Welcome Pumicestone and Irene

I can't give too much away heh sags but please don't light the touch paper!!

Hey Pummie is alright ... he's a bit of a character just like the rest of us.

Get out from behind that sofa ... you'll wreck your knees.

Count me out - I'm boring normal

You're too modest AlanHo 

I'm too modest to be modest......

You sound just like me Alan .. clearly we both suffer from low self esteem

low self esteem dressed like that - forget it!

Well I've filled in my Profile (no 'Enter' or 'Submit' button that I could find - so I hope it worked).

Despite fiddling around in forums for some years, I am an utter computer-techno-dinosaur.
Actually, I'm allergic to the 21st Century.
No mobile phone, no credit cards and the computer is solely for this sort of stuff and the occasional Email.

No idea how to post a pic (avatar ?).
Many well-meaning folk have tried to explain such things - without any joy.

Now, I'll see if I can find any 'meaty' threads here.
Each to his or her own of course ....
but I'm not much into the navel-gazing, light-weight stuff.

Aha! I see we have another Ocker Joker.  G'day Pumice. Owyer goin mate orlright eh?
You anywhere near Rockhampton, Maryborough Biloela?

Nice to hear from you at last. I see you come from Oz.  My sister has lived there for about forty years, you have probably met her the populations is not very big is it?

Oz is a bit big - a meeting is unlikely. When I used to fly there it takes more than 4 hours to fly from Perth to Sydney and you are looking down at a very barren scene most of the way.

I was born in Maryborough, Ciderman - but left when I was 10yo.
It is about 3 hours drive north of me now - 'just down the road' in Aussie terms.

Only about 24 million, (mate).  Spread over an area more than 30 times the size of the UK !  ::
So it's fairly unlikely that we crossed paths.
Nevertheless, strange things happen - any idea in what part of Aus she was lucky enough to reside ?

Pumicestone...  Good to meet you at last! 

We share this welcome thread.  :D

I'll look forward to seeing you around once you've settled in. 

No doubt, Irene.
Just how fortunate can this lot be - getting the two of us at pretty-much the same time ?!

I wonder if there is any 'Edit' facility here. I often wish I could immediately change stuff.

She lives in Dingly Village near Melbourne, you must have bumped onto her.
