However the new shiny forum didn't work out so we went to the Full Moon Pub

The Winter solstice has solsticed and they sun getting up earlier

Spring is on the way again

Early bird tickets are hatching fast so you better be quick

1 day until tomorrow. (Another day closer – yet it never seems to come)

Santa has emptied his sack (Ooh er!), did you get what you wanted? if not may be this year!

the FIERCE EYEBROWS of the 'Scottish' Doctor Who has returned in his doc martin boots and the face of Cardinal Richelieu will he rock out Missy? Or have they already??

THE SUN IS STILL HERE (hopefully it will be around for a few billion WOMADs) YAY!!! YAY!!!!YAY!!!! (Can't see it, mind)

I have slightly tweaked the 3rd line from the bottom of the morning countdown, hope no one minds, lines in sand, water under the bridge, oil on stormy waters, let's keep positive vibes, blah blah.

[sindigo]

Mornings,

Back to work after a week off--and in by 07:45 to boot! Pots and pots of coffee needed.

Could someone also tweak my own little bit of the countdown please. It has long gone past a super model and 2 fat ladies and I'd quite like to hang up them thar' boots in August!  
Thank you....

[Rendrags]

Also I see there's a reference to Wanderlust Radio. Does anyone know what happened to this? It seemed to stop broadcasting several weeks ago. I tried to contact Munners but got no reply.

[bloohair]

I just popped over to get my fix of Nigenet's countdown, I can bear to look at it now as more days have gone by than we have left!
Only 149 days to go, and only 18 weekends!!! Sounds better that way.

Will there be mud?

Do I need wellies or bikini?

[calndel]

both!

[calndel]

evening all

we are getting all set for our holiday next week and we have just ordered our euro

and now all we need to check in on line

[calndel]

SC no worries re the line change and it is always best to be positive

oh dear

Del had to struggle through a 10 hour day today on one cup of coffee, okay it was treble shot but he could have done with another coffee in the afternoon

anyway it's to late for coffee so  who'd like a night cap?
