I miss the profiles

Profiles
This might explain why some of you know each other so well....you used to have profiles....
but what if people lie?

I am short, and do get angry . I have lived in Nottingham but now live by the sea.

I have read constantly since age 4 or 5 and am puzzled by people who do not read at all.

It is kind of fun though trying to work out who is this person whose posts wind me up/ make me smile/ i often agree with.

How about this?

Gonegirl...what, that I'm short and live in Nottingham? Or that I'm often angry? (People generally know when I am)

The lot. It's your profile now.

That is such a good idea EllaKeat52DurhamDonkey.

Lover (sorry, forgot that bit)

You are NOT a donkey.

The only one I remember is Greyduster. It was her beret, I admired. grin
Marydoll I haven’t worn a beret since 1966! Where did you see that, pray?

I take it you live in Durham - or it's a breed of donkey?

Well here goes - I am from the North West, early 60s, another shorty, just under 5' and weight 7s 5lbs. I have 2 grandchildren who luckily, live 10 mins away. Though I am short, not sure I am angry, being more of a pacifist, forgive and forget, life's too short kind of person. Although, I have been known to go off like a bottle of fizzy pop if hunting, child or animal cruelty are being discussed ???

I do miss the profiles terribly. Especially on the Good Morning thread when someone says what their weather is like but not where they are.

I quite like Ella’s idea. I’m halfway there already. *NfkDumpling72.DH1,DC3.DGC4.

Riverwalk I live in Durham ?
Oh, my goodness! I am not 52, I am 58! I must change my name....... must have been wishful thinking?

I am told on a regular basis how tall I am but can never remember so I continue to think I'm a tall, willowy blond with very few wrinkles and definitely only one chin! I only ever eat healthy food which includes chocolate, gin and the odd mince pie and have never spit my dummy out at anyone apart from inanimate objects like uncooperative mobile phones or computers. I live in the wilds of South Yorkshire with the original Victor Meldrew and the she devil incarnate (aka the cat who shall remain nameless) and her docile 'brother' the fairy killer

I am 5 foot 3 and rotund. I like colouring my fringe different colours. Pink this time. I live in Doc Martens and have too many handbags. I like wine, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord and crisps. Milk and citrus fruit make me spotty.
I love animals and reading. Widowed 2 years in January coming. Still wobbly about that. Prone to loneliness. 2 stepsons and 5 grandchildren I don’t see often . No ones fault.
I am 57 and have dyscalculia. Diagnosed with PTSD but manage ok in the main. Live in grim, grimy deprived West Yorkshire town. House damp and leaky. That’s it I think.

I didn't realise the profiles had been disabled. I deleted mine when the panic started, and have never looked at anyone else's.

What would be useful, though, would be to be able to read a poster's other posts, which conversations they have contributed to and what they said.

Oh - me? I'm the one who grew up in Suffolk but have lived in Germany now for over 40 years. I'm about on the lower end of average height and consider life too short to get cross about anything.

Yes, thank would be good to see what people have posted. If only to help not causing any accidental offence about something.

That.

BradfordLass I am sat here after almost laughing myself off the chair trying to picture what the hell an “ armadildo” is and if such thing exists , should I get one ? ?

What an hilarious thread----is it for real ??

Our names used to show in blue if our profile was open to the rest. Once someone used a bit of info in mine to send me an offensive PM.
I am forever 27 which is odd as I have a GD of that age. A cat person (miaow) who also gets on with dogs - they always smile at me in the street. Still have all my teeth - at least I've paid for them. I have such green fingers that my garden could soon become a Japanese moss garden. Love rugby but just watching; my playing days are over.
Any kindred spirits out there?

I, too, miss the profiles. Not that mine was riveting but I did enjoy reading everyone else’s and seeing their photos - it’s always nice to put a face to a name. I am short (five feet and half an inch - very important to me, that half inch), frequently angry and have webbed feet from standing in water too long (I may have webbed knees as well!). Like QuaintIrene I like a pint of Timmy’s but my preferred tipple is Guinness (which you used to be able to get on prescription back in the day!). Those who frequent the GM thread will know that I live in South Yorkshire, and I have one grandchild. And I don’t own a beret?, but have a variety of other strange headgear!

annodimini I love rugby too. Used to follow Fartown. I wanted to play but girls just didn’t when I was young. I played hockey instead. We were fierce !

You could be my twin salsa as I'm also 5'1" and live in the Nottingham area and can get angry if I lose something or face a setback to what I'd prefer to be a peaceful life.
