    In some ways this is not really relevant to a gardening forum, in general, but I do think it is relevant to this forum.

    Personally I don't find that much funny in life (a right sado, I know) but I have to say that I often leave my little flat in the morning (or whenever) having read a few posts on GC and I can't find the ability to stop having a right good giggle at some of the posts here-within. Occasionally the said poster is indeed intentionally inducing a giggle but often its very much and sincerely unintentional!

    Sorry, I can't bring myself to quote any of these very wonderful examples as I do not mean to cause any offence. However, I guess that if the GC forum members do enough reading of the posts then they may (or may not) know exactly what I am blethering about.

    Laughter, after all, is very much a passage away from lifes troughs to lifes peaks, if you get my meaning...???

    Happy to be here in the GC community!!
    Kind regards
    Roy

      Hello ladies and gentlemen,
      thanks for your replies and thanks indeed for making me feel welcome here at GC!

      I did intend to do some gardening today but spending too much time on this website and reading some other articles posted around the net re plants and stuff.

      I'll soon be a veritable (whatever that means) encyclopedia of horticultural knowledge and then forget it all, as you do...

      Kindest regards to you all!
      Roy

        Yes, you're right Zigs. GC has a good, friendly membership and we enjoy the laughs as well as some tears along the way. We're just one big happy family! :grphg:

        Val.....Royster hasn't posted since November, 2006 which is a shame.

        I don't think so Val. Did you read Ziggy's post #6?

          What a lovely bump of a thread :thumbsup:
          Even if the OP isn't still reading/posting, isn't it heart warming to know he found a ray of sunshine in his world from reading some posts on here.
          I do hope he's still smiling: where ever he may be today :spinning:
