How I Came Here
I came here to this forum originally as a guest. I was researching into the origin of dicing on bonnets and trying to see if the legend of "Dicing pledges allegiance to the crown." was true. I then joined the forum so I could join in on the current dicing thread, because the one I looked at as a guest was an old one that was from like 2014 or something like that. After that forum sort of stopped being updated and people lost interest, I stayed and took part in other discussions. I'm glad I did. I now love this forum and the members, well, the ones I have met on this forum. Some people are inactive and others I hardly ever speak to. I am happy that I am a part of this forum and this community and I will stay here permanently, at least for a very long time.
I love you all.
To the members I like and greatly respect; McMurdo, Father Bill, Steve Ashton, Jock Scott, Tokareva, OC Richard, Mike S, John Carrick and anyone I left out. Thank you very much for your conversations and your points of view, it is greatly appreciated.
With love.

Welcome from a fellow Glaswegian now living in the English midlands. (I feel I have not contributed a lot to this forum, but I do learn a lot from it.)

Thank you for the kind words Patrick, this forum is a kind of home on the net for many of us, even though I have had my issues in the past with the place I always come back. It is good to have you here.

"Hat-tip" or a "tip of the hat" - recognition, acknowledgement.

Don't feel bad about not recognizing some of the lingo we old-timers (age and experiences) use. There were times when older sayings passed over us. Thanks for the nod (the same as Father Bill's remark).
