Goes to Murraymint and Waterboatman.
Cant stand the bloody thread myself but do admire, the fortitude and enthusiasm that the above 2 ABers put into the GMEB thread.
It is easy to start something up, but quite something else to maintain the enthusiasm and popularity day after day, month after month through quite often troubling and times of criticism.
I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole but that doesn't detract from my admiration of the effort put in by the instigators and their supporters.
AB wouldn't be AB without GMEB and deserves in my opinion,special mention on this festive occasion.
Unless I'm dreaming I'm sure I saw a program on TV some time back were some someone or other were talking of supplying one of those Alexa tec thing to old or young lonely people. Sad really when you may have to resort to a robot to talk too, so may be the early morning thread has got some, if not a lot of merit. Have a good as day as you can all. That's as nice as I'm going to get today. :0)
A pretty pointless thread I must say - one person whose glass is always half full (or even overflowing!) and another whose glass is half empty (or even empty). Another who seems to have the need to go shopping every day. Dozens of posts, many of which are "hello" or "goodbye" . Yes, I know I don't have to read it but I find it an intriguing insight into behaviour.
