@very-rusty saidI think so too, VR. That's the way we have to think. I wonder if Stees will tell us more about his new boat... I'm so curious. Hope he sticks around this afternoon.
I believe your guys kept your cases low if I am not mistaken. So many must have been sticking to the rules which were put in place. I am sure everything will be just fine!

@torunn saidI am sure he will want to stick as much time as he can on it while the weather permits.

@very-rusty saidNo, nothing wrong, but I regretted involving his family. He didn't mention his family and so I shouldn't either.
I don't know why your removed post your stuck in there then removed, saw nothing wrong with it?

@torunnI never visited this thread before. RHP is like a big mansion with loads of rooms you can stumble into. I might stick around if I am not intruding, it seems a nice quiet back water. For some reason it reminds me of the first time I visited France and saw towns and villages with narrow streets and eccentric little gargoyles sticking out of buildings and such like. Old squares and markets. It made me wonder why so much of England seems to have been replaced with concrete estates and flats in the 60s.

@petewxyz saidNice to see you here, Peter. This is a quiet place, not much happening and so it is of less interest to most players.

What we saw in Sweden with demolition of city buildings and culture in the 60's is being repeated now, and I can't believe it is even legal. Not only do they take buildings down and replace with others, they manage to squeeze in two or more instead of one, and nowhere is safe.
But this is STG and it remains the same, stuck in tradition. 🙂

@torunn saidHi, nice to meet you here too. These things are so important because they are more than the logical mind can comprehend. Logically characterless buildings are perfect because they have all the amenities required for life, but they don't feel like houses or like homes. I think that is why films like Harry Potter create the illusion of magic just from old higgledy piggledy houses in a street. Perhaps that has something to do with wanting a thread with no logical purpose?

@petewxyz saidIt's like meeting friends without any purpose other than keeping in touch. There is nothing here to upset us, we seldom disagree. Instead of focusing on differences, we stick to similarities, and by and by we get a little closer..

@torunn saidYes, I like it when I walk down the road and different people I know will nod and say hello. In the virtual world you don't just bump into people unless there are threads for that. We'll have to dream up another thread where people just see each other in passing. The going for a stroll thread!

@petewxyz saidWelcome Pete,
I never visited this thread before. RHP is like a big mansion with loads of rooms you can stumble into. I might stick around if I am not intruding, it seems a nice quiet back water.

A little background for you. It was started by the original poster (OP) as a game he thought back then would never last intended to keep the thread on top of the first page. Also a quiet place where people could go to get away from all the crap that goes on in the other threads. We try to keep the thread non-combative and I always like to stick in a stuck, sticky, or stick in about every post I make. After all it is the Sticky Thread Game. 😉

@torunn saidI see, I don't think GBS would have minded you sticking that in as it wasn't any thing bad about his family. I guess some could have looked at it differently though.

@petewxyz saidWell I looked for it but noted that, as of yet, you've not stuck it in. I awaited, with bated breath. BTW, welcome to the little corner of the GF where few people seem to visit. As Torunn has said, I paraphrase, no conflicts here. It's kinda like the premise of the TV show, Seinfeld, a thread about nothing. 😉

@great-big-stees saidThat's right, Stees - a bit like Seinfeld. 🙂
