Just last week I found a "missing" relative from Birmingham, he now lives in Wales, and I invited him to look at/join in on the BF. Very funny that he had an email from Brum this week, that he sent on to me, this it part of it:-
"hi
mail on sunday 7/1/07
not such a happy new year, after all
January 1st started off fresh and bright and i felt quite cheerful as i took
an early-morning stroll to the newsagents.
i encountered several people and smiling,wished them a happy new year.
to my disappointment,only three bothered to respond-the rest either ignored
me or stared as if i were a lunatic.
but at least i saw three faces brighten fro a moment or so."
So if at first you don't succeed....
