I don't mind sayin "goodnight", and I'm a bit like you Gilly, more often than not I "lurk" as a guest for a tad longer, or I might fininsh some work off for a while, say...20 minutes or so.
Its sayin goodbye that I don't like, especially to friends. I remember last year when I'd been visiting Flooey & Bart. On the morning of my departure, Flooey & me walked to the end of the road, all the usual "goodbye" hugs, then I set off for the bus station. I had to keep lookin back. Flooey was still stood there wavin, with me wavin back in the distance (tear in mi eye).....NOPE....Definately don't like goodbye's....
I know that Bart would say "Eeeee Mick, stop being a wuss" which in normal lingo means; don't be so soft. But ya can't help the way yer made....Plus I think the world of Flooey & Bart....and a helluva lotta people on here also...
I'm prattlin & reminicing at the same time !!

Just like Bob...I love this forum, it really does mean a lot to me....and also the people on it...
