A Special Tribute

[Sqad]

Goes to Murraymint and Waterboatman.
Cant stand the bloody thread myself but do admire, the fortitude and enthusiasm that the above 2 ABers put into the GMEB thread.
It is easy to start something up, but quite something else to maintain the enthusiasm and popularity day after day, month after month through quite often troubling and times of criticism.
I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole but that doesn't detract from my admiration of the effort put in by the instigators and their supporters.
AB wouldn't be AB without GMEB and deserves in my opinion,special mention on this festive occasion.

Look at you, going all soft lately.
I do agree though, the GMEB is a great thread, especially for those who wake up alone.

[DTCwordfan]

you old softie, Sqad.

Enjoy a good Scotch or Cognac or whatever your tipple is....Have a good Christmas.

[brainiac]

I quite agree, but have often wondered why they are up so early! Me, I'm a night owl.

[tamborine]

Hear hear, to cheer us at 4am is special & sets off for a good day.

Merry Xmas to all abers & thanx for putting up with me - hugs bigly ;)

[lady-janine]

Brain they are really night owls who out of consideration for others keep quiet until it is almost morning. I think that's it.

[jennyjoan]

well said Sqad - from neither a night owl or a good morning person.

Happy Christmas to you and your poor long suffering wife Mrs Sqad. xx

[TonyV]

If I am up and about early enough I contribute to GMEB, had a lay in this morning.

[Mexican18]

I agree. I read it every morning but never get involved. You have to hand it to them for sticking with it!
Merry Christmas Squad.

[Mamyalynne]

The SS GMEB is special and important, best wishes to all x

[elliemay1]

A well deserved tribute, Sqad. Happy Christmas x

Unless I'm dreaming I'm sure I saw a program on TV some time back were some someone or other were talking of supplying one of those Alexa tec thing to old or young lonely people. Sad really when you may have to resort to a robot to talk too, so may be the early morning thread has got some, if not a lot of merit. Have a good as day as you can all. That's as nice as I'm going to get today. :0)

[diddlydo]

A pretty pointless thread I must say - one person whose glass is always half full (or even overflowing!) and another whose glass is half empty (or even empty). Another who seems to have the need to go shopping every day. Dozens of posts, many of which are "hello" or "goodbye" . Yes, I know I don't have to read it but I find it an intriguing insight into behaviour.

[Mamyalynne]

If I bump into GMEB then I know I've stayed up too long :-)

[Buenchico]

^^^ Snap, Mamya!

[diddlydo]

Or got up too early!

[Mamyalynne]

That rarely happens ;-)

[Buenchico]

^^^ In my case, it never happens!
