| | | Re: Sad. Hi Graham. Sorry I missed it but I am having major problems with my PC at the moment, as Beryl will testify as she has been trying to help via PM's.
Congrats on your 1,000th but did you notice when I reached my 1,000th. I think you were the only one to say anything and that was by PM.

| | Oh blimey - Sorry John,
I think there should be an announcement on the home page when someone becomes a CWE that way we won't be guilty of over-looking it, after all it's going to be happening more and more. Quote: |

John | John, sorry to hear of your computer problems, all sorted now?

It is continually freezing plus my DVD Rom will no longer play DVD's only CD's and I have just received the update to Birdguides BWPi and I can't load it up because it states there is no disk in the drive. Brilliant. Quote: |

| | | Re: Sad. Crikey, John as well. I'm missing all of these, you guys are just going way too fast for me.
I could have sworn that I'd beat you John, but now I'm seriously eating your dust as you show me a clean pair of heels and fly well past the 1000+ mark.
Thanks for all your help and your many great posts.
Stu
P.S. Now I'm on 974  - that's an extra two in just the last ten minutes...fast, but not fast enough, I must work harder  |

Ooops, I was too busy looking for your new uploads to miss this event.
Sorry, I will buy you a drink when we next meet!

Of course you congratulated me and I thank you for that.

| | | Re: Sad. Well I'm up for a meet. Perhaps mid April or mid May (can't do April 22nd for two weeks as I am in Norfolk).
There are a few places like Upton Warren, Brandon Marsh or even a walk around the Wyre Forest near Bewdley.
The Wyre Forest is one of my favourite places. Mid May could see you finding Tree Pipit, Redstart, Pied Flycatcher, Garden Warbler, Wood Warbler (difficult) Cuckoo and Dipper.

Chris you are surely not going to miss out the man who made Commander in record time - digiKevin.

John | If you wait until then maybe Stuart will have made his 1000th post. Would be nice to meet the guy whose dream started all of this. I wonder what I did with my time before WAB took over my life. The only thing is who will be left to mind the shop?
