New Members (very exciting!)

andy

We have new members!!

One of them owns a dog. This is ace.

The other one may also own a dog, but hasn't told me. This is still OK.

I hope they introduce themselves and enter the debate on whether the crepe stall is a business that we should buy.

Can everyone else pretend that we all post loads on this site please?

Michelle

Hello

I don't own a dog. Do you have ways of finding out if people do own dogs? This is extremely Intriguing.
Anyway I guess I am new.
I'm a little scared this is a bit like the first day of school... without the orange squash.

David

Welcome Wassey. Don't be scared. Andy may shout loudest in the playground and assume everyone has a dog because he's got one, but he's actually quite nice. Are you proper N4 local or just curious from a far?

Michelle

Oh not so scared now. Thank you.
I've always wanted a dog but would most likely lose the poor thing.
I am a proper N4 girl.. graduated up from N8 just recently so new to it's delights.

However I have sampled the waffles.

By the way, how do I get rid of the capitals in my name? Looks like I'm angry. I'm not.

David

You are now lower case.

andy

Ace.

I love the idea of "N4" or "N4-curious".

Michelle

I am much happier now I'm a lower case N4-curious

Lucy

Hello Wassey.

It's not Andy's dog. It's my dog.

Also, whilst we're on the subject of changing names, can I be Lucy F or Lucyf rather than lucyfenton? Surprising that Andy, with such a common name, gets to be Andy and I, with my less common name, have lucyfenton. As lasquith is thus monikered, can I be just Lucy? Or would this be too confusing for fordster and lasquith and others. Starting to gibber now. Too much chocolate cake and not enough tea.

Maybe I'll even have a nickname. Will have to think of one though.

David

You are now Lucy.

Michelle

It is important I reckon to be comfortable with ones name.
I am a little embarrased that mine appears as Wassey, it makes me appear as one of those people that like to be known as their surname but in quirky shortened form..

David

Would you like to be known as something else? There's not that many of us, I'm sure your first name is still available.

Michelle

Michelle?

David

I made it so.

Michelle

yeah! Ta!

Lucy

David is the God of stroudgreen.org. Or the fairy godmother.

Liz

That makes Andy the wicked stepmother/witch/whatever. Which is about right as he does have a penchant for banning people who disagree with him (Michelle, don't worry, he normally only does this to people he knows quite well).

andy

We have another new member. I would encourage him to post a hello here. Then we can start googling him.

Danny

Howdie,

Not sure how much info you want from me but here goes.

I don't own a dog :(
I've lived in stroud green for 1 year - loving it by the way
Aged 25 with 1 wife & 1 son.

anything else just ask

Lucy

welcome danny.

Lucy

By the way, had someone contact me on Stroudgreen.com (which is still my site andrew!). Have sent them a note to direct them this way. Can we start a finder's fee type thing? Happy for this finders fee to be that andy has to make tea or walk the dog!

Pete

Finders fee? Tell that to Simple Escapes

David

Isn't Simple Escapes some type of scam via AOL in the US?

andy

Never heard of it

Pete

To which andy never asked for a finders fee

David

i think eacy finder's forwarder can be countered for each day you advertised a rival stroud green site, Lucy. And by the way, I tried really hard to sign up to your site as Keanu Reaves but it just kept looping back to the same questions. If you're not gonna let in Keanu, who exactly is the site for?

Lucy

it's cos you spelt it wrong. Plus, I have a special site for Keanu! Have replied to you bogus person already! (I have to accept you and when I say yes then you can become a member - I declined)

andy

This week we're saying "Hello" to two new members - four eyes and doug. Assuming doug can log in now?

Hello!

andy

Though if they start by reading through this thread, they will be totally baffled.

Four Eyes

hello all. Yes you do indeed have a new user...not too baffled, I'm sure I'll soon get the jist :)

andy

Cool. Tell us something interesting about yourself. (In a league of gentleman voice) Are you.....local?

andy

AHA. Are you the same chap whose <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/speckyfoureyes/260800632/">lovely photo</a> of Finsbury Park we have put on the welcome page?
