Good grief! What has that scurrilous rag been printing? Still, whatever it is, I am sure that it is far more interesting than anything that I might come up with ...

Well met, SPM. I'm afraid I was rather inactive when you were around a lot. Here's hoping to see more of you from now on.

...Sorry.

Sauce, allow me to introduce myself as an inveterate lurker. I became addicted to reading the 'Downs right around your heyday (I think your WW game was the first I read) but only actually joined less than a year ago.

It is an honor to be in your presence, sir.

Whaaaaaat? Impossible! Well, I guess reactions like this will be all over the place now Yay! I was hoping for your return, sir SpM, but looks like my hope was still not "real" enough, I am surprised and amazed Welcome back! Well, and I hope you are planning to also stay around.

Wow. The return of SPM.


Just goes to show that you can never truly leave the 'Downs after you reach a certain point (and SPM has obviously reached that point further than most of us).

And yes, I joined just about when you were leaving, which at the time seemed a shame, but now you've returned so it doesn't matter.
Welcome back!




PS. It's great when the legendary 'Downers of old return.
