Fly, please include the domain name extension, as in ops-normal.ORG. Wouldn't want anyone to not find us if you've gone to the trouble. Thanks.

Warm welcome to G-CPTN, there won't be anyone left over there shortly, we will need a bigger forum.

I well remember G-CPTN from my days on TOP before I was banned permanently. Good to see another familiar "face". Welcome Sir.

Alison/Admin
PS. Suspect most of our new faces have been beaten into submission on TOP and are afeared of posting. WE DON'T DO BANNINGS HERE. So jump in.

Many thanks for the welcome - I am very slowly finding my way around the corridors here and seeing what the knobs do (that's the inanimate ones - not the humans) . . .

Welcome G-CPTN - as I've been a long time reader and infrequent poster on TOP it's good to have you on board this fine ship.

Yes, welcome G-CPTN from another who remembers you from TOP. Still associated with the glorious DH establishment, I hope? We may well have met, without "revealing" ourselves, on one or two visits I made there.

You have me confused with another - my visits to the DH establishment are merely as a punter, not as a volunteer.

I certainly recall that your TOP posts were often well worth reading, even if I have muddled you up with another character at London Colney! :)

Hi G-CPTN. :-h Glad you finally came aboard. You were always my go to guy if I needed to know anything on TRABB. You will recognize a lot of playmates on here, former and present. :-bd

We need Bluey to come over here, just for the halibut. (see what I did there?} I have tried in the past, but was unsuccessful in persuading her to join us.

Welcome G-CPTN. Another familiar name from TOP. LG I got a PM from Bluey through TOP. I don't know if it is because I am a newbie over there yet again but my mail box is blocked. Perhaps she is considering getting over the wall. Maybe someone still in favour there could give her a nudge

Welcome Mr G-C. I trust the river is behaving itself.

I think the person at the DH establishment goes by the handle of 'Blacksheep'.

Yes, you're right 4mastacker, 'Blacksheep' it was! Don't think I'm going gaga after all ... Thanks.

Blacksheep also came to join us here early on, but dropped out after 119 posts.

Mention of Bluey and her fish puns has made my mind up over tonight's meal - Prawn Linguini it will be!

The several times I have suggested that the Diamond lady join us here, I was rather archly told to mind my own business (my own interpretation, not her words).

She knows of this place but her loyalty is to Tony D. Unless and until he tells her to join us here, I doubt she will.

With Tony D being AWOL or MIA, she might have a very long wait.
