MM Links March 2008 [Week 1]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!
This is a little earlier than usual, since I am about spend a pleasant evening at a local Italian Restaurant with colleagues to celebrate someone's 40th Birthday.

This posting will be my first for MM in over two months. My sincere thanks go to gen2 for holding the fort so admirably in my absence and permitting me to have some much-needed personal time. I tried last week at this time to post a letter of explanation on AB but met with problems at the "posting" stage. "So what's new?" I hear you ask!
In case you missed my eventual message, it can be reached using the quick-link given below:

However, I don't wish to dwell on the past, but look to the future!

Maybe a Black Sheep or, failing that, another Landlord or, just perhaps, a NORMAL Guinness. If I want cold and tasteless I'll have a lager, thanks very much!

[Strix]

Hmmm, BigMac, actually have been in an earthquake in Chile. This Brit, obviously was not killed, nor were any Chilenos.

My host, the owner of El Mercurio, refused to agree it was a proper earthquake

NOW bring on the pisco sours.......

Great to see you back crofter.
After a week with the fire, the earthquake and now the raging wind (or was that S on the real ale), I'm off to bury my head under the duvet.
Have a good night
Luv B

Crofter it is so good to have you back. I didn't know the reason for your absence as I don't get on the computer much these days but I send my sincere condolences to you and your wife on your loss. The old gentleman must have felt very loved and cherished in his final days. God bless you.

Blimey, it's very pianissimo in hear tonight.
Are you girls still on some silly Lent fast, or just strapped for cash?
Face up to it ladies, if it is a slimming regime that you have been following, forget it, you're never going to be a size 10 again. BUT if you can't accept the truth but still want to try to be a size 10 I will help you if you would send me all those chocolates you have bought but you should resist - Bendicks bittermints, in particular, would be wonderful but all other varities, even left--over out of date Christmas boozy ones would be welcome.........just post them on.....

Just popped in to say a quick good evening - I'm on my way to bed - I've had a busy week. See you all in the morning and please keep the noise down. I've another busy day tomorrow catching up with all the jobs I haven't had time for during the week. Night, night all.

[Christiana]

Just popped in to say hello, particularly to Crofter - welcome back. I've been to Gibraltar and back today with a friend visiting from England. (four hours each way, plus looking round, plus two hours to get out via their passport control) so totally done for and staggering off to bed. I might make the start in the morning but don't hold your breath.

Visitors have just gone but I am turning in too. Sorry I haven't been around for a chat. They really must learn not to visit on Friday nights!!!
Also forgot the important thing "WELCOME BACK CROFTER"
See you all in the morning. Kay
