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.

John

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.

Fine by me Graham - a contest with 20D's fitted with Sigma 150's, a bit like the gunfight at the ok coral

John, sorry to hear of your computer problems, all sorted now?
You mean no one else congratulated you? Shocking!
I should have posted a thread here as well....

I wish it was ok but my PC is a bit sick at the moment. 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.

At 972, everyone's leaping right past me so I refuse to join in on this thread until I've got my 1000

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

Sorry Wildone.

I was trying to work from memory (fatal with me at the moment. lol)

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

John

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.

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?
