It has been short. Can't say it has been sweet. This is the set up of the site not the people. 100 % Disarray . might try going via Facebook
Cheerio good people.
thanks

I am fairly new to the site, almost 24 hrs.
Its not the easiest site to follow and the forum equally confusing.
the reply button for instance its not clear (to me anyhow) whether its for the original post or for the person who has responded.
I decided to use the private chat button that way I know it should have got to the right person.
So if you have received a PM don't be shy ... click and reply.

I'm in Edinburgh if you want to chat.
I'm new here also. hope I clicked the right button
I live in Edinburgh so fairly close. if you fancy a chat let me know.
I do work and use the computer all day so sometimes when I get home I choose carefully what I log into just in case you reply and think I am ignoring you.
Slainte.

Most things are accessible from the home page, so don't be frightened to explore and click on things that's the best way to find out.
I noticed you said you are from the S/west so am I Dumfries and Galloway
It does take a little while to get used to the site but you can create a topic for discussion if you like.
did ,first time .
and you wouldn't want any conversation with the others. Haven't looked at your ""boring stuff "" yet, it
is probably science fiction . talking to you is no problem, and you will be quite safe from interruption
My "boring stuff" is also on my profile,, short and sweet ,,and totally opposite to yours,,.
however ,chat is what we are here for, .Don't quite know how you got onto my forum ???
pressed to find a lot of Scottish people on here .What have you got against the rest of us ?????
I'm curious to know how you have been received as an English person living in Scotland as I was born in Glasgow and lived for 18 years in Essex. I was always well accepted by neighbours and workmates and I loved the people and the climate . I have often thought of it as the best time of my life . I live in Australia now but if I ever return to Europe, I would go back to Essex.

I am an English woman who came to live in central Scotland, and I have never been so lonely!
lonely 66
I was born in Glasgow in 1948 but left when I was 17, I have traveled quite a lot , I lived in Essex for about 18 years and now live in Australia. I'm very interested in reading about the views of people my age living in the country that I once called home . Ian.
My dad was a gorgie and I love the accent but you have probably heard that before. I like writing on my second book or trying to still revising my first, computers not bad but could throw them out the window frequently. Birds I love have lots come to my garden and the cats are banned from touching sometimes works.
I love films but not into horror any more need romatic mushy stuff because I like happy endings but love scifi not keen on star wars the only good thing about them was the spark between Hans solo and chew bacca so now he is gone no more star wars. Big fan of star trek love the new ones wish they would do more. Like Queen, beatles and many more. Hope you will stop by for a chat.
