it's not pinin'! it's passed on! this forum is no more! it has ceased to be! it's expired and gone to meet its maker! it's a stiff! bereft of life, it rests in peace! it's pushing up the daisies! its metabolic processes are now 'istory! it's off the twig! it's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-FORUM!!
