    Hello all

    Yep like a bad smell I keep lurking about.

    It's been a while since I posted, nice to see so many names I recognise are still about, I'm going to try and be more active and just maybe I'll get around to rebuilding my old build threads.

    hope you're all surviving this crazy year.

    ha ha wasn't an accusation

    I recently made some big purchases at scan, saw I was getting Hexus free shipping and thought I'd stop by and say hello. Lot has changed...

    Re: Hello all

    no peterb for starters. Still miss him.

    Welcome back old faces. Stay a while. It's like regulars coming back to the pub after a long absensce. Remember those things? Pubs? Those were the days.

    Sammy, any plans for a christmas thread this year? With lockdown and tier3s there might be more demand this year vs previous lacklustre outings.

    Seriously; I haven't really thought.. or if I have, was leaning towards an assumption of the aforementioned lack of demand. But am up for anything - story, or add one line type, or something else altogether - if you think it would 'go'. Just don't want to end up finishing my own jokes, like some sort of vanity project. Heaven forbid. Any ideas? bit short on inspiration myself..
