Who Are All Those People

[Tilly2]

on the Listener 4310 thread?

I don't know any of them. Are they a discrete little band?

[boxtops]

I think so - there are some particular erudite crosswords who seem to have their own band of followers. I never understand the questions, let alone the answers - but as I don't take the Listener, I don't know how hard their puzzles are.

[aelmpvw]

all friends of victor meldrew apparently ...

[Baldric]

They appear not to understand that 'Crosswords' is not 'Chatterbank'
all a bit anal imho!

[Tilly2]

Thanks, boxy. They do, indeed, seem very erudite. Scary!

Evening all,

I've been missing for quite a while due to ill health & I don't recognise half of the people on here now....

They'll get used to it eventually,

p.s - nice to be back........

Bob

[boxtops]

welcome back, bob!

[bobthefisherman]

Thanks Boxy..... :-)

[dunnitall]

Welcome back bob seen some of your posts so hope you join in more. Pity about your 'n' missing off the end of your name lol seems lonely on the second line....shame (chuckle)

[Mamyalynne]

Hi Bob,sorry you've been ill, welcome back.

Aren't there some lovely names on the Listener thread though.

[tamborine]

Pls miss, discreet ;)

[Mamyalynne]

Tambo, it depends how Tilly meant it...


discrete adj. Separate, detached from others, individually distinct. Opposed to continuous.

[bobthefisherman]

dunnitall - I've always wondered why the 'n' won't fit - but, I suppose we can't have everything.....

Mamya - there are some great names on there, I hope they will soon get used to the site & we will get to know them better (especially through your legendary goodnight songs)

Thank you both for your welcome back wishes,

Bob

[Mamyalynne]

Legendary Bob, oh my!! repetitive some say.

[bobthefisherman]

Wait until I start putting The Smurfs on again.....

[excelsior-1]

it is agreeable to see you back, bob

[Mamyalynne]

Smurfs are allowed as long as I don't have to listen.

[dunnitall]

Erm bob, I may have to withdraw my welcome back lol.

[Mamyalynne]

Titter

[bobthefisherman]

excelsior - thank you very much, - it's great to receive such a warm welcome back from everyone,

Mamya - I'm sure I'll find something else from my favourite era. (possibly The Wombles)

[Mamyalynne]

Hmmmm I see a theme.
