Should have exchanged contracts last week, Dave......some hiccup with one of the buyers further up the chain and problems with her deposit money. :cry: So we're hoping for a closure early next week now. House is out in North Kent, village location, short walk to the sea, even shorter walk to the local boozer !!!! :}

I take it north kent is the posh bit

LOL Tell me about it~~~

Last year was quiet in the rideout dept for one main reason...
As much as most of us ride in all weathers, there is no fun in going for a fun ride in the pissing rain.

last year it rained,,, then it rained, and later on it rained.
Then just after that it rained, and then it just rained and rained..

In other words chaps, it was the weather that reduced the rideouts,, nowt sinister ( as in strange, not as in left handed ! ).

BTW, what makes folk think the membership figures are anything at all to do with the forum ?

They ( the forum and the BIRD membership ) are, and always have been, kept seperately.
We have quite a few people who are members who do not have forum membership, and there are some who do not own a computer ! One chap and his family who have been to every bash bar the first who always books by post as he does not have any electronic coms whatsoever ! And yes, I write him letters too on real paper.

People take it for granted that BIRS is all about the forum, and all about e-mails etc.
On average I get 3 or 4 queries from members every week.. most of whom are not forum members and have never visited the forum..
There are letters and all sorts of stuff flying about from here, and I know for a fact that FB is often under as much pressure as I from peeps...

So please guys, do not think for one minute the forum is the be all and end all..

Yes, we, the forum members, are the elite of BIRD ( yer right LOL !!! And look, another winged pig ! ) but there are many MANY members who are not on here at all.

I've been doing the new members updating bit!!

So far this week 14 new members

Mind you - suppose people have to have SOMETHING to moan about!

and apparently he got his leg over last weekend so the effect hasn't worn off yet!

 

[Wolfie]

michael in song gets shipped to aus and doesn't get to say goodbye to mary, no goodbye, no kiss, nothing.


Bert i didn't :bang: :bang: was too pissed in scotland for that sort of thing.


where are the peeps who have dissappeared??? not just on here but in life itself, when was the last time anybody spoke to their best man??? etc etc etc.

 

[derek kelly]

when was the last time anybody spoke to their best man???

Yesterday.... he's my eldest brother.

 

[Rolfy Dave]

Sorry Wolfie....

it wasnt my intention to cause any hassle on your thread mate...

I just observed that it was quiet last year....weather or not... Nowt sinister..

People seem to go off on one & get all defensive for some unknown reason...Beats me why ??

I miss folks who used to be on here, and I miss folks outta my life who are elsewhere in the world.

But in reply to Jaws who said this forum has nothing to do with BIRD... I always thought this was BIRDs forum (although hosted by Wiz) If its not, then why is the link to the "members forum" on the BIRD main site. Again, just a simple question... Nothing sinister.

Also, my obsevation about the number of members & "activemembers" on the forum was just that... An observation... If you look at all the people registered as members, then look at the ones who regularly post, I think my analogy was right....You really could count on 3 or 4 hands the amount of folks who do regularly/actively post on this forum...

All I wanted to do was echo Wolfies thoughts (which had also occured to me) about all the folks who used to regularly post, but now very rarely post, and have to all intents vanished... Didnt know he was going to get deep & meaningful though......

But I also talked with my "best man" last week... He only lives just down the road from us... Still a good friend.

Sorry if I caused any agro/hassle/offense.

Have a good weekend guys n gals,

Cheers,

Rolfy

[derek kelly]

Rolfy mate, :beer: :beer: you'll do for me.

 

[trophychap]

I haven't spoken to our best man since Tuesday; I haven't seen him since Monday. I love him dearly and furthermore - you may as well know - I am going on holiday with him in August!

Chill out dude, I don't think anyone has taken offence :dunno: . Folk move on to different things..............................nothing more, nothing less. Llife changes...............interests change, people come & go. Personally, I spend more time over on Visordown.com these days, for no other reason other than my interests are now more in-line with the forums on that site; nothing more than that, although with some of the old guard from here now showing up over there I might have to move on again :}

FWIW, I agree with you, there are no more than 20 regular posters now and some of those are newbies. Some of the newbies will no doubt become regular contributors and will hang around, whilst some of the usual suspects will move-on; C'est la vie I guess :dunno: :beer:
