    Yup there are some lousy parents around - but there must also be some good ones, cos some of the kids I have met recently are fine. Including the young lad that comes to help in the garden when he wants. Loves wildlife and growing things.

    Jjordie,

    What does the forum cover?
    Have you bought a specific web address yet, or are you going on one of those 'Free' forum setups ?

    If you need any help, let me know.

    Nathan.

    Alan Price Fans Forum :D :D :D
    and Yes it's one of the free forums.

    Needs a little fine tuning but there are one or two members posting. Not on Google yet - I am told it takes 3 or maybe 4 months for the 'spiders' to find it - true?

    I did put the link on my profile but it doesn't seem to work unless you copy it into google bar.

    And thanks for offer of help - will certainly ask if any problems crop up

    The reason I ask about it being a 'free' forum, though it doesn't cost anything, I have heard of people having problems.

    Maybe in the early stages, consider getting a domain ie GardenersCorner.co.uk cost �£10 + VAT for 2 years.

    Just checked for availability of AlanPriceFansForum , both .com (�£25+vat_ and .co.uk (�£10+vat) are available .

    Check http://www.titanhosts.net/ for availability or domain names (down the left hand side of the screen is a 'domain search', enter the domain name and then click GO ;) .

    Nathan.

    Trouble is, Nathan, that there's a relative who's giving jjordie lots of bad advice because 'their' only experience is setting up a website which I discover (oops, let the cat out of the bag there!!!) is totally different from a forum!

    As regards the bad kids discussion, I have this to say - when I was a kid, one had to mind all adults and anyone of them could tell you off or even give you a clip round the ear if you'd done something they thought was wrong. I was expected to stand back to let them through doors first, make way for them in the street, let them have my seat on the bus and always be polite and 'seen and not heard'.

    Now I'm all growd up and the kids barge through, knocking me out of the way, never give me a seat on a bus or a train, rarely take a ha'porth of notice if I say anything and let doors close in my face.

    What I want to know is - when is it MY turn!??? [​IMG]

    Would love to visit Alnwick Castle (Where they film many things for TV/film ie Harry Potter).

    Looks like there is plenty to do ....... Just have to make a date to go and have a look though, as it is a long way from Essex :( .
