500 - Not out !! | Swinging Heaven

500 TODAY
Yeah, this latest entry makes me 500 posts old - still a fledgling compared to some of you old hands at this but still quite a surprise to somebody who nearly left before he'd hit his 50 ! I'd been trying work out what to do with this after I'd hit 499 so here's a random mess of things.....
The Forum.
"First I'd like to thank the forum without which none of this would be possible". Hmm, kind of obvious, that one ! In all fairness I think some of us do forget that in order for us to be having these celebrations, arguments and discussions there has to be the forum for them in the first place ! So, to Mark and Helen, I raise my virtual glass !! You've indirectly given me far more than I (or maybe you) expected - see later ! It's easy to dwell on the negative as it's more obvious to see - just know that we do appreciate things....
The People
I've met some of you, typed to some of you and read others. For those who've inhabited here for a while and not "munched" I'd say to think of that as a natural next step - it really is that much fun. I'm not going to name names but some of you already know how much I care about having you as friends and long may this continue in whatever form ! I look forward to meeting some of you again and others for the first time - munch NW2 coming up !
The current mood
I won't dwell on this too much but simply want to say that I'm sad about those leaving but, as has been mentioned, it may be that the forum wasn't for them. If any of you leavers happens to sneak a peek at this then good luck for the future and may life find you well ! Say hi if you wish too - always nice to catch up !
My bonus prize
So, there I am, minding my own business on the forum, truly revelling in my singleness and deciding that maybe a change of angle in life was needed and what happens ? I find myself ambushed by a wild and scary indian squaw that forces me back to her reservation. So here I am, tied to her totem pole and wondering when I'm liable to get scalped. Well, not quite like that, but I'm sure you know what I mean lol

To Misschief I say the biggest thank you of all - I'd say more about what I think of her but I'd just make myself blush and have to run off the stage much to the humour of those viewers still watching. redface

The future ?
I'm not looking to leave the forum anytime soon so it seems you guys and gals are stuck with me for a time yet ! There will be times when I post a little and times when I post a lot - just the wax and wane of life in here as elsewhere. Feel free to PM me about anything at any time - I'm another of those who enjoys seeing that little blue notice appear !
There, I'm done now. 8)
I'll leave you with the immortal words of a wise scholar - Party on, dude !

500 eh ? All in one go ? Ah, my train tickets are already on the mantelpiece !

Do you know, I've looked at other peoples early posts but not gone back to read mine ! I prefer my rose-tinted recollections of them !

Wow Sarge, thank you for letting me know, would've wasted my 500th on something trivial trying to correct my hmm hmm hiccup :shock:
I can't really add to what Carpy has just said, so will just doctor it a bit to suit me 8)

I find myself ambushed by a wild and scary plastic duck that forces me back to his bathtub. So here I am, sat amongst the bubbles, checking out his version of a totem pole :twisted:
