Welcome Cycnich - you are the most famous person on this Forum - congratulations    

[Gerry Webster]

Welcome Pat. The last time I saw you was in Haywards Heath! I still have a C. graecum anatolicum which came  from you - the best one I have. Good to know you are still growing them.

The forum is the biggest, fastest growing and most active SRGC group.

Well done Maggi and Ian for their  very proactive role.

Hi Gerry
           Long time no see and I still have several crocus that came from you . Pat.

[Ragged Robin]

Yes, I'm so happy that we have such a great SRGC Forum thanks to our Global Moderators, our Whizz Kid Admin and all our  Friendly Forumists    

[Maggi Young]

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?

Possible by some email address extensions, John ...... but that;'s not very reliable.

As far I know we have no  Forum members in Malta .... if I've got that wrong, I hope I have not made a Maltese Crosss.....  
 
 And, though the SRGC has members in something like 38 to 40 countries across the world, I don't think Malta is represented.

- I should have guessed Maggi would be on the ball.

So it's Maggi for the Scottish Rugby team then? That will REALLY be a problem for the Aussies and NZers too probably, never mind the South Africans, French, Irish, English, Italians and Argentinians. Hey !! we could arrange a Rugby World Cup in 2011 made up entirely of Forum members.

[Lesley Cox]

A warm welcome Pat, from the Southern Half.
And roll on 2000

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. 

I don't follow the thugby, but I gather from what the commentators said afterwards that the Wallabies didn't try hard enough or something
Congrats to Scotland on the win.
cheers

Couldn't resist adding a grouse about common annoyances    Why do folk say , "  I'll just double check."   when they didn't check a first time ? Once will do if they do it properly,and if I hear " Absolutely fantastic"one more time I'll scream.
 YES  I'm so happy when someone like Peter Ustinov features on TV with his immaculate and cultured vocabulary.  Did anyone else enjoy his appreciation of Elgar and thrill to it?

[Anthony Darby]

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

Anthony,

Now who being patronising Paul?

...but they would say that wouldn't they?

[Lesley Cox]

I guess if he lived in the SH, Pat's nom de Forum would be Psych Nick. As he's in the north, it's probably Sick Nick.

[Lesley Cox]

Gwen I've missed out again and don't know Ustinov's Elgar appreciation. Is it on YouTube or somewhere? Could you just double check? That would be absolutely fantastic, thanks.
