Not that I've been snooping, Plum, but your profile says that the topic which contains the majority of your posts is "Mallet's mallet" - mostly a 'one word per post' thread, If I'm not mistaken!

But that is because that one is nice and quick to reply in! ;)

I also noticed (looking at my profile) that I have posted over 9% of the enitre forum - I need to get out more!

I think the majority of a lot of posts are in that thread!

(except DBTS, who always manages to contribute a vast number of erudite and interesting comments, and JR who keeps the joke thread running almost single-handedly! Apologies to those who don`t post on Mallet who`ve been omitted!)
The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.

She is most welcome to come and sing to me any time she likes - I cannot imagine anything more desirable than Blondie singing to me under the stars while at anchor among the tall trees on the upper reaches of the Fal where only a heron's cry can disturb the idyll of the moment.

Yes! - thank goodness the "Mark all topics as read" button saves me from that one!

If I run true to form, I will run out of steam then come back after a break. Still I might break the habit of a lifetime and stick with it

I have spurts of intense use for awhile and then get bored and stop for awhile but then come back

It's worth checking out Dave by the sea's posts on the limerick thread - some are quite brilliant
