MSN Groups closing - cheddar


I have had a email from MSN saying that MSN Groups are closing as of Feb '09, the existing groups including therefore the HJ pics group set up by Lee ...

groups.msn.com/honestjohn

... will move to Multiply though perhaps this would be a good time to set up a new group to enable members to share images etc.

Er, perhaps not then?

How good of you to volunteer... :-)

Sorry Cheddar, i didn't know that the MSN group existed, if the various members are going to transfer over to multiply or similar, i would be pleased to join too.

That should cause some chaos as i try my inept hand at uploading photos.

I kind of feel quite happy to be alive, and she would only counter with a close up of the damage a certain ''professional driver'' ..if only.. had done, but thinking about it, my mate took some close ups of the offending scrape, which i had positioned for maximum visibility..again..i could scan them i suppose and risk life and limb.

Thats the trouble with taking the light hearted mickey, you've got to be so perfect yourself.

I've been allowing my hair to grow a bit longer than normal (grey as a badger mind, are they grey?) and you wouldn't believe the comments and flack at work, all from the baldies who are only growing foreheads..;)

I did that for a while ( also a distinguished metallic silver, very similar pantone reference to Ford's ubiquitous Stardust silver actually, although I prefer to think of it as a bespoke shade )

I was convinced that the long hair gave me a mysterious, artistic, possibly even somewhat avant garde appearance. Had to have it cut when my eight year old was heard to mutter that his dad had started to look like Dumbledore.......

I'd received a message too- will migrate it over when I get a chance (i.e. before Feb!) and post here once it's done.

New home

honestjohn.multiply.com

Doesn't look like the membership has migrated, I think the new site will send out an email. Any problems, give me a shout

Nice one Lee, thanks!

Well done Lee !

Question: When I accept the invitation to join it says that the user Cheddar is already, it is probably that someone else on Multiply is using it though it could be because the MSN group has migrated, any ideas and if the latter how do I find the sign in details?

Thanks.

Hi cheddar

I had to sign up for a new account, so I suspect your first assumption is correct in that someone else already has the nickname cheddar. You could always go for ch3ddar or chedd4r in a web 2.0 styleee

Yes I had same problem and had to use another not so nom de plume:-)

Some of those pics revived some good memories, some not so good.
Tomo's Hortense (is she still with you Tomo??) and RF/AE Laguna looking very sad, just two of many

Happy motoring Phil I

I might be having a thick moment here. Can I use my existing MSN/Hotmail log-in or have I got to create a new account? I have a feeling it's the latter.

hi DD

I think you need to create an account with them. Email me with youR new Id when you get it and I'll try and get you manager/moderator permissions again.

Didn't someone set up a facebook group not long ago? Way simpler than this!
MSN Groups closing - Citroënian {P}
Facebook is probably a bit too modern for most of us to use...and besides, there's only four members on it :)

Tried a few times to register with Multiply, lots of errors, anyone else had probs?

I could set up a Flikr group, part of Yahoo, most people have Yahoo IDs anyway.

Don't need to register to browse (it would appear) but the site seems a bit sticky. Wrong time of day, perhaps. Nice to be reminded of Growler, though...

Hi ch3dd@r

If you like, ask a mod to send me your details and I'll try and register for you.

Flickr/facebook is a good idea, I'd join if someone does the setup
