Am having trouble making any sense out of the arcade, though there is an index down the side when I click on any of the catagories I just get the same lis coming up, games have nothing to do with the catagory I clicked on and the only way I can play anything I remotely like is if someone else has pl...

Just before you all launch back in to the daily politics show, I will tell you what caught my attention today, I inadvertantly clicked a link which took me back to the old site, and the nostalgia was palpable.

Yes Cally that's what I was getting at.

The Hoo is interesting in the poem above as it doesn't seem to be used to consistantly, there is a 'her' in the middle of the line..some sort of grammar rule about Her opening a sentence or bing in place of She? They still say Hoo for her in Catherine Cookson films...very North East!

Love your choice of smiley Gloria, you look like you sang the last line! Few minor glitches to report here..soo sorry Doc... more like user error really. 1) when clicking on the smileys above the reply box, is it possible to be able to just unclick them...took me ages to spot the word None at the be...

I have a tree on Genes reunited, it is the most basic one they do so costs only £9 a year, but like Gloria i have found that it is best to keep it closed so that people have to contact you if they want to know anything. I also have a tree on Ancestry and because I pay more than I do for the genes on...

Congratulations to your son Big Kev, a once in a life time experience for him. I am not a sports follower so the Olympics don't hold much fascination for me, and I am glad they are not on my doorstep as influx of thsands does not excite me, that said I am prooud of my country and glad to have this o...

Sue sorry to hear things are not good with your Dad, Stanley is right about him wanting you to look after yourself, try not to let worry make you ill. Hope things pick up as the week goes on.

I don't dislike the wlaking man, though i do find him distracting, my biggest problem is that he is out of keeping (and scale) with his background and the photo's are so lovely and say so much more about Barlick. I think a moving logo would be distracting too...perhpas we could make each picture a &...

Gearce if you look at him long enough he appears to be doing change step change! maybe he's a scot dancing!

I am completely confused by the above...Julie whatever has been happening? and Wendy, there are three large black photos with red 'no entry' signs on them with the words "you are not authorised to view this picture" printed accross them...oh dear what have I done? and what new post at the ...

Colder further east, but no snow yet.

I have visited Wallace Hartley's grave in Colne, here is a link to a picture of it: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cg ... emPhotos=Y& The grave yard was on a hillside on the edge of the town, in case there is more than one.

Doc, nice to see you are managing to retain a sense of humour in the face of all us clamouring bairns! One thing I need an explanation of is the "thanks" page, you have been thanked many time over but your "thanks indicator" says 0...not sure what it's all about!?

Ha ha, Meg was a train by the time I looked! On topic, I am begining to be a bit suspicious about "news" and who is reporting it.(Not you two, Bradders and Stanley) nationally I mean. It struck me the other day that if I were a terrorist organisation attempting world dominance then I would...

I'm liking the "view your posts" button, i always used to forget which posts I had posted in as i never got round to bookmarking anything.

Now that's naughty Maz, just because you are sweltering..go and read the etiquette page I'm sure you're not allowed to wish snow on people (you can tell i was the youngest eh?).

DOoOC! Do lots of full stops count the same as more than one exclamation mark?..I'm Telling! :D I am one of the dinosaurs who did everything off the ( oh can't scroll up to see what you called it) topic page, or whatever it was called, I also kept logged on and just clicked OG on favourites..I guess...

Doc, not sure if this is a glitch or intended, just had a look in games and scrolled down to the last catagory ( always searching for tetris) which is entitled something like misc. The first game described itself as "The stones are live on stage and need some satisfaction" and the avataor ...

bradders wrote " light swearing is allowed on the new site"...that's as maybe but I think you are over using your exclamation marks!! (see rules for etiquette).

Encouragingly today is wet and grey and cold..just right for January!

Maz, a little nap at lunchtime might be just what you need! OG knows best!

Like you Stanley, what attracted me is that OG is back online..and like you I am pottering around trying to make sense of it all, I do hope the adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" isn't true or I am going to lose a lot of friends..or myself!

Grummph...have finally realised I need to re register to get back (or forward as this is a new site) on the site, so "bravely going" I stop by to look at the message from doc, need to login to look at my profile, ok, managed to get my avatar..Bradders once you have clicked on the chosen pi...
