Answer 1

Saying "Thank you " is almost a week response , I wish that

I was able to convey the depth of emotion which grips me when reading all the

congratulatory remarks , but it is more than that , much much more. I have been

here for over two years and in all that time I have come to know and love each and

every one of the members , from my part there has never been a bad word or even

a misunderstanding between us . There were a couple of messy -moments between

Heidi and I but what do you expect when two free thinkers and strong personalities

lock horns , it never stopped us from remaining good friends and we will always be very

close . Therefore from the bottom of my emotional heart which is now bursting

with the joy of your love .Thank you all I hope we may all of us travel together on this

beautiful Spanish journey together . Ray Anthony.

• Bien dicho, Ray. - xocoyote Feb 16, 2012

Answer 7

At first Ray, always polite, wanted to wear all his badges, so that his friends did not feel slighted. That's when he sought some advice on the best way to pin them on.

Soon enough, however, Ray had more than he could wear, no matter how he stacked them, so he got some buddies to help him:

Alas, he got so many that even that was getting ridiculous. He finally had to give up on his idea of wearing all the badges and strutting around with them, and had to hire some permanent space to display them.

We'll do our best to go visit your museum, Ray. Each and every badge has been well and rightly won!

Cheers, mate!

• Gekkosan my friend , always the master of the "understatement" , I shall endeavour to be a little less conspicuous , but it is not easy when one is as timid and retiring as me , maybe I shall just wheel them around in a barrow. - ray76 Feb 6, 2012
• Timid!! *choke-choke*!! That's a good one! :-) - Gekkosan Feb 6, 2012
