Can't remember the exact date I first joined up but I remember it was in the week leading up to our 0-0 home draw with Burton! The birth of CH being one rare high point in a thoroughly grim season! It was around February 2011, that's all I know for sure, matey.

January 30th 2011. It was my brother in laws 40th birthday! I was in a rented apartment in Bristol when I signed up!

Yes - that's the date, Duds. I migrated across around then, as the BBC's 606 ship was sinking.
Just ahead, too, of the 10-year anniversary of my Dad's passing in February - which, at the time, was the main impetus for me to get more heavily involved in writing on here, as a kind of bereavement therapy.
It's worked, by the way! And led to some great friendships on here, as well as good things, work-wise, for me beyond the forum. I owe CH more than I can ever repay.

Cheers, Duds!
Well said, Maccy. Sheff's idea really paid off and it's good to know that CH helped you through that very difficult time, matey.

Cheers, Gazz-man.
Wonder if there is any way of getting Sheff back online briefly after the turn of the year, so that he can join in any birthday celebrations? Sandy may still be in contact with him...

Will mention the idea separately to Sandy, in case he misses it on this thread.

Writing to your MP, It's great for relieving high blood pressure. Workington recently elected its first Tory since 1970 and he wrote to me today telling me all about his pre-election promise to work for the benefit of us all. There, that's nice isn't it? He wants to know my opinions on which local services should be improved, bless him!
I've written back asking him what he thinks have been the effects of the £237 million cut by his party from Cumbria County Council's budget since 2010. I've asked him what he thinks has been the effect on local crime rates of cutting the County's proportion of the 20 000 Police Officers lost nationally since the same date and I'm breathless as I await to hear how he justifies leaving the EU to local farmers about to lose access to the Common Agricultural Policy.
I don't expect a response since as a former UKIP member his acquaintance with the truth is likely to be as accidental as his new party leader's but hope springs eternal as they say.

Teaching in Spain.
My summer holidays have started! I have ten weeks to chill out and enjoy my new country, I am going on a little road trip tomorrow ( Tarifa, Cadiz, Huelva and Portimao) with a couple of colleagues and have plans for another trip to northern Spain in a month or so - if we don't kill each other on this one!
Adios amigos!

Have a good time, Duds! Hope you have a good time and if you happen upon a Cadiz CF scarf I'll trade you for a slightly older and more battered Cadiz scarf....that's a good trade, right?
