Oh dear - I missed that announcement, I haven't been on for a while, how very sad - but I knew it was only a matter of time. I think we have all seen this coming. I have left an open-ish invitation on there for refugees. I have asked that they use their Beeb name so we know who they are and any undesirables will be recognised.

I had the same name! Didn't post much - you can tell by the quality of my typing! What was I doing back there?

;D I don't know - I was far slower and neater on there as I always had loads of time because of the no posting before 30 seconds is up rule.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that rule. Didn't get caught out by it much which is a surprise as I could talk for Britain!

This board is trickier to navigate at first, but once you get used to the way it works you will be fine.

Hi, Kallieg! Have a good browse in the Shed, and read Flumpet's notes for beginners [sorry don't know how to show you where to find them ] Someone will lead you to them. You're a few weeks younger than my son! But I'm not the oldest here. ;D Where does your name come from? It's unusual.

Thanks for the lovely welcome. I look at my year of birth now and I can't believe it's mine! When I registered with Next I chose 1982 as my year of birth - it had a better ring about it! We have a teacher at one of my schools who was born in 1989 - I'd been teaching 3 years when she was born!! Kallie is what I always wanted to be called as I have grown up with a name no one has ever spelled right! G is just the start of my surname. I kept my Beeb name so I didn't look like a complete stranger.

Hi Kallieg! glad you came "over here". I can't see the penguin either! When this board began - as an alternative to the Beeb - I found it a bit difficult to find my way around but there's always somebody about who'll point you in the right direction if you have a gardening question and get a bit lost en route.
Because some people have been here for ages, and obviously know each other quite well, I suppose it can look a bit daunting - but (although Ive not met any of the members in person) I can assure you they're all lovely!
You might perhaps be a bit puzzled about my nickname - so perhaps I should explain that it's one of my dogs' names - and I'm a granny, not a grandpa!

Hi again - you can use HCF if you like - or Ma - 'cos that's what I often use to sign my messages.

I can't see the penguin I love penguins! That's a pity . It's basically a cartoon penguin turning head over flippers, with a bit of a wobble ;D

Thank you HCF/Ma. I can picture the penguin now Joany! Thanks koalagirl - I'm a Sussex girl too and like being Kallie - should have missed off the 'G' but wanted to use my proper Beeb name!

Once you're registered here with your beeb name you can change it to anything you like, you have a username and a display name.
If you hover the cursor over my name and look at the bottom left of the screen, you'll see my username. It's so long since I used it here or on the beeb everyone's forgotten it!

I think it's easier to keep Beeb names as everyone will be more familiar with them and eachother and still know who they are talking to. ;D

My word - I expected a trickle, not an avalanche! ;D We shall have to all budge up in the potting shed and get more mugs in.
I would advise you to keep your Beeb names for a couple of weeks, as last time we had an influx of Beeb refugess some of them didn't stay because they didn't recognise each other and felt lost.

I composed a lovely post to put on the beeb last night, posted it and the board had shut while I was writing it. It was about all the lovely people who are on this board. Never mind we all know who we are.. ;D ;D
