I am so bummed because I left out part of my caption. I know it doesn’t count for the competition, but I want to say it anyway. The second half should have been. “Hey, but do you see the two cute guys by the white van they’ve been watching us…guess we haven’t lost it after all.”

Jimbo, my Chook defo wins this one! Surely everyone will agree (don’t you guys?) that there’s no beating what she has come up with! :D

Fits all your criteria Jimbo - smelling flowers until old age, cyber friendship that started here and carries on in real life, AND she talks about one of your fave contributors, Miss Jones! (GO! Smell the modesty ha! ;) )

Heather: HICK-up

I’m Caroline, my primary blog http://caroline-songofhappiness.blogspot.com is about me, although I never thought of myself as narcissistic but I suppose I must be, at least a little bit. To be honest its less about me, as it is about the things that I see and/or experience.

Right now, I feel excited (I get to go back to the UK for 3 weeks)

I see personal attacks are flavour of the month again with Admin eh. Not a single rebuke for Sterile Fins having a dig at The Poof.

You know what George Orwell says about animals and how some are more equal than others eh Sterile Fins? That must make you a a pig then, since Admin thinks you’re more equal than other animals.

Sterile Pig you are then from now onwards.

I have ruled.

HELLO DICTATOR - WE TEND TO STAY CLEAR OF THE PERSONAL ATTACKS HERE AT FLOWER AND LET THE COMMUNITY SELF MODERATE - THE DAY WE DELETE COMMENTS IS A SAD AND CONTRIVED ONE SO WE LET IT GO.

GSTF WILL BE FOCUSING ON CONTENT THAT ADDS VALUE, THAT PEOPLE CAN INTERACT OVER IN TERMS OF TRAVEL, HEALTH, INSPIRATION, FOOD, BOOKS AND OF COURSE FUN - SUCH AS OUR FREE FLOWERS CONTEST THAT HAS BEEN SIDETRACKED SOMEWHAT AS LOTS OF THE COMMENTS IN OUR FREE FLOWERS CONTEST AREN’T RELATED TO THE CONTEST.

HOWEVER WE’RE PROUD TO HAVE SOME NEWBIES ALONG AND ARE OWKRING HARD ON BRINGING MORE REGUALR VISITORS AND CONTRIBUTORS OVER TO SMELL! WITH 800,000 FLORA2000 CUSTOMERS BEING WELCOMED (WE HOPE) HERE FROM OCTOBER IT’LL MAKE FOR QUITE A PLACE.

OUR ROLE AS ADMIN IS TO TRY AND PROVIDE DECENT CONTENT THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT, CAN LEARN FROM AND CAN CONTRIBUTE TO.

But I bet he doesn’t win….. didn’t he get the last one? Twice on the trot would be favouritism, don’t think the exclusive Founders Club Committee would approve of that, after all, there more backs than his to be slapped on this blog….

BJ assuming other’s personas………? OK BJ, you were off on your sabbatical at the time but there was a right to do when this behaviour got out of hand with faux FFs, GITs (arf arf - still makes me laff) Jim & Ems, ACs, BJs, UPs etc etc.

Still, it was in my opinion one of the better epsiodes on this blog. Be careful what you start though BJ, the Founders’ Club don’t like it!

I don’t think that bj does assume other persona in fairness FF! She has a very distinct writing style whihc would be a giveaway.

I reckon its probably one of the other posters who used to post but then ran off like scalded cats. rex stormont? or that dave bloke who disappeared from view. middle east fella BUT i think he had issues. Always used to make us laugh as he used to try and pick up women on here but his technique was very poor. In fairness I think he was gay- and being gay in the UAE must absolutely suck- scuse the pun!!

but keep up the detective work Fertile its like colombo

UP, urge you re-read BJ’s comment, which was understood by me to be an admission it was in fact she (BJ) who made the comment under the posting name of ‘Lib’: “AC to win!!”
