Hi there, and warm greetings from the Yorkshire coast.
Looking forward to settling in here as you all seem such a friendly crowd 
Have already noticed a couple of my buddies from over the road, namely boozer and spider, good to see you!
Please be patient with me as I find my feet, and I apologise in advance for inevitable ‘bloopers’ I am bound to make!
Thank you all.
Hello and welcome to the forum Starry Eyes
Well a big hello to you Starry Eyes, and of course you and I are already very good ‘buddies’.
In fact I don’t mind people knowing that I have already met you on a ‘meet’ very recently in Liverpool.http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/hug/hugging.gif
And a lovely Lady you are too.
Just for you by way of welcome here is
Michael Holliday and…
Starry Eyed. 
Thank you Cheshire Cat and I just love your avatar!
Awww, thank you boozer, still finding all this very strange but I’m sure I will soon get the hang of it. (with your help, of course) ;-)
