Go back to Barcelona while you still can, Bonny. They are all mad except for me. In fact, I might join you. As long as it's not too close to Portimao.

Whose, mine? I have been cast aside in favour of what at best is probably a cat, and at worst, a budgerigar. I am sulking.

I could feel Sabot's, pain LL. Er........ er......... have you received your JD yet?
No. And it's not a budgerigar, they are three large cats and they own me! I do as they tell me, not the other way around. They want trips out, I drive. They want holidays, I drive. LL

My dog always throws up in the car.

PS. I hope they don't eat budgerigars, often.

**Sabot** Sun Sep 25, 2011 5:30 am

Christ, those cat's are bigger than my dog, and he's not little. A budgerigar wouldn't go far for lunch, or even breakfast.

Hi Folks. Been off line for six days. No Internet and no Phone. I have torn out most of my hair.

Back now.

I was wondering if you had abandoned me, ma petite! Nice to have you back! LL hug

Thanks for missing me, LL. It was a nightmare of the very worst kind. Shut off for ever from my friends on The Internet.
How sad is that?

As it happens, I did not become the epitamy of the world's best housewife or gardener.
I just read a lot.

Now trying to catch up. It is much too late for me to get a life. Bennett's shenanigans are as ever, riveting.

Gringo , good to have you aboard wave

**Sabot** Tue Nov 08, 2011 11:30 pm

Welcome from me also. But I have absolutely got to go to bed because I am an hour ahead of everyone else on here. Except for Tony and Lily who both live on the other side of The Herring Pond.

**lily** Tue Nov 08, 2011 11:52 pm

Night, Sabot. See you tomorrow.

**The Gringo** Tue Nov 08, 2011 11:57 pm

Success at last! I made it across the drawbridge in the nick of time. Thank you for the warm welcome! I am deeply honored to be allowed to join the JATYK2 forum. Sabot, thank you for being my friend. You have charmed me and enlightened my thoughts to the nth power. I look forward to being an active contributing member to the JATYK2 forum and shall endeavor to fight with you against all Pitch Forkers and simply any dirty rotten scoundrel as duty calls. I still have much to learn and I am eager for you to teach me. Again, humbly, I thank you for allowing me to become a member of the JATYK2 forum. ~The Gringo~

Happy to have you here.

**The Gringo** Wed Nov 09, 2011 12:14 am

I'm so excited to be here! bounce

This is great! I have been exalted three times already~! cheers

I have much to learn.

**bb1** Wed Nov 09, 2011 12:33 am

Ah, the Exalts....that's sort-of my fault. As anyone will tell you, I am notoriously bad at anything teccy....I was trying to sort something out as 'rewards' and somehow managed to set the exalts so people get one for almost every post... embarass

MsMarbles, who IS teccy, tried to fix it, but we don't actually know what I did. I have promised not to touch anything again. rofl

What DOES work properly is the green stripe thingy; if you see someone has made a post you particularly like, if you click the + at the top right of the box the post is in, then it gets a nice green stripe to say you like what the person has said smile

**greenink211** Wed Nov 09, 2011 3:28 am

Now I get the green stripes that were just beginning to puzzle me. Nearly asked about them earlier. Still not worked out what the exalts are though. Not noticed them yet.

You get one of those as well every time someone clicks on the +. So if someone has already got a green stripe, it can be clicked on again. This means you can get more than one exalt for a single post. Sorry to be pedantic, but it took me some considerable time to work it out myself.

You can blame Bonny for those of us who have have thousands of exalts. That happened during one of her forays in The Admin Panel. Between you and me, she isn't very good at it. It's actually a miracle that anyone got registered at all. So for heaven's sake don't try to leave, all sorts of horrors could happen.

Welcome to the forum, Gringo.
Sorry I didn't says so last night. I was too busy sticking pins in an effigy I made of Brown biggrin

Love the voodoo doll! I'm all out of rusty pins, but I do happen to have some rusty nails from tearing down an old shed and I bet somebody has a hammer I could borrow. Comeonthen

Did I say that?

We are very generous here, Gringo. We share all of our Tools. Tony will lend you his AK47 if you ask nicely, while LL is very free with his Exocets, and I've got a blood great Lump Hammer you can borrow.
