn't arrived yet (is she still on holiday?) I'll think of something else that might be appropriate.
I bought a couple of shelf towers at Argos this morning. I've subsequently spent most of the afternoon trying to select my top 40 DVD/Blu-Rays (fairly easy) and top 100 CDs (almost impossible) to put on the shelves, rather than having to go & dig them out from drawers in other rooms every time I want to watch/listen to something. Ended up only selecting top 100 classical CDs: still another 100 of those and about 300 of other genres stashed in drawers. I'm musing on these to see whether I can think of an appropriate musical image to encompass the spirit of our bunch of vagrants.
I just found something I really like on here ... apart from you lovely bunch of fellow fruitcakes, of course ;o> ... I can now put up several Photos instead of just the one on my Profile Page!At last I can share a few pictures of my two little hairy woofers without having to try to find the words to explain what kind of a mixed breed they are and what they look like - YAYYY!!! ;o>
Hi everyone. Suzy invited me in here, and its nice to see some familiar faces. Oh, and I come bearing gifts.
ALL RIGHT!!! - now we can really party and settle in - YAYYY!!! ;o>

Thanks Gordon, I had a feeling it had to be something like that! Good to know but not a Button that I ever intend to press ;o>
Someone give Gordon a slice of pizza. He looks hungry!

! ! ! WOO-HOO ! ! ! - I am SO loving this place now ! ;o> ... ;o> ... ;o>
Don't ANYBODY give Gordon any wafer thin mints. We don't want to have to clean him off the forum walls!
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Oh, and Suzy..." - shiny sheep shunks? mmmmmm!
No, I'm pretty sure they are chocolate brazils. Otherwise Suzy is in for a nasty surprise...
Tech wrote: " - shiny sheep shunks? mmmmmm!"Don't give me any more very good reasons not to share them out with everyone else? - because I've got several million on standby already! ;o>
I have a question. Where are the camels? And the dates and dusky dancing girls, but mainly the camels!
Them camels are hiding in the cupboard wrapped in plain packaging.... :-)
It's a good hiding place. I can't find them.
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Someone give Gordon a slice of pizza. He looks hungry!"Hahaha! Choccy Brazils and Suzy!
Wow, posh pizzza! Never seen one that fancy! 😁
I see we've gone from a stack of cheese slices to a bunch of hobos worthy of Steinbeck. I'm sure nocheese will find us either way.
Val wrote: "...a bunch of hobos worthy of Steinbeck..."You've made me feel I should read In Dubious Battle again. My favourite Steinbeck novel, and already read three times.
Aha! I found the camels.
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Aha! I found the camels."Someone needs to give that place a good sweep. Anyone have a besom?
Is camel dung good fertiliser?
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Is camel dung good fertiliser?"Yes: I think the dung of any herbivorous mammal is good fertilizer. (I'd assumed that carnivore dung is less useful because it contains too much sulfur. Apparently it's more because of its likelihood of containing pathogens. The sulfur just makes it smell bad.)
Camel dung is also good fuel because it's so dry.
m.James von Liberal wrote: "Good afternoon everyone"Hello m.James. Apologies for muted response. I guess people are working out whether they know you from Amazon. I didn't visit the politics forum myself, as I can no longer cope with the elevation in blood pressure it would be likely to cause, so I didn't recognize your name.
