[PADDY]

To quote Twain, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated!"

My name's PADDY and I'm an NOS (New Old Stock) Member of this Lounge. So bear with me as I pull up a stool and, a drink, as it's been a while... and...


It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place cept you and me, so set em up Joe...I got a little story I think you oughtta know...
We're drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode, so...
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road


To my Gentlemen Colleagues above and beyond the Pearly Gates of TFL...Give me a tweak please when you can, so that I get my ANGEL WINGS back - thanks in advance!

 

[Smithy]

Good to see you back me old mate! I was worried there for a tick.

Hope you've been giving that 5 of yours a good dose of salts!

Cheers,

Tim

Too much black ice for the Five to be around now. Been put under canvas and waxoiled underneath against the elements. Just need to take the battery out now. Far too risky on these roads in winter for dear Lola!!
Must say, "Different to be out of the TOP OFFICE for a while and mixing with the drinkers and saw-dust in here on the bar room floor.

I'd forgotten what a lively joint this place down 'here!' Like the vintage movie where the Prince comes out of the castle in disguise and wanders down the old back alleys meeting the street folk, haha!

I'll make the most of it down here as a New Member, whilst my new set of WINGS are made up (when you hear the BELL RING, you'll know!), as it won't last

"There were some truly vile rumours flying about, but of course I refused to listen, especially to the one about Norma Desmonds silk stocking!"

 

[HadleyH]

Welcome back PADDY!!!!!!!

 

[Tango Yankee]

Say, you look a lot like a guy who used to hang around this joint a lot... any relation?

Welcome back from the digital netherworld!

Cheers,
Tom

Good to see you back, and among us regulars kicking the sawdust. You were sorely missed Paddy!

 

[HepKitty]

we missed you Paddy!

 

[Diamondback]

Am I the only one who just felt a great disturbance in the Force subsiding? lol

Welcome back, Paddy! Now here's hoping they can get all your old posts reassigned back to you again...

 

[PADDY]

Thanks ladies and gents!! The backroom boffins are working their blessed little cotton socks off in the upgrade (which is no mean feat) and also in getting me back to full status, magic powers 'and all!' .
It'll happen all in good time
In the meanwhile, it's given me some unexpected and welcome R&R to sort some much needed things out in the 'real world' at this end.

Just 'good' to be back running with the pack again!!

 

[Spitfire]

Cheers mate! I was almost worried... Almost!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Hey Paddy
There was a wild rumor that you had went Disco...
...but I hadn't really had time to spread that around much.
Your Buddy

Glad to hear all this, and hear from you btw, love your new tag line, taken in part from your blog heading.
