Nice one Griff,                                                                                                                                                                               

  i get mixed up with all these i, ie, and y on the end of names why can't they all be the same and make life simple   Because...*Sandy with a Y is the masculine version, Sandie is the feminine version and mine is that without the E and I've spelled it that way since I was 11 years old, (before Sandi Toksvig became well known lol) so nope, can't change the spelling lol   Anyway Bill how difficult can it be?, my name is my member name and is situated above my pic on every post     *Derivitive of the Scottish names Alexander (masculine) and Alexandra (feminine)   Here endeth the lesson, Amen

  RC said    Give it up for Jimi Griffin.. aka used to be Griffinator on this site... He will likely murder me for this but I don't care.. THIS is what epitomises Biking for me... Today Jimi spent an hour in the freezing cold with a paraplegic biker.. these are his words...   "because mr barry who was disabled was on his own broken down on his bike in the freezing conditions for well over an hour i stopped with him but couldnt help other than keep his spirits up while waiting for his insurence firm (carol nash) to sort out recovery for him i heard him say he was a paraplegic and still the wait was horrendous i stayed till the recovery van came so happy he got home... it was bloodly freezing out there and it's not as if he could get up and walk about..."                                                                                                                                                                               

still confused

No i, e, or y.
