forum evolved. Hully not like

Cain · 05/06/2011 21:43

In what respect? On MN? I agree, but then could also disagree...same old, same old. In Britain? Oh yes, the jury is still out whether the change is for the good. World wide? Oh yes they are, slaughter and maiming of innocents - its par for the course it seems.

Umami · 05/06/2011 21:44

I remember when this was all trees...

Hullygully · 05/06/2011 21:44

No, not the forum. Fings.

I used to love Spangles.

Nothing fills the Spangle-shaped void in my life.

And there are other fings, but this is the most important fing.

Umami · 05/06/2011 21:46
