Hello Everyone,

After a long time observing and enjoying this forum from a discrete distance I have finally decided to join your happy band.

Briefly, something about myself. Sploshing has been an interest of mine for many years. I am now fast approaching "the grumpy old git" stage of my life (which I may add I am working at with unrelenting enthusiasm) but the interest remains undiminished. I have no real idea of why I enjoy it so much but that is of little concern, all I need to know is that it is fun.

Jim

I beg your pardon Mr Shipton! To whom were you refering as an 'old git'? :shock: :P :lol:

Perhaps Bill was suggesting that our little population might include those with amnesia or Alzheimer's, for whom the correct spelling of 'referring' is too much of a struggle.

Mike, a grumpy middle-aged git, growing grumpier and older disgracefully.

I don't know about Alzheimers - but I've got 'Old-timers' - is that the same?

(They give us Old-Timers here in our maximum twilight security home, Viagra - it stops us rolling out of bed at night)

Ouch! You got me there, Mike. It's a fair cop, I posted in a hurry and omitted my usual checks. :oops: :oops: :oops: :cry:

Well, I'm definitely a (youngish) grumpy git, and proud of it. :D

And my significant-other has just suggested that it's a good thing that there's no laws against eccentricity, otherwise I'd have been locked up years ago. :shock:
