There have been many lovely things said about the community over the years, some from you as well @jonsie We couldn't list everyone here so I only tagged members who provided the most recent quotes we picked up, but as with all our regular members it wouldn't be the same without you.

Sorely wounded but hey ho, yes I enjoy being part of the community and I'm happy to have that group of friends who helped me and continue to help me outside the community. What we are missing is a get together in Oswaldtwistle.

Everyone bring a paintbrush and a barbecue 😉😂

WOT? No beer ......??

Re: 5 Reasons to Belong to the O2 Community

jonsie — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:08:56 GMT

Oh yeah, beer and a t-bone steak!

Re: 5 Reasons to Belong to the O2 Community

Marjo — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:26:14 GMT

Steak sounds great. Ice cream too if the weather continues like this!

Some of that seems familiar. Anyway with wild whippers and barbeques on the go, I'm all perplexed and don't know what to do.

Well, in addition to my concern for @jonsie being left out I should also add how happy I am to have made the decision to become a member. It will be 2 years on 22nd August since I joined and it was one of the best decisions I've made. I've learned so much, have made some good forum friends, had many a laugh, and, most importantly, helped some people along the way.

Glory1 — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 18:06:00 GMT

Oh I almost forgot, @Cleoriff with a whip, T-bone steaks, beer (I'll bring the Baccardi and cokes), not to mention ice cream well I'm in 🤩

Re: 5 Reasons to Belong to the O2 Community

Cleoriff — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 18:28:42 GMT

I love being here. Whether it's helping, having a laugh or chatting to good friends I've made.

The quicker you go Off-Topic, the more time you have left to drag it back on track...

What I saw of it, looked like a cat suit, a cat o nine tails and thigh length boots. . .

Maybe if I hold the phone upside-down...?

So, in an attempt to drag this kicking and screaming back on topic, and even though there has been no edit to mention @jonsie, this has really evolved into a community rather than just a mobile forum. We still incorporate the O2 phone help but now it's quite a fun place to be. No one takes offence (apart from no mention of @jonsie !!!!) and we all seem to have the same sense of humour and so much in common with our views and interests. I feel the need to be a part of it if only to share my intelligence, my common sense and to show new members that one of us is normal
