It's a shock coming in to find this all changed!
First impressions are it's awful but I'm sure I'll get used to it...

 

[Hallie_Jazz]

Good morning everyone.

 

[where_is_RUTH]

I think 3:41 counts as morning...
And I trust it really was a good one x

Boom chick a Wa Wa

But of all the gin joints, in...

Hi dragon. Hey Ruthie. Hello Hallie.

@where_is_RUTH is there good snowboarding in the UK, or do you have to trek over to France or Switzerland?

 

[Polranny]

In ruthie's absence... it's pretty good in the Cairngorms in Scotland but that can be a trek too

Hi dragon. Hey Ruthie. Hello Hallie.

Ruthie, is there good snowboarding in the UK, or do you have to trek over to France or Switzerland?

Are you looking for snow in UK in April?
There might be some left in Aspen...

No. I just noticed Ruth's status/title/under his username thing and wondered.

No. I just noticed Ruth's status/title/under his username thing and wondered.

Thank you for the idea! I guess this is what now used in place of signatures on Lit!

For a long time we've not been able to edit some of these features.
As I now can,,, I did.

Places I've played on the snow.
Canada Italy but usually french Alps.
Regret a opportunity in Wanaka (as I'm fairly certain I'll never return)

Pol is of course absolutely right, the are some glorious Scottish lines/piste/cross country... But when there's great snow there's usually no access... When there's access the snow is ice.

Covid has clipped wings for the moment.

Places I need to visit (for snow). Norway and Japan.
Best place... Canada. You rock.

And if the USA chills out, maybe one day I'll return.

Well lookie here…. The old gang. I have absolutely no idea what’s going on around here nowadays but I love that there are some names I still know. And thank you very much for my mention in the OP Angelica. I hope you remember me.

 

[AngelicaS1780]

SL!!!!!! Oh my word!!!
It's been ages, lovely. What brings you back here?
You hope that I remember you???
How could any of the Hello from London'ers forget you?

I don’t know why I’m back if I’m honest…. I was good for soooo long but virtue is so… so…. overrated. I didn’t expect the old gang to be here so lovely to see you all.

We’re here in fits and starts.

As for me, every time that virtue comes round, vice is right there waiting with a cricket bat or badminton racquet or exceedingly long word that is mainly consonants, especially g, y, ff, and ll. If one of those double L’s hits you straight on, that’s gonna leave a mark. Virtue doesn’t stand a chance.

You mean words like this Angelica,
llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
I think I spelt it correctly.

I believe the Kiwi's have the longest place name now.
Bloody loved living in NZ (sorry Oz)
And old or new I've never minded... As long as you've seen Blues Brothers
"We're on a mission from God"
"I'm getting the band back together"

 

[where_is_RUTH]

Ginny welcome along.
Very nice tight weave fishnets there.

I do love fishnets

I'll second that! I have also taken a bit of a Lit break so am finding my way around again...

 

[MidThirtiesGuy]

Hi all. Hope you don't mind the intrusion. I'm also back from a bit of a break, although I'd not seen this thread previously - but when I saw the title I clicked, and thought I'd join in.

Hey stranger! Good to see you round here again.

No intrusion at all. I’m afraid that we might disappoint, as the thread isn’t as active anymore.

Pours himself a pint

Puts the dog bowl on the floor (full) plus a handful of dog biscuits

Buts some Brian Adams on the jukebox (coz I'm feeling a bit of an arse)

Regrets not sitting in the beer garden

(And your lucky it's not Ryan Adams)

 

[Polranny]

<smells Winalot and Bonios and returns… wags tail…curls up in the corner>

Is the Winalot and Bonio grain free?
I Keep squares of mature cheddar in my pocket for such emergencies

 

[where_is_RUTH]

Personally I can eat anything (and I know I'm lucky that way) but I know too many people with Crohn's so I'm happy to pop to the shop for *anything* edible...

You want caviar though, I'm not paying (there's a cap)

It's been far to dry this spring. Nice, but ecologically it's no good.
