Best Answers?
I do not know if this is the site to ask, but can I give everyone who answered a particular question the best anawer, or must it only be one: the reason I ask, is that, and especially for my last thread, the few questions I have asked and have been replied to deserve in the large, in my opinion, best answer.
Many thanks. Spoonboy.

Society: Hi. Bit of a long story. Sad in the beginning; but it has its highlight.
In July 2010 my partner died of a heart attack; a couple of months later one of my sisters and her husband invited me to stop with them awhile. I did so, and one Sunday my brother-in-law, along with his son, took me to a pub for Sunday lunch, where I had a delicious hotpot style stew with a gravy you'd sell your grandmother for. Anyway, I had finished the stew but was grieved to give over the dish without mopping up the gravy, so I asked the waitress for a spoon. On the next table four "big" people were ordering chips by the bucket load, and when they heard me ask for a spoon, thought it was funny, and when asked by their waitress what were they laughing at, the biggest (and greediest I might add) said, "Spoonboy there." The upshot of this being a nickname I like, but, grieving the bucket load people, I laughed along with them. So that is how Spoonboy was born.
Who knows! I could be a superhero...
...Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Spoonboy.

Thanks Society: I have found since joining AB it is much better than the American biassed site, which I became dissaffected by and deleted my account. By the site's account there seemed to be too many report monkeys, but it turned out that all violations given out by them, were trolled through themselves, when they gave me a violation on a resolved question 9 months old, and I received BA for. Although I have made a good contact from across the pond whom I chat with regularly, I prefer this one as everyone is nicer, more down to earth and approachable on here.
