Ah, a master of the English language

Let me see... laxative (Archaic.) ... referring to looseness.
Re-quote..."You guys cover such a loose variety of topics (inferring, you are not so narrow minded to stick to one or two subjects) that you have kept me amused by your cutting wit and humour over the last few months by exceptional and outstanding use of your vivacious and extremely diverse comments and views to the posted topics."

Hi to everyone especially Katcal, Tamyra & Spi.

Thanks Joc for clearing up the confusion regarding laxatives. Tam's statement can now be interpreted in the light that she means loose not just juicy.

Yay, Joc ! So, if you're not suffering from any form of verbal or non-verbal diarrhoea, have a big chunk of cheese, on me... (well, not literally on me, of course...)

Having been somewhat off the board due to heart problems (medical not romantic) and then serious fractures due to falls - two fragmented verterbrae and ten cracked ribs - I am now looking forward to getting back on - but it takes time to get back into normal life!

Yikes - welcome back, Pixel! Good to hear you're (more or less) in one piece!

Welcome back pixel. I hope it wasn't tripping over the cat the did the damage!

I was just about to say that Pixel should be the next one to tumble out of the closet of lost boardanians... Yikes man that's a lot to go through just to provide a decent excuse for not posting. Don't let it happen again.

Don't worry about getting back into normal life Pixel, just post on here instead.

Bugger off!
I don't want to see any of that curdled cow juice even threatening my 50+lb weight loss from the last few months.

I laughed myself ill with Cheese War I. I "aten't" gonna be responsible for messing up the scenery by starting CWII.

Welcome back Pixel. I just hope the falls weren't due to Katcal being messy and leaving unexploded cheeses lying around in your path.

how's your post going, ella?
Ella says:
i've written several
Ella says:
and they've all been deleted
Chris says:
perfectionist

Ella says:
i have had the net back on my laptop for about one hour!
Ella says:
and there is the most perfect "hi i'm back" thread sitting on the board
Ella says:
which takes all pressure away from making a profound First-In-Ages Post
Chris says:
it's hard to be original with so many returns
Ella says:
and still
Ella says:
STILL
Ella says:
i don't know how to say "hi, i'm back"

The follow-up is always better than the comeback single!

I assume you just did

Welcome back!

Ella was obviously struggling to compete with the dramas of Pixel in explaining her absence... With all of that it would be quite hard.

Welcome back to both of you. Now. Don't do it again.

Aw. Welcome back!
And as Spiky said, don't do it again.

To be fair, she's been living with Doors. That's pretty trumatic.

true, does make you wonder what pixel's wingeing about...
