Martin- glad to hear you kept socks. Pretty much like me- I can't bear to part with them. The memories attached/the places they've walked/ people whose faces you've lovingly tickled with em. No, keep them. Always.
it could be off australia, it could be in the great lakes, could be off bognor regis, no one knows, he controls his evil empire from it, and no one has breached the defences...
I wasn't particularly meaning to be derogative to UKA, and since I don't write in a creative capacity I have no call whatsoever to comment. Just tried to think of connection which would link socks etc. Never been to Tenby as it happens. Why a penguin?
Yes only couldn't click on link. All of my socks are lonely as none, and that probably isn't an exaggeration, have partners. Ask Jasper who seems to have conveniently disappeared. If you're asking am I lonely then the answer is both yes and no.
Shackelton- touched you admitted that part of your history to me. I too have a soft spot for penguin but I don't want to cause a rift between your mum and dad!
Hmmmm...not so much you as a lonely user...was thinking more of all this creative work floating about looking for a home...a lot of lonely socks...both on uka and abc...
Goodness, is that the time ?
*falls soundly asleep*
Saw Shackleton on the telly and thought it was great, helped obviously by Brannagh. One of my dreams is to go on a polar bear sight seeing trip btw!! Mad, I think SO.
and, if you havent figured it out, which I'm sure you have, this is the complete opposite of flirting. This is getting slammed and trying to figure out which one is Jasper who doesn't say he's Jasper.
Don't insult him. I have this perverse love hate thing going on with him. And I won't, nay, CANT let you insult him. Glad you're ok Jasper (meaning it).
On a serious note re UKA:
I am so sad that Andrea and Richard will no longer be able to host their wonderful site together.
They were so well suited. She gave orders he took 'em.
There may be many who may think that they may have had a fall out. No tis not possible, after all what would the site be without it's matriarch at the helm.
I do hope that at least the young writers side gets reinstated, many a brilliant writer on there.
To conclude as you all know I ain't a bitter lady.....but
YIPPEE.......long time coming. OOps sorry had a slight breakdown there, withdraw last sentence. ;0
Hi....Couldn't resist this chirpy little thread. Jasper I would watch what you say about robbing and not paying bills, if I were you. That is slander me ansum. Uka is a very good site, imo. and has a great community of good writers and learners like me. Just got to this site and the verdict is still out, but from what I have been reading on the threads there seems to be a lot of bitching going on! Well you will never meet a bigger bitch than me when roused. So should be interesting. I see Rita is still her charming sweet self, and jasper your bedside manner, is just delightful!
Hi shacks, hi mississippi, you're both from uka. too. Nice to see you and look forward to chatting some time.
Well I doubt UKA is finished. I'd be kinda disappointed if it is, there are some nice people on there. I know I give it a hard time now and then but I have some good memories too.
If it IS gone though, I'll put in a bid for the sandbox.
Hi shacks, you do make me blush darling, thanks anyway.lol mississippi, that's a bit vulturistic ain't it?lol Bloody writers, mad the lot of them!!rofl.
The new server just cannot cope with the mass of truly fantastic work on the site that's all. Andrea is dealing with it. No hackers!!! this week.
Smiling serenely.lol
Tai what no smilies! Complaining already see shacks!lol
Hi Mississippi & all
Thanks for that message (above). UKA hasn't gone anywhere, we've just had some problems with the engine that's used to run it. It seems that it can't cope any more (I know how it feels!).
UKA will be back and I would love for the two sites (UKA & ABC) to get back on track and become the friendly and complimentary neighbours we were when we started.
I know that UKA didn't set out to become the enemy that we seemed to have become to some members of abc and I think the reason for this has been lost in the passage of time. What ever it was, it certainly wasn't intentional (and I speak for both Andrea and myself).
Anyway, I don't want this post to start a riot again. I just posted it because of your comment above missi.
Perhaps,....... well, you know the rest.
AJ, we've spoken a few times on MSN (admittedly not recently) and I thought we got on ok. I feel a bit sad that you have taken such a delight in seeing UKA suffer like this. I know you have issues with Andrea, but UKA is there to offer writers an avenue for their work just like abc. Of course the two sites are run in different ways but does that make UKA a poor site?
anyway. I just wanted to say thanks to all those who have supported us and sorry to all the people we seem to have offended.
bye for now.
Richard (UKA aka sandbox)
