Hi Figgs,

I didn't think I would be making another post here but it's too hard not to
having just read your post. g

As you say many of us have had lots of fun here in the Win Me NGs over the
last ten years. I can't believe that it was as long ago as 2004 that we met
up and I took Ron and yourself for a meal at La Barca here in London. BTW
your memory has slightly let you down as Noel was with me in Seattle in
February when we let you hold sway in the NGs in our absence.

It would be nice if we could find another secluded spot on the WWW and
continue on, but thanks to MS, that is not going to happen.


There are places we could gather it we were so inclined, just not on the MS
NNTP server so you would have to use eternal-september or one of the other
free usenet servers. We could even set up our own newsgroup. What about
alt.social.figgs.and.cream? vbg

I'm sorry to read of your, Ron and Elayne's various traumas and ills and
wish you all the very best as I do others reading this who are not in the
best of health. I've got one big outstanding job I'm trying to finish off
and when that's done will try and concentrate on writing some e-mails so
just hold on, something should hopefully be winging its way in your
direction soon - and to Joan and Shane as well.

I'm copying this post to e-mail just in case this NG has gone before you get
a chance to see my post.

Hugs and kisses to everyone (not sure about kisses for Noel g)

Signing off,

Mike

I am going to miss you all SO MUCH!!!!! I hated to write a goodbye
post, so held off. I had a great time remembering over 10 years of
good times on this ng.......like when Mike and the OE guys were all
at the MVP gala eons ago and the only ones holding down the fort were
myself and Noel........that is how we met. The blind leading the
blind, lol. And Majik was over on OE frantically trying to deal with
stuff while his good buddy Steve C was hoisting more than a
few.....lol.
Lots of fun things to remember. I am only remembering those. We
have had our share of wannabees and self-proclaimed X-spurts on
WinME, but no one will ever hold a candle to Mikey!! And I wanted to
call you that one last time, Sir Michael of London. (VBG)

When we went to the UK in 2004, we met up with Noel in Chester for
dinner (where he scared all the little old ladies) and I tried to
pass an out-of-date 5 (?) pound note......lordy, that was funny!! Poor
Noel!! And we had a wonderful, sumptuous feast in London with
Mike and lots of yakking. Poor Mike!! I have been enjoying all of
the memories while my *rememberer* still works, grin. Oh, and
sitting in the pub with Noel chatting to Joanie on his mobile....hang
the cost, eh??
Then Noel had to babysit my daughter Elayne when she went to Scotland
and England the next year. I somehow don't think he minded that too
much, snicker. The Mouse sends her best to you as well. She is
recovering from nasty dental surgery, so is also one of the *walking
wounded*.
Yes, we have all had our ups and downs healthwise, but what the heck,
it must be at least 10 years that we have known each other. I look
forward to one day meeting up with John John if we ever get back to
the Maritimes. Would love to go back to England, but don't think that
will happen unfortunately. Damn, who else have I missed. Mart, how
did we not meet up on our trip in 2004?? And I was so darn close to
where you are. And the Loon....I phoned him when Katrina hit......he
sure talks funny, but then he is a Texas Merkin. (G)

So my darlings........I will gather up all the Maxines I can find and
send them to you all.......that old broad kind of reminds me of
myself, grin. She is an outspoken, outrageous old lady and I guess I
sorta fit that description in my dotage.

It would be nice if we could find another secluded spot on the WWW and
continue on, but thanks to MS, that is not going to happen.

Love to all and take care of yourselves, you hear?? Seeing as I am
the oldest (which I have never admitted to before), you better listen
up, OK?? 8-))

Big hugs from the two of us........you people are the best!!

Ron and Heather
