Well Matt won - and I must say I am surprised - I thought that the band would win with a teen following - and Rebecca would do well because of the home town vote (Liverpool being larger than the town Matt comes from).

For me it was a really close call between Matt and Rebecca - so am really pleased they were the final 2.

I have voted Matt all the way through though.

Thank you

Well I think both Rebecca and Matt have superb voices - but think it likely the boy band will win......

I agree about Rebecca - she has improved her posture etc - but still looks very nervous

Evening all

It reminded me I meant to pop in more often - and I haven't been doing.

Looks like you've all been building extensions and doing some decorating

And yes - I keep accidentally posting with my selling id these days - as now I am a great grand powerseller again I go on the PS board - then forget to change ids......


Nice to see you're all still here.

I am still boringly vaping my super-mini - ie the e-cig I started with over 2 years ago......

Ok - stranger returns - to say.............

Hello everyone - glad to see you are all still here - and it is now the second anniversary today - of me buying my first e-cig.

So I am a week away from 2 years of using it.

So I guess Scylla and others must be there and thereabouts too!!!



Sorry to have been such a stranger - lots going on all around me - I shall try to visit more often (honestly).

I'm in Newcastle Upon Snow Tyne

and it's snowing (for a change)

Ok - this is posted in the proboards news section - and may be useful for everyone:

Problem Ads posted 6/1/10

Dear ProBoards members:

Due to an increase in problems from some ad networks, we have disabled every ad network except for Google for the time being. This should alleviate any problems you were having with your forums related to the ads.

Once we feel that the situation is sorted out we will re-enable the other networks.

Thank you for using ProBoards.

And here is the message before the one above - explaining the problems and importantly - how to report rogue ads.

Ad Quality - Reporting Tool

ProBoards is committed to providing the highest quality service with the least intrusive advertising of any free forum host. We know that you don't like ads that play audio, cause popup windows, or expand across the page without you taking any action -- and we don't like them or allow them.

Recently we have had a couple issues with advertisements being displayed on forums that violate our rules. In order to effectively stop these types of ads, we have added a new tool for you to report inappropriate ads on your forum.

If while browsing your forum you see an advertisement that violates our rules, you can report it by pressing CTRL + ALT + R on your keyboard. This will bring up a "Report Advertisement Problem" page where you can submit your complaint directly to ProBoards for us to investigate. It will send us key information about the ad so that we can effectively identify it and block it.

With your help, we can make ProBoards a better place for everyone. Thank you for using ProBoards!
