  1. I don't use the forum anymore, and haven't done for some time, but I felt compelled to comment on this thread after I heard of John's passing. John was a gentleman. I could wax lyrical all day about some of his qualities, but they'd probably not come as any surprise to those of you have met or had dealings with him. Suffice to say that the world will be a slightly sadder place without him. I once read somewhere that someone is only truly gone when they are forgotten - and to live on in the hearts and minds of those left behind is to live forever. Well I'll never forget you, John! Or the sound, life-changing advice you gave to me, for which I shall always be grateful. Stagey X
  2. TBH Edna, I rarely spend any time here these days. If you want to organise something, be my guest. x
  3. Hi Oldskater, They were two very similar threads with virtually identical thread titles and have just been merged to prevent a build up of threads all asking the same question. As a former Moderator on the main forum I'm all too aware of how these things can end up if they're not kept tidy. Anyway, let's not deviate off topic - otherwise I'll have to tell myself off.
  4. GL Note: Similar threads merged. Please do a search before starting new threads. Thanks
  5. Tabitha, I really enjoyed looking through that group! Isn't it wonderful how people love their vans - and how much you can actually do with them? Some stunning Airstream pics.
  6. To get back onto topic - there's a link to a mobile knife sharpening company here. I haven't used them personally, but if anyone has then could you please let us know how you fared?
  7. I can confirm that ET 1 is the registration plate for the Mayoral car.
  8. I don't know about him wanting a break, you need to get rid - completely! Based on what you've said, this guy is a complete joke! And take note, not ONE person seems to disagree. Get rid, give yourself time to heal and then seek to find someone who appreciates you and everything that you are. A good relationship should compliment your life, not complicate it.
  9. The Role of Mayor is apolitical, but that doesn't mean that people always stick to the rules. While in council chambers last week for the inauguration of our Mayor there was a verbal attack on the outgoing Labour Mayor by a conservative Councillor. Fortunately the incoming Labour Mayor dealt with it beautifully and it was put to bed pretty quickly. My thoughts are that the validity of points raised notwithstanding, as a Councillor, there is a correct time and place to air your political issues. It is not during the inauguration process of the incoming Mayor. All the Conservative Councillor did in this instance was to make himself look churlish and disrespectful - but then again criticism often reveals far more about the critic than it does about the criticized. During the Mayor's Church service and procession through the centre, there were Councillors present from all parties - and also same again at the formal banquet in the evening. The Conservative contingent applauded the incoming Labour Mayor at the appropriate time - as well they should. Anything else is, again, just churlish and disrespectful. Regardless of what our political beliefs are - there are occasions when it's appropriate to just simply put them down for a while.
  10. Like someone else said, the first three lines of your post say it all. The guy had his chance, and he blew it. To leave you all dressed up and nowhere to go is unforgivable, in my opinion. Let's not forget the complete lack of regard for how doing this would also make you feel. If people don't show you even the most basic of respect levels at an early stage, then I'd be taking that as an indicator of things to come and I'd be walking in the opposite direction. I had a similar situation happen to me once. I made it clear in a polite but assertive way that they'd blown their chances and wouldn't be getting any more. And then I stood by it. No point making an assertion like this if you're not going to stand by it. Write 'deleted' in your mobile at the side of their name. Then, when they ring, you get a timely little reminder of why you shouldn't answer. Metaphoria, he doesn't deserve you. Move on and date someone who does.
  11. With respect, Sheffgrow, you have no idea of what happens backstage in groups, or the work that goes into ensuring the smooth running of them, so it really would be inappropriate and ill advised to start chucking stones. Hanksy, in relation to previous camp meets, there have been several organised in the past, they just weren't organised under the umbrella of the camping group. IIRC they were started in 'Evenings out' because at that time there wasn't a dedicated C&C section. Stagey Group leader
  12. Completely give her her own space. She'll come round when she's ready. My last cat hid behind the sofa for several weeks. Once she'd acclimatized she took over the entire house with her confident personality. My current fluffy is still coming out of her shell, and she's been here for about five months now. Be patient - it'll all come good.
  13. There are several on Facebook, Lindsey. A couple of which are in Sheffield. Have you tried them?
