I agree Squiggle, El Loro's suggestion is a lovely one.  I'll be here on the 23rd.  Hope we can all make it.  Anytime suits me as long as it's pre-arranged.  Let's see when everyone might be able to get here at the same time. 

Good morning everyone.
Great suggestion El Loro to keep things going until the 23rd.

Congratulation to everyone for getting to Page 300 and the for achieving the post that did it goes to Yogi

Well done Yogi, the honour couldn't have gone to a nicer FM

Well done Yogi for getting us to page 300.  Now we have to keep the thread going near the head of the list until Wednesday.  Anyone got any prefered time to be here together?

What about 12 noon on the 23rd, would that suit most folk?

I'm on a mission here, this thread is gonna stay on page 1 if I have anything to do with it

12 noon on Wednesday, 23rd is fine with me.  Let's see what Yogi says; and anyone else who wants to join us of course. 

I will do my best to keep bumping the thread too Squiggle, even if I don't have anything much to say at the time!!

You and me Joyron just wittering on, something for which I feel I have a natural talent   Gee I'm modest, busy doing nothing working the whole day through trying to find lots of things not to do

Thank you for your good wished on reaching Page 300 - although it was all down to luck.
I have a nurse's appointment at 11.40am on Wenedsay but I can change it and be here at 12 noon.

I ate the first fruits of my labour (in the greenhouse) today - a big, juicy strawberry, it was delicious.

And to put everyone's minds at rest, Busy Doing Nothing is sung by Bing Crosby and others in A Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949). though people seem to remember this from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.

Holds spoonful of Devon clotted cream and looks at Yogi imploringly

Interestingly enough I was over visiting friends yesterday, he is an artist and they are having an open weekend as part of a local Arts Festival and there was a guy there looking at the artwork who is colour blind.  He told us (or at least his wife did) that he cannot, for instance, pick strawberries because he is unable to tell the ripe ones from the unripe ones, isn't that fascinating?

How about a swap, Squiggle - some of your gorgeous cream for some juicy strawberries?
The colour blind/ strawberry thing is something which wouldn't have occured to me. I guess it can have quite a big impact on someone's life.

I can "hear" Bing sing it as I post.

Are you sure you will be able to change the appointment Yogi?  If you can then let's agree 12 noon on Wednesday.

Between us we WILL keep this thread on page 1 until then.  It would be wonderful if Figtree came back to be with us then. 

Dollop of cream on its way Yogi, squelch squelch, might take a leetle while to go along the old tubey things to Scotland, hope its still good by the time it gets there

 We could meet up at 11 on the 23rd to save you making a change, I can make both, you decide!!

Bumpety bumpety bump

It's no problem to change the appointment, so if everyone is happy with noon on Wednesday, that's fine with me.

Cream was lovely, hope you enjoyed your strawberries.

Delish thank you Yogi, hey this cyber stuff is great , noon on Wednesday it is then!

Signing out for the night.  Will catch up again tomorrow.  Noon on Wednesday it is then. 

I'm signing out too, catch up tomorrow

That's me for tonight, see you at some point tomorrow.

Emergency bump needed - we're almost onto page 3.

If you're looking for something really different today and are in the Cheltenham area you could pop along to the Town Hall at the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain
!

Hi everybody, another lovely day in store, thank you for bumping El Loro, maybe catch up with everyone later on

Good morning eveyone.
Thanks for bumping the thread El Loro. It must have been busy on here last night, if we had almost dropped to Page 3.

Good morning everyone.    Hope you are all well.  I'm still feeling full of cold.  Wish it would go away.

Thank you El Loro for resucing us from page 3!!  Hope to catch up with you all again later. 

The forum is moving quite fast, makes a change , so a little bump is needed.

And again.

Just a little bump.  Squiggle you seem to be really busy trying to keep both threads near the top of the page. 

Afternoon everyone.

I am Joyron, my poor little fingers are worn to the bone

Just to save squiggle's fingers - we're heading for page 301 soon

Just a little bump.  XXX

I wonder who is Freddie's favourite out of this year's HM's.

Squiggle, Darlo posted a link on Page 299 which gives Freddie's thoughts on some of the HMs.

Thanks Yogi I will be sure to check that out sometime
