Thank you for the pleasure of your company over the last ten years :-)

Wow - ten years!
I am glad you found the site - it would not be the same without one of the nicest, most generous folk here!

Well said John , Mary you are a star .

I joined Songs of the paddle first when we were getting into water sports with the kids and kept seeing references to BCUK so i popped in for a look and liked what i saw .
I've not been joining in much over the past couple of years due to ups and downs of life but there aren't many days that i don't pop in for a look .
I have met some amazing people though this site some of which i can happily call friends for life even if i only see them very rarely they are my brothers and sisters in green :You_Rock_

Craig. .....

Im not sure about 'big sister' but I am mortally afraid of being on the forum with a mucky face, I can just hear Mary spitting on a tissue

Always a pleasure to be around you Mary

Mary, you are a BCUK institution. It wouldn't be the same here without you.

Many things I'd do, but I wouldn't spit/wipe you ….I usually found the cloth from beside the sink for the kids Jamie once commented that he thought kitchen sink soap smelled of bleach because of that.

Congratulations M. You have been here since the bronze age

Hah! so I have
It's Ian's fault; see the things I've gotten involved with since I met him ? It's been amazing

I think BcUK thrives because of the people who frequent the boards. We all bring very different things to the conversations, but they're never boring and there's always someone(s) who knows something useful when I ask for help or information
It's a mellow kind of place to sit down for a read and a blether. I know I welcome folks to the virtual campfire, but it kind of really is, isn't it ?

You're good company folks Thank you.

congrats Toddy, you are indeed one of the most welcoming and helpful!

I have been here not that many years, I cant recall why I ended up here

Ive changed my life a lot and now have gone from all round useless to being a useless uni student...In part I have BCUK to blame for that...

 

[Harvestman]

I don't recall how I ended up in here, but I do recall that I quickly joined in and have stayed ever since. That is most unlike me. It is people like Mary who make the place so friendly and enjoyable, so my thanks to you Mary, and here's to many more.
