Meeting Room

[Linsey Robinson]

This is a place to introduce yourself and find people with things in common.

A chance to let people know more about yourself and what you like to do as hobbies.

To share ideas.

To ask questions.

[Linsey Robinson]

I've been working for the Grantham Journal as their website administrator for just over a year.
I look after eight Lincolnshire Newspaper websites, designing and uploading adverts, looking after the sites, designing and maintaining micro-sites plus lots more!
I decided Grantham needed a network site where people, not only in Grantham but everywhere, could interact with one another.
So after doing a lot of research I found the perfect platform to let me do this and JournalWorld was born!

I hope you enjoy this new meeting room......

All the best,
Linsey

[John Pennington]

Hello all.
I was born and brought up in Somerset before going to university in the Midlands and moving to Grantham just under two years ago.
I work for Cricket World®, which publishes a quarterly magazine and cricketworld.com, through which we broadcast Cricket World Radio which keeps me busy.
When I'm not working, I play hockey, go swimming, play the odd game of tennis, and play the bass guitar.

Hi, I'm Alison and I have an Abba song stuck in my head! *argghhhh*

I don't have a job at the moment and tbh I could really do with something to keep my mind occupied but I have anxiety problems which makes it difficult for me to be out and about. I would love to find something that would expand my horizons a bit and let me meet people because I have quite a lonley life. But this isn't a pity post, so lets see what else I can say about me.

Well I surf the net way too much, I like cooking and I've recently taken up knitting because I'm about to be an Aunt (most likely later on today! *is excited*). I've become addicted to playing Scramble on Facebook in the last few days. (I dreamt about it last night which definitely means I play too much. It's like when you play Sims and then dream that you are one of them, complete with green diamond lifeforce thingy lol.)

As you can see, I tend to ramble!

I also love listening to music and playing around making icons in paint shop pro even though I'm not very good.

I'm quite logical and practical and believe in fairness and equality, but I wish I was more creative, emotional and spiritual.

The last thing I ate was a chocolate digestive biscuit. It was yummy. You should eat one too. You know you want too...

Oh I have been going round in circles trying to reply to Alisons discussion - too many boxes to click and I am the sort of person who clicks whatever shows up and I have to learn to stop this or one day I will click something nasty!

Well I am always eating chocolate digestives when I am feeling low but it has to be dark chocolate which is better for lifting the spirits than ermmmm milk chocolate I suppose for reasons I have forgotten. Its always nice to have a scientific reason for bad habits but it doesnt absolve me from the responsibility of doing something about it - in the case of these biscuits I intend to do nothing about it anyway - keep chomping Alison!!!!

I get songs stuck in my head (not Abba though) for days on end and the only way to remove the offending music is to go and listen to something else more pleasant - I wake up to a favourite CD so what is in my head that day is something I like. But I have weird musical tastes anyway. Its usually something about somebody else feeling like I am feeling - called empathetic music I think - but its supposed to make you feel the opposite way so miserable music makes you cheerful - does make sense or is it insanity?. So in fact others might hate what's in my heads (I mean head) - in fact better to leave my heads out of this altogether!!!

Best of luck Alison I think your doing great

I don't think you scared them away.......I reckon they are trying to think of something interesting to say about themselves!
I'm going home to play on my new Wii, some tennis maybe, a jog around the island and maybe even some yoga.....ahhh the joys of staying home!
Maybe one day I'll actually do them for real?!

[Robert Lincoln]

Thanks Linsey for the nice attribution in the current Grantham Journal, greatly appreciated and so is your site, its so versatile and easy to publish a blog there. I am a published author (not under this pen-name!) living in Barrowby, a village with a number of published and un-published writers living there for some mysterious reason? Maybe an article on that strange fact sometime, what do you think?

[Steve Cattell]

Hi all. You may know my name from my letters to The Journal (and the Daily/Sunday Telegraph). Yes I am one of those with nothing better to do. I was medically retired in 1997 after a car crash and yes, I do spend a lot of time on the computer - surfing, chatting, observing. I am a Governor of GCHS, webmaster of the RAF Police Association Website (rafpa.com) and spend the rest of my time watching TV and cross stitching. I am also on Facebook, Bebo and MySpace and love to chat with anyone.

The picture was taken at a wildlife park in South Africa called Aquilla. The cubs were in a cage but people could go into it and get closer but I couldn't with the wheelchair so the ranger bought this one out and plonked it onto me. It's tongue was very rough as he licked me and loved chewing the front of my jacket. Apparently there is no danger providing you don't show fear or weakness - they know their place but my aged mother in law went into the cage and one nearly got her with a swift paw movement.

Do I want to know how you came to be petting a lion, Steve? Isn't that a bit dangerous?!

[Ian]

Hello everyone.

I just thought I would introduce myself.

I am essentially a loner with a dog who loves music and art. Because of my illness (epilepsy) I am forced to remain un-employed for the remainder of my years and so to keep my sanity I develop music on the PC (or at least I try to anyway "giggle") and expand my art to the PC in the form of 3d work etc (of which i use several alternate programs).

Due to un-employment I never go out on the town, though I have to confess I don't regret it because I hate todays music format... I'm really a classical man with a love for the piano (of which I do actually play).

Other than this I can't really think of anything else to say or note so again... Hello everyone.
