Anyone here from Abetalk?

It was a long time ago.
Things got a bit out of hand.
"Rodney" who ran it shut it down.
It'd be a buzz to find some Abetalkers have found their way here!

OMG. If this isn't a wink from the Universe I don't know what is. Hi Leah, it's Dawn. I've been lurking here for a bit and I saw this post. I still see (in my mind) the picture of you in a room full of reporters with that smoke in your mouth on a manual (?) typewriter.

Oh Dawn, I remember you too, and a pic you posted where I think you were halfway up a mountain or something!

This forum seems rather slow in comparison to the Old Days.

Yes, they were manual typewriters in that newsroom. xx

Who else?

Sierra. I see she's still making the most of life among the dolphins at Drake Bay.
Mariposa. Last heard of settled in Canada with Marcin and two or three small dogs.
Adal in Mexico. He used to call me mami. Aaaaah!
Crane, the writer.
Cigi, never shy of speaking her mind.
Mury He was a scallywag, wasn't he!
Skibbington von Skubber. He was another one who always called it like he saw it. Yowzer!

There are others... I can see their faces in my mind... but names? No.
I remember making a poster of us all. I'll see if I can retrieve it and post it here.

Couldn't find the poster, hardly surprising as I've had several PCs since then. However, I found a shot of my computer screen when the poster happened to be on it.

Now I discover I can't upload a picture anyway.

If you are in touch with any other Abers who would enjoy the forum - it would be lovely to bring them here to liven up the place

Thanks for that, admin.

Spiritualcookie, I've lost touch with other Abetalkers. Dawn may know more of them.

Shame about the coffee cup on my desk

but luckily Dawn and I are both visible.
