Hi to everyone on ATS, it is so lovely to meet you.

I have been a long time lurker on these boards, for years. However, I have finally decided to join and maybe even contribute a bit to some threads. I have alot of thoughts about this and that, and I often get labelled ' nuts' or ';bonkers' or my personal favourite 'eccentric', if I dare to express my views in public. I have learnt to keep my own counsel, over the years. So you guys on ATS have kept me sane over the years, knowing there are other people who can see through the mass delusions, illusions and madness that is so rampant in the world today, probably always has been.

I am in my 40s, female and I am English. I hope to talk to some of you soon.

welcome!!! hope you enjoy your time here, and don't worry we like the loonies!! but seriously welcome and good luck!!

Hello Helen welcome to ats I'm sure you'll fit right in we're all a little bonkers, damn I love when the brits say bonkers. I watch so many British shows and sitcoms and say things like wanker and brilliant all the time and people where I live think i'm weird.

If you work hard at the nuts and bonkers thing, one day you can do it professionally... just like I do.

Welcome to ATS!

Welcome Helen! We are one big dysfunctional family here. See you out on the boards.

Run......Run quickly while you still have time!
As a lurker you are free to shake your head or laugh but as a member, no such luxuries!

When you get to 20 posts you get the "real" info which means you have to mop the floor, clean your room and dust those old plates aunt Agnes gave your mother that you just cant seem to get rid of!

Being a Lurker is far easier and you don't have chores!

You have been warned!!!

....and welcomed!

wow thank you all for your warm welcome. I really appreciate it and hope that I can contribute positively to the forum. Helen x
