timo   10 #1 Posted January 15, 2007 Hello and a Happy New Year to all forum folk. I have been absent for a while due to a combination of work pressures and bereavement. However, I hope to be posting again very shortly. This forum remains the very best in Britain, and I look forward to engaging in japes and persiflage with Shoeshine, musing earnestly upon the eternal verities with dear Lord Chaverly, and flirting unashamedly with lissom, fragrant Starsparkle.  All the very best to you all.  Timo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ousetunes   10 #2 Posted January 15, 2007 Happy New Year to you Timo; this forum has indeed missed you. Sorry to hear of your bereavement.  I'm just going to look up 'persiflage', as this is definitely a word I've never heard of before.  However, I look very much forward to your perspicacious posts.  NB: Oooh look: Persiflage - light mockery or banter. How lovely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Anyway, a belated Happy New Year. Its wonderful to hear that you are soon to be posting again. The forum has definitely been a much poorer, duller and less interesting place without its best poster - I have certainly missed your seemingly effortless displays of wit and erudition on a wide range of topics. A warm welcome back.  LC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
shoeshine   10 #4 Posted January 15, 2007 Happy New Year to you timo!  We thought you would get round to putting a shilling in the electric meter some time or other.  A collection was arranged to help you out but unfortunately 2 chicken bones. a recent copy of a Lib-Dem leaflet and a piece of stripped wallpaper (from someone's hovel) failed to raise the 20p you needed to get back online, and were instead donated to the Ministry of Defence's "Go get 'em Lads" Funds.  Thanks to those generous donations, one of our Apache helicopters is up and flying over Helmand Province again.
