So, It's been a while...

Last time I was on here properly was a good few years back, before Freelancer.com took things over and just about when the merger with another forum happened.

So... What have I missed? Which of the old faces (who actually have a clue/memory of who I am) are still knocking about? - Say hi and refresh my memory, I'd like to reminisce of the simpler time ^.^

Hi Dan of Swindon, my name is Shey,

I'm (one of) the new keeper of the herd. Nice to see you here! I definitely have no clue/memory of you but I'd like to say Hi

and looking forward to seeing you around here more!

Huh. Weird. You came to mind the other day when I was rummaging through old graphics I'd done on the hard drive and came across that CALM tortoise you wanted a speech bubble made for.

At my age my memory can't guarantee anything....

Hey Dan!

**Giselle** · 07-19-2011, 11:32 AM

Hi Dan, I remember you, don't know if you remember me, welcome back!!!

**Digital Friend** · 07-19-2011, 11:54 AM

Welcome back Dan!

Hey Dan where have you been hiding.

Or were you simply lost on the "magic" roundabout and couldn't work out which exit to take

**chrishirst** · 07-19-2011, 01:16 PM

And for anybody has no idea what I'm talking about; THIS

is Swindon's "magic" roundabout.

Yikes!

**NullPointer** · 07-19-2011, 02:25 PM

I think I would just pull over, leave my car behind, and walk.

Welcome back Dan

**Jim Gillum** · 07-19-2011, 03:19 PM

That looks like fun......

A drunk could be lost forever......

**dansgalaxy** · 07-19-2011, 05:04 PM

The magic round about is surprisingly easy to navigate, mostly just a case of driving at where you want to go and try not to hit anything :P But the easy cheat way is simply go round the outside of it!

I regret to say my memory is worse than you guys obviously! Seems like a lifetime ago I was here, I vaguely recognise some but it's been a while!

**willcode4beer** · 07-19-2011, 08:19 PM

Hey, welcome back. Long time no see indeed

Place some giant flippers on the south end and play some pinball

**Shey** · 07-19-2011, 10:35 PM

The city of Spokane has put in a few of these roundabouts within the last few years, it was announced the other day they are having more serious accidents then before since they put them, uh-oh......

**chrishirst** · 07-20-2011, 02:28 PM

When Nissan built their plant in Sunderland there were stories of some of the Japanese workers causing traffic jams because they had no idea what a roundabout was or how to drive around them.
