Well done Paul. I suppose you're a bit over qualified now to come over and do some grass cutting, bramble clearance etc. ;D

Pat, thanks for the picture, and I'm happy to see what you look like especially in the T-shirt. I must get one for me - but especially for your super wee dog. Our Teddy sits in exactly the same way, and has his tummy scratched, sort of absent mindedly then he and I (or more often Roger) quietly drop off to sleep for an hour. So what's wrong with a dog's life? Teddy will be 1 on Dec 14th. I'm buying a rabbit for him ready to eat though; he won't have to catch and kill first. ;D not but what he wouldn't want to!)

Things weren't all black Lesley. You won!

Well yes, they were Anthony, them too. Though our lads had to wear white shirts. Best game they've played all year. The French guy with the long hair is suppose to scare the hell out of the opposition but not a chance here. He appears in ads for some sports wear firm and I reckon he's a pussycat, albeit a shaggy one ;D.

A personal "I'm so happy" at present..... I finished the last of my units for my Horticultural Study for this year and got results back...... I've now successfully completed my Certificate 3 in Horticulture.  Yeah!!!!!!  8)

Next year I'll continue on for the full Diploma (completed hopefully in 2011, part time), but at least I now can say I have completed the Certificate 3, which is what employers are wanting in general as a minimum.  ;D

It will be nice to finally have the piece of paper, even if that presentation will be about March or so.  ::)
Well done, Paul!
Best wishes for your continued good health and the year of study ahead.
cheers

Paul, I'm sure that we are all hoping for great employment opportunities to come along very soon for all our Forumists out there hunting for work at the moment. 
Well done for the success of your studies and continued efforts  8) 8)

HAPPY!???!!!!!
Hell no, I'm ecstatic! ....With Fred's news today, the SRGC Web Team of Fred Admin, the Bulb Despot and the Fat ControllerForum Dogsbody are understandably joyful ....... Fred was checking Web Statistics for Web Traffic and popularity.....
News from Fred Admin, here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=4593.new#new .........which confirms that the SRGC Website is indeed hitting all sorts of HIGHS!!

It appears that the SRGC Website and Forum is rated as the 567,905th most popular website in the world.


Yes, that is "in the world" ....an amazing feat for a Club like ours, when you consider the many many millions of websites out there!

 Fred reports the total number of websites last year as having been in the region of 182 MILLION so the SRGC standing is really magnificent.

Thanks, Helen,
 I think we are all feeling very pleased with this news. It is very heartening to see just how much success the website is having on such a huge scale.

Fred is being very kind by giving credit to us, but without him, the BD and I would just be sending out carrier pigeons to carry the Club to the world .... he is our engine and heart..... bless his Administrative socks! :) :-*

Maggi, Fred does an awesome job as do you and the BD. ;D ;D ;D
Then there are the blabbermouths ( I use this term with much affection ;D) who spread the word on the brilliance of the forum.
Thanks to these people there is always something interesting to read and look at. Probably too much interesting stuff when you look at total time logged in. :o :o :o
