YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread. 2009

Known to many in the Cyclamen Society - cycnich is Pat Nicholls  

[Maggi Young]

So, we will be ready to welcome Pat on his "arrival" in these pages.... let's hope he does arrive... it would be embarrassingif he disappears off into the ether.....
The name given for Number 1000, as he must surely be known, is, though, "cycnich"....rather than "cynich".....

Doh 

[Lesley Cox]

Well many congratulations to cycnich on being the 1000th. A pic in T-shirt would be good.

 Gently, Lesley, gently, we don't want to put the poor chap off us right away... 

[Maggi Young]

Doh  

 Don't feel bad, Art... I had to read it three times till I SAW it as cycnich and not cynic(h) ! Perhaps Pat will explain which he intended when he arrives ?!!

[Anthony Darby]

Power to the people!

I see a certain rugby coach (Andy Robinson) has come back to haunt the Aussies again!

I should add he is no relation

Crumbs! That's a relief!  


..... "that" Rugby match.......
The BD watched the match on TV and told me that the Scots played wonderful defensive rugby to win by one point over the Australians today!  Since  it seems that we won 9 balls in their half of the pitch and they won 59 in ours, it is true that defensive play was obviously our forte on the day..... it wouldn't hurt to get up to speed with the attacking game as well ,though would it?  So, we are pretty happy, but there is room for improvement! 

[Paul T]

Well, cycnich certainly makes sense as a name, if it is Cyclamen Society member Pat Nicholls.

Anthony,

Heck, it's been 27 years since the Scotland team beat us (I think I heard it was 1982 the last time the Aussies were beaten by Scotland)..... you've got to give them a win every few decades don't you?  Otherwise they'll just completely give up. 

[Maggi Young]

"Give up?"  We don't know the meaning of those words..... my personal opinion is that the average sportsman is too dim to manage more than one word at a time, so they and the spectators too, trundle on, unabashed!

I was just looking in the member list to see if there is a way of finding anyone in Malta (I am there for the new year and thought it would be nice to visit some private gardens if I can find any) when I noticed that the member list said "1 to 30 of 1000 members".  I got all excited and wondered if anyone else had noticed that there were exactly 1000 members - I should have guessed Maggi would be on the ball.

Congratulations to the SRGC forum 

P.S.  does anyone know if it is possible to search members by country?

[angie]
