Hey! I didn't notice this before!

[Queen Nerd]

Heyyy... I spose I should've wrote this on the first day I was here instead of the ninth, but whatever, it's the first time I noticed this bit so it counts... moving on...

I'm Lauren/Wren/Lorena, online Queen Nerd or Bird Guhrl depending on how the mood takes me.

I live in a pretty little English spa town where old people come to die.

I love any and all writing except my own, which I'm still working up the courage to post... I can take criticism, but not as much as my stuff deserves, hehe.

So.... hello.

Heehee, aren't welcome forums grand?

I'm Areida, but you can call me Ari if you like (pretty much everyone does). I've seen you around and seems like you fit in just fine. But if you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to PM me; I'm here all the time.

I live in a pretty little English spa town where old people come to die.

And where they make water to put in bottles!

Insofar as you can make water, that is.

Bob--you know Malvern..?

QueenNerd/Lauren--I think I've already sorta welcomed you, but I just saw this so.. welcome again!! ;D

[backgroundbob]

Home of the famous Malvern Spa, I believe, and Malvern water by association with healthy liquidness! My friend used to drink that stuff all the time; not sure why, Manchester water is some of the nicest tap stuff around.

And my brain recalls that there was some important point about WWI or II to do with Malvern, but I can't think exactly what right now.

[KayJuran]

Wow.. you're one of the few people who doesn't live in/near Malvern and still knows about it!

I don't know if you've ever heard of the Water Cure, but that was in Malvern. It's probably also the reason for the bottled water..

Of course, there're the Malvern Hills as well. These act as the Hereford/Worcestershire border.

As for the WW connection.. I'm not entirely sure on that one, but we do have QinetiQ which used to be Dera and then something else before that. That could easily have been a military base. Then, someone did say to me that they've heard of a nuclear shelter underneath the hills as well.. apart from that I'm not sure.. You never know, maybe you can help me out with that.

That's the one! They developed the Radar there, if I'm not mistaken.

[KayJuran]

Yep, they did! Wow, how do you know so much stuff about Malvern? If I didn't know any better I'd start thinking you lived there or something.

[tassen]

One misses so much not living in England. But even still... I like the 100% insanity offered by the good ol' USA.

[KayJuran]

Did you used to live in England then, Tassen? Wherabouts?

QueenNerd--You sure have an interesting thread..

[Queen Nerd]

Why thank you.... pity it only got interesting in my absence!

[Bjorn]

Yo! I'm sorry I don't know English geography too well, otherwise I'd join in too...So I think a welcome and hello will do ^^;;
