Purple Poppy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 A very happy accident, I reckon. We're glad to have you join us. I expect some of us in the UK would appreciate a description of your home town, and state even, as most of us probably won't know anything about it. So when you get fully settled in, that would be good. Oh, and I'm a March birthday and just a bit older than you, and was a musician, as are some of the others here. So you have heaps in common with other folk on the forum. Enjoy, PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
