I am a 'lockdown-joiner' to this forum, welcoming the opportunity join in with others who are similarly 'shut inside'.

I have been wondering whether people have found that the site has changed in any way over the last year?

Themes/quantity of posts/membership/patience/tolerance?

Just curious!

You just read my mind Jane. I haven’t been defeated by a long sit in yet.

LauraNorder Tue 02-Feb-21 22:45:11

What a great community we have albeit incomplete for now.
And yes last one out put the light off and open up again, we’ll all be there.

Absolutely love Joan Baez

We shall overcome some da-a-a-ay!
I have a bottle of Grouse ( well I may have had a couple ? ) and lots of crisps. We should be able to think of some Woody Guthrie, Pete Seager?
What about This land is your land ...

I’ll join you but I am a bit out of practice ....the last sit in I did was in 1968! And I absolutely am not singing. I could dig out an old Letraset for placard making ?

BlueBelle Tue 02-Feb-21 22:32:11

Anyone got a wee nip ?

Definitely Jane10 good idea. Whoever ends up last in front of this brazier tonight (no LauraNorder not brassiere) could open the next one up.

Well it's not likely to be me - I'm getting far too comfortable on this pile of cushions in the corner ? ??

Too true Jane!
The fire is making me sleepy - kick me if I snore.

And we shall start a new version of this thread when this one reaches 1000 which will be soon. We mean business moderators. We don't want to lose sight of our grievance in all the apparent jolly fun. ?

Kalu Tue 02-Feb-21 22:23:11

Perfect Marydoll. I still remember all the words too. No short term memory required.

Spinnaker Tue 02-Feb-21 22:22:08

Count me in !!

I was one of the ones emailed on that there thread and there's no way Maw should have received a ban. I hope she's able to at least view all the support here.

Marydoll Tue 02-Feb-21 22:22:02

I'm alright, I have my fur coat on. Not much else. ☺

Bathsheba Tue 02-Feb-21 22:19:30

Good choice Marydoll. Ready Laura? I’ll count you all in - 3 - 2 - 1..

?? we shall overco -o-ome, we shall overco-o-ome ?...

BlueBelle Tue 02-Feb-21 22:17:23

I wish someone would move their bloody placard I can’t feel the fire
Cheese straw anyone ?
Welcome Grandmajet are you comfortable ?

Kalu Tue 02-Feb-21 22:17:09

A place over here for you WhenIwasyourage. Remember to wear your fur knickers though. It’s a bit draughty in the nether regions sitting here. Slainte Maw, haste ye back.

Marydoll Tue 02-Feb-21 22:15:14

How about this for starters?

Who's up for a sing song then? Anyone got any requests? Laura get your guitar ready - and did I hear someone say they've got a drum?
Or hang on, we'll need to lubricate the old vocal chords first - here's a bottle of Baileys, pass it round while we're deciding what to sing first...

LauraNorder Tue 02-Feb-21 22:03:58

grandmajet with all the bra burning some of us will need more support than others ‘boom, see what I did there’ is what MawB would say.

dragonfly46 Tue 02-Feb-21 22:00:05

Absolutely - the more the merrier.

grandmajet Tue 02-Feb-21 21:56:41

I’m instinctively on your side, I’ll hang around and support you all if you don’t mind. Everyone I’ve ‘met’ seems kind and fun.

Wheniwasyourage Tue 02-Feb-21 21:56:25

Can I join in too? I'll wear my cosy pyjamas as I'm not prepared to keep warm by burning my bra, if that's ok.

Doodle Tue 02-Feb-21 21:51:27

Here’s a pillow Dragon get cosy. We’re not giving up so easily. The sad thing is that the banned one would love to be here with us joining in the fun. ? cooee
