Could Chatterbank be a little bit clicky?

[RJUKL]

Just wondering. Some new posters who dare to dip a toe into these waters may feel a bit shy as so many of you seem to "know" each other so well.

I sometimes post and if it gets no response, feel like slinking back to my little corner.

Last night I went to bed and while reading got zapped by drunken buzzing flies as usual.

While on the subject of reading, I will order a book from the library if someone can point me to an un- put-downable title and author. I am fed up with starting books that become a chore rather than an exciting adventure.

Hi RJUKL - I've posted questions that get no response and sometimes post an answer and then the posting stops to that link. Must have been something I said!

[RJUKL]

Thanks for your reply Lardhelmet. How long have you been posting on this site?

[lardhelmet]

Not long - a month at most I should think.

I'm not a newbie but I dip in lately and cannot be bothered as it's pretty feeble, and so i find other forms of torture. : )

I've been on here about 18 months and found it difficult at first as you feel like you are being ignored. I just found that after I'd made a few people laugh I seemed to get on okay. I know what you mean about being a thread killer though.........it feels embarrassing being stuck as the last poster.

Thanks for your welcome Cherry. Also to Jan, I am so sorry to read what you have posted. It looks as though you have several friends on here who will help keep your chin up.

I have been using this site for only a fortnight and sometimes get the feeling that I'm being a bit intrusive. However it's only natural that people who have been contributing over a long period should become familiar with each other so I don't worry too much. My greatest concern is saying something which may inadvertently cause offence, when the proverbial would hit the fan.

As to the flies, the answer is easy - buy some fly spray. You don't have to use it, just buy it. Last year I was plagued by a fly who defied the laws of nature and refused to die at its appointed time. It would visit me at all hours and was so cheeky that it used to sit on my breakfast plate and have a go at my boiled egg. I know it was the same fly because of its trademark scruffy trainers.

Anyway, one day I'd had enough. "Sod this for a game of soldiers", I thought, and went out and bought some fly spray. I came home and put it on the table, waiting in gleeful anticipation. Guess what! The little bugger never came back. Must've been a mind reader as well.

I have just finished reading all the Lee Child's books for the second time RJUKL....don't know if he's your cup of tea though. I also read Kathy Reichs, James Patterson, and Dean Koontz.

Have you read Gone Tomorrow Craft?

RJUNKL - I have been on here a year this month - found it hard to fit in at first - I still think there is a policy of some people can get away with saying certain things and some can't. It has been clicky in the past, but I think thats gradually fading.

[craft1948]

who wrote that dot? I read approximately 3 books a week so I forget what I've read.

Den makes me laugh..........
