Hi Neiobi - I just looked at the list of twitter followers on my account - it shows your real name as well as user name - you might want to edit your settings to protect your privacy

Hi Crazy

I was surprized too

Look after yourself

Thanks - I am only just learning how to use my big zoom - and I can never get near enough to anything that isn't tame

i love birdwatching Do you have many birds where you are? Is it mostly dry semi-desert? or are you in a greener area? I don't really know much about Iran's climate

I'm not surprised - you were up very late - especially for an oldling i went to bed and slept again and woke up late today

Hi Crazy

I'm not really here - i should be in bed, but I fell asleep in front of the telly Thought I'd do a quick catch-up

Were you stalking me? You can be my post count notifier in chief

Oh Gosh

13,999 How did that happen It's not like I spend all day on here or anything

Thanks for the tip-off - I never notice these things at the right time

How can I ignore you when you wave so nicely

Which would mean waiting for a phonecall/text all Monday - too stressful for words. I think I'll settle for going to choir pratice

I've thought about it. I know I could get away with it - my boss is hopeless at discipline - to the detriment of the organisation - it's one of his more endearing qualities.

But if I do it and my staff find out how would I manage them afterwards? They would be doing the same whenever they feel like it. And I would lose authority.

And fundamentally it's dishonest - it would spoil the enjoyment. I'm not the sort who pushes boundaries like that - I've been too well dragged up.

Hi Silver

Result from the RHS

"Thank you for your enquiry to the Royal Horticultural Society's Members’ Advisory Service.

The image you sent for identification appears to depict, not an umbellifer but Valeriana officinalis, a perennial plant widespread in much of Europe. Its wide natural range of distribution is reflected in the great degree of variation which it shows and this has resulted in the naming of numerous subspecific variants, few of which, however, are now recognised. V. officinalis has heads of pale pink or, occasionally, white, flowers, borne on a stem about 1m (3ft) tall. The leaves are variable but are usually pinnately divided. It is easily grown, blends well with other perennial plants and seems attractive to cats. It grows wild in ditches, damp woods and rough grassy places. Judging by the shape of the leaves yours is probably the subspecies V. officinalis subsp. sambucifolia.

Yours sincerely,

James Armitage

I've posted it in the oldlings as well, but thought you might miss it.

Hi Wendi - glad to see you've been back online I've missed you. I hope you are much better and enjoying Easter (although it's alomost gone now )

Hello Punky1989. I haven't seen you posting for a while - I'm glad to see you here again - I always enjoy your posts

Hi HollyD - I've just accepted you as a friend Thanks for the request

Hi Guy

Did you know that, if you look at alist of Mika's twitter followers, it shows your full name, as well as username? you might like to edit it for privacy (if you are as paranoid as I am about such things)

Thanks Rose - that helps I've found you now

Here's mine http://twitter.com/naectegale

You're welcome

yay indeed Not the best match, but the goals were good

that's the program itried - but I couldn't work it out very well

I've tried to do things like that, using some free on-line site - but it's hopeless - I have no artistic skill or imagination, and I can't use the software either

I am in awe of those who can do clever things

He doesn't I'm so disappointed

Although nothing has been proved so it may all be OK in the end - fingers crossed it was his pals who were to blame

It looks like he will be for the moment - both Liverpool and England. But I have always expected better from Gerrard - any other player and I wouldn't be nearly so shocked.

Hi Sarah_Lollipop

I've just accepted your friend request and as I did so, noticed your avatar has "You'll never walk alone" under it - are you a Liverpool FC fan? are you as annoyed with Gerrard as I am at the mo? I can't believe he's got involved in this kind of nonsense

Hi Wendi

I gather that you are not posting because you are unwell. I hope it's not too serious and that you feel better soon. This place isn't the same without you.

xx N

You are the first to post in my messages as well (I only know one smiley without having a list to select from, so you will see a lot )
