Glad to hear he's able to leave hospital after being in so long.

Wasn't it BrianFM who got this forum going? Or maybe I'm getting mixed up a little.

Hello George!

Yes, I'm a bit before every one's time!

I used to be on the old Beeb Forum with Sue, Ruth, Peter and Wendy. There was also a Val there - would this be palval?

Hi, Jennie, I don't think it was me, as I joined the Beeb boards in 2006, most of you before that I believe?
 
Hi Jennie

So pleased to hear that Bill is recovering.

I am not one of the former Beebs board people, but have been an X-beebs member since 2007 on BF, and I remember Bill well - funny how time flies by as it does.

Send Bill my regards if you can :flowers:

Regards
Kathy

Hello Peewit,

Nice to meet you. I did manage to speak to Bill for a few minutes in the hospital, but It was difficult as you can imagine with all the toing and froing of the nursing staff, but I did send all good wishes from his chums on this forum.

Val, I didn't somehow think you were the same Val from the Beeb - just needed to make sure......and I'm very glad you're not!!!!

Sounds ominous!:-O:-O

I was Palval on the Beeb boards as well in those days.
 
No Val,

I left before you joined as things were starting to go badly wrong and there were a lot of changes, not for the better, either.

I wonder if Ruth is still around and a lady who wrote very long essays about her outings - Nina? Strange how names just pop up. Nina used a wheelchair, but she knew all the best birdy places. I remember she said there were Goshawks where she lived, but although she gave me a map my husband couldn't find the place. Pity that.

Hi Everyone!

Great news! I've just had a chat with Bill. He's out of hospital, still a bit weak, but recovering well - and sends his love to all his friends on the Beeb site!

Love, Jennie
 
Hello from another old exbeeber

Hello everybody,
I haven't been on here for quite a while. I was a regular, following on from the actual beeb, coming on with Brian, Bill, Sue, Baz etc. and enjoyed posting regularly until soon after my mother died in 2008. I must have suffered from some kind of mild depression or something because I couldn't bring myself to post anymore. Well, I'm not a real birder, just a garden birder who enjoys seeing what I see when I see it. I remember Bill saying that that's how he started, and although he was so knowledgeable, he never made anyone feel 'out of it' and it was a pleasure to read his posts.
Then I looked in sometimes and caught up with some bits of news, and remember Bill saying about not being able to use the computer. Lately, I haven't seen any of the old 'faces' on here when I have popped on, and have been wondering what has happened to many of them. I did send a birthday or Christmas 'card' to Sue some time ago, but perhaps it was the wrong email address. I am in touch with Judo though.
So it was fortuitous that I decided to look in now and see this question about Bill.
I really do wish him well, and hope to hear good news soon.

Best Wishes from Renée.

Hi Renee

Nice to see you posting on here. I hope all is well with yourself. :gh:

Sorry to hear about losing your mother (if I did not mention it at the time) :flowers:

Yes, the X-Beebs has changed a lot. I used to post a fair bit on this area of the Forum, but now do quite a bit of birding away from my own garden. I write 'birding' reports and add them to the appropriate area of BF for a wider audience to read. :king:

Maybe it is people moving on and doing other things with their lives, becoming more 'seriously' involved with birding, or they are just busy with their lives. That is why members have gone on X-Beebs now.

Hopefully Bill will make an appearance soon, and say his hello's to us sometime.

Regards
Kathy
