...Move down the bus please, standing room only...
Edit: remembering that phrase has made me feel really old :eek:

My first job was as a clipper*, so I was the guy telling you to move on, how old does that make me feel?

Edit: Don't answer that as it sounds pervy!

Welcome to all the BB migrants and thanks to BushcraftUK for giving us all a place to shelter.

Hey guys, Ratel10mm here. Sorry, I could not get my password reset as the email no longer exists.

Could someone please email me the address for Bardster's farm please? Alternatively, Fluffy or Longstrider's mobile no?
(Gary, I know you've posted in this thread, but as a 'new member' I can't seem to see that end of the thread!)
I'm supposed to be going down tomorrow but hadn't made a note of the details.

Cheers
Matt

Remember, you're only as old as the person you feel.

In my case that makes me two years older... I'm SWMBO's toy-boy, lol.

Makes her better when I tell her that phrase on her birthday though.

...and no, I don't have a free bus pass (the cheek!). I don't actually remember the last time I used a bus*, but I do remember my fare as a kid being something like 2p.



*quite probably that's simply because I was drunk.

And another BB diaspora member here! Thought I would use a different nickname from BB so that can keep you amused for a few minutesbtrying to guess. Had been lurking here occasionally, seems quite a nice forum too.

Know how you feel and I remember a bag of crisps was 8p (original monster munch or the crisps with the bag of salt init - classic) and the cinema was 50p for kids and £1 for adults (I think I was 15 around then) and I'm only 42 now - what happened???

Good to see the BB's seeking refuge here (me also), don't post on BB every day but usually have a look at least, please bring it back.

I check out BushcraftUk now and again so great to be back with a registration also great having a look around

It's down & no one can get in currently.
Most of the reprobates are lurking here:cool:

I'm genuinely concerned about Martyn. Not by business granted.
He always had time for me a decade ago.

2p, blimey, now I do feel old, my first bus fare, at least that I remember, was 6d, the long lamented 'tanner'! I also remember trolley buses rattling down the Edgeware Road!

Oh, god...


...NURSE!

Another 'here you all are'! Have to say I am missing BB. Probably saving myself a lot of money. Fortunately I have email comms with the guy that I am mid transaction with!
Anyway hi gang! I tend to hang out on both forums but do hope the other one gets sorted soon.
If anyone hears any news please share.

It is good to remember the selflessness of Tony and all the BCUK gang. The 34 pages on here (and a page on BCUK is longer than one on BB) is testament to the friendly support that has been given over the years when BB has not been available.

A hearty thank you and it will be nice if everyone sticks around once BB is back to health.
