HI everybody,
I’m new here and I thought I should introduce myself accordingly. I have been lurking for a while and was a long time subscriber of both the original magazine and podcast. Now I’ve signed up, although I am not sure if I’ll have a great deal to add.
All the best
Pawsforthought
Please allow me to introduce myself

Hi!
Welcome.
We may be kindred spirits. I am always one of those that goes into social events, takes a glass of champagne (or fizzy whatever) and then stands around either pretending to look for someone I know or examining the carpet.
I’m sure you’ll soon find you feet (or paws) here.
Bugger! We get an edit function and I’m so excited at being the first to comment on a thread that I ignore the 15 minute grace period ticking down and miss my own typo.
“… find your feet…”
Consider yourself duly initiated with that typo @Pajp
Thanks @junior-wells It wasn’t my first and I’m sure that it won’t be my lsat.
Welcome! Always lovely to see new people on here. The more the merrier I say.
Hello! I am also new. (but made the mistake of annoying people by posting my introductory message in French).
Non! Beaucoup d’Afterworders fait beaucoup de chuckles, Monsieur Bing Bang!
And welcome, Monsieur Paws.
Didn’t annoy me.
Welcome Paws.
Bienvenue and er, willkommen.
He fishes, he scores!
I loved the French introduction, but I struggled with the translation. As always if presented with French I reply in Spanish (and vice versa).
Pourquoi? or “paw-quoi”?, even.
I can’t be arsed. Come to the table. Lay your swords at the door and, take your seats…. Meat Canyon.
Pas de tout Bangs. C’était vachement drole.
annoying people – one or possibly two comments. Seem to recall you prompted a rash of non-English contributions. Did pretty well for a first contrib Leicester.
Welcome my friend to the show that never ends.
You do like prog I hope!
Welcome Paws. You don’t have to have anything worth adding. Just pitch in there and start talking bollocks like the rest of us.
Evening, squire.
Hello, I’m not new but my name is.
*waves*
“… although I am not sure if I’ll have a great deal to add”
Nor have I, it doesn’t stop me posting drivel, lame jokes and inane responses.
He is not wrong there 🙂
🖐 waves.
Come on in, Paws. Make yourself comfy.
Welcome Paws! That was a classy touch to introduce yourself with an OP. (I can’t actually remember what it stands for, but it’s the first post on a thread.)
If you’ve lurked a while you’ll already know some of the characters in this soap opera. This place is just like Mumsnet but without the mums.
Have fun!
So…..that would be “net”, then…..what kind of place IS mumsnet, anyway, KFD?
Hi Paws, welcome to the pleasuredome!
Sorry Fitter, I would love to tell you something but they are very secretive.
Mum is the word
Great site if like me you hate the general public and want to know where you can live with minimum interaction bar a diet of roadkill, squirrels and locals/walkers who have wandered far too deep into the forest and are far too fatally close to your bivouac of mainly herbs, fungi, nuts and when necessary occasional cannibalism.
OP = Original Post
Oh. And there was me reluctant to start threads cos I thought people were mocking my Oddlyshaped Penis…
Much better to announce your arrival than your departure. What is the opposite of flounce? Maybe pounce? With your name I believe you’ve just pounced, welcome………..
Welcome Paws, pull up a chair and set a while.
First rule – pay no attention to anyone’s music recommendations but mine.
Second rule – sometimes I am Wrong so be careful with any of my music recommendations.
Apart from obeying Rules 1 & 2, you can spout whatever bollox wanders across the vast empty spaces between your ears (just like the rest of us).
Lovely Elton John T too! One of us!!
[shakes jowls and sniffs new arse in a friendly but non-sexual way … hmm … do I smell progressive rock?]
Welcome Paws, look forward to hearing more from you. But if the header on you OP reflects a liking for the Stones you’d do well to keep that quiet – for some reason which has escaped me received Afterword wisdom seems to place them in a special circle of hell along with Mick Hucknall, U2 and Coldplay. I think this is nonsense, but what do I know….
…”received Afterword wisdom”…isn’t that a so called oxymoron? 🙂
Welcome, Paws!
Nickelback and Spandau Ballet not welcome, either. Ruff.
Surely we argue at what point they stopped being good. @deramdaze in the t-shirt thread was talking Decca catalogue numbers only a few days ago….me I go right up to exile on Main Street
Paws, will you be getting the new Stones box that comes out at the end of this month? There’s a thread about it somewhere on here…
Welcome! Are you in Australia by any chance? In which case twice welcome.
Don’t forget to tell Matron how old you are and what your lunch requirements are.
In the UK, as it goes.
Check one two. Is this on? Afterword blocked at work and been away doing a Masters. It’s good to be back!
Welcome back, beast! And, hello Paws.
Things are looking up.
Welcome Pawsdude, Haretufhead and welcome back Hendergroove.
Do you like free jazz ? I’ll meet you behind the bike shed.
Only if you bring some snout 🙂
Good day and welcome.
Hello there Paws. I’m another long-term subscriber and consumer of the old wordcasts that’s just rejoined the throng here. Like you, not too sure what I can add to the entertainment but maybe some small inspiron will strike me at some point…more likely I’ll just lean back with a large mug of tea and absorb the AW goodness.
Welcome anyhoo!
And a hello to you too. Hope you have fun here
Welcome, paws.
If you’re familiar with the digestive habits of the tapir and enjoy Icelandic chamber jazz, you’ll do well here. Very well.
This thread has unearthed more new or re-joiners than the recent targeted “lurkers” thread did, so well done Paws and welcome back everyone else!
*looks up from concentrating on a re-alphabetising of LPs, but only for the non-compilations or soundtracks*
Hi! Welcome, come on in. Come in! Come in, don’t block the exit! Take a seat…
*waves arm over left shoulder, in general direction of centre of room, indicating large but cluttered sofa, barely visible beneath discarded pizza boxes and crumpled balls of used shrink-wrap*
Hang on a mo’.
*curses under breath*
I knew someone had filed the first, eponymous Mr. Bungle album under ‘B’, I just knew it!! Heathens!
*triumphantly waves said album in the air*
Ok, Ok, look, the kitchen’s over there – through that gap –
*indicates space where kitchen door is, inexplicably, entirely missing*
– and the bathroom’s on the first floor.
*grimaces*
Don’t go in HP’s room, he’s on a furlough somewhere, and no-one’s sure when he’ll re-surface, but other than that make the place your own. Beer’s are in the fridge. Which is in the yard. Don’t ask, no-one knows.
Hey, enjoy the place!
*hurriedly dresses, legs it out of HP’s room*
You use the fridge, VV? Didn’t you know there’s a vast frozen kingdom in the back of every wardrobe?
You can’t trust those fauns. Thirsty buggers.
Welcome Paws and Gonetoearth 🙂 Great to see some newcomers. Anyone else thinking of unlurking, do take the plunge!
Welcome all newcomers. Get stuck in
Hi Paws – welcome onboard.
Hello! If you’re looking for ways of spending money on music-playing devices, I’m your man…
Or looking for explanations of, for instance, half-speed mastering. I can bang on for days.
psssst! new peeps – whatever you do don’t mention oxygen-free copper to fent….damn, too late.
Pawsforthought and Gonetoearth. Great stuff.
Particularly glad about the return of good ole’ Henderbeast.
Hello and welcome!
Hope you’re better at de-lurking and posting lots than I’ve been. Still hoping I’ll get the hang of it eventually.
