Ok make that 8 months, (around) 240 days, add my other names on and I probably have around 800 posting = 3 per day. Not that many I supose, but I normally spend an hour everynight and a couple of hours during the day reading it. Thats nearly One whole day each week on the BBs. Am I sad or what?

My boss told me I can surf the net as long as the work gets done and his boss isn't around. :-)

Rik, I actually find that I don`t have as much time to post as I used to. However, the reason I`m so high in the list, is that I am not restricted by having to go out to work every day. There`s no-one looking over my shoulder, and I only have my conscience to limit my postings! (This usually takes the form of a huge pile of ironing, or a garden full of weeds!)

However, don`t think that I am a lady of leisure! I am certainly not a `coffee morning` type, or one of those ladies who gets dolled up to the nines and `does lunch` with other similar lady friends. You`re much more likely to find me with a garden spade in my hand, than a YSL handbag!(:o)

YSL Galaxy, is that some sort of youth thing like YTS?

I would of thought you were more a Max Mara or a Prada type myself!

Gus - what`s YTS? Yuppie Training Scheme? (;o)

My mind says Prada - my body cries out Evans!! (:o)

To be honest when I had the figure to do justice to such labels I either couldn`t afford them, or later got so much more satisfaction in sticking to my beloved and very ancient ripped jeans and clingy white teeshirts. I just loved the look of horror on the Laura Ashley clad Mums at Yelli`s school. (I did all my rebelling late in life!)

I sadly have given up the jeans now too - though can`t bring myself to throw them out. And you can bet your bottom dollar that if I ever get thin enough to get into them again - I will wear them with pride! (:o)

Oh, BTW Rik, I also go in for `batch` postings. You know what I mean, do loads in one day, and a few extra to see you through the week! (;o)

-- Anonymous, November 26, 2000

I tend to do mass postings as well,going down each thread and saying my piece, which kind of spoils things as the threads have expired by the time you come back in two or three days.

The YTS was a youth training scheme. That is where the young footballers came from after the apprentice scheme stopped and before todays system.

Rik - I`m with you on that one! Quite often, my carefully thought out replies appear at the end of a long extinct thread. Who said `thank God for that!`? (;o)

Gus, I was joking about YTS. And I was telling porkies about `Evans`. Even I haven`t reached `outsize` proportions yet - mind I`m working on it!(;o)

Beg pardon maam,

and here is me thinking that red headed bloke had a new line in clothes!

I am a Louis Feraud man me, and Hugo Boss casual wear. Toss in the odd Armani bits and pieces and I am happy.
