It seems he made a grand entrance, then tripped over his cape and skulked off in embarrassment. We'll have to remember to ask new members to check their capes at the door in the future. :-p

Proclaiming love is one thing, but actually offering him the fish, right here in public...? I hope the kids are asleep. :devil:
See? I am special. I get a fish and not something else that would be erm... less fishy or have erm... fewer fishy intentions about it. :smile:

I :!) The Bob. Here, have another fish. :shy:
I love you too in a caring way (remember I still am Jimmyp's PF brother). You just seemed a little down from missing a thread but now you are right back in here, bouncing away. Go Evo. :biggrin:
