The site has been up & running four weeks today :D
It's surprising what can happen in a short space of time, here's to it's getting older & a lot wiser in the coming months ahead.

It's funny how your mind plays tricks with you?

I had a few suggestions for names for the forum.
Kenny, "Twisting Times"
Dave, "A New Twist"
Cathy Malcolm, "Hot Air"
Neil, "Tongue Twister" & "Hot Air"
Craig, "Graham Lee Balloon Forum" & "glbf.co.uk"
& Carl who has just joined sent in;
"Balloon Attic"
"Bubble & Speak"
"Tie & Tie Again"
"Twister"
"Get Knotted"
Which was the original name for my balloon company before I decided on Balloon Art Design.
"Tongue Tied"
"Twist & Shout"
"Pinch Twist & Talk"
"Semper Text"
and the last one......wait for it
"The Chat Balloon"

I was on the phone one morning to a friend talking about what to name the forum, I was reluctant to call it anything that Joe Public would not understand,
Semper Text was great but only a select few would get it. The same with twisting times, pinch twist & talk etc so for me it had to have the word
balloon in and so we changed "The Chat Balloon" around and came up with "Balloon Chat".
I believe I spoke with Carl to say that I'd better sort something out with him as if he hadn't sent in "The Chat Balloon" we might not have come
up with "Balloon Chat" Life is strange.

When Craig sent in the above post I thought he was joking at first but looking back he did send in on the same day, but later on in the day two more suggestions, "The Balloon Café" and "Balloon Chat"
So what I'd better do is offer both Carl & Craig a top of the range prize of possibly coming along to a  normal Care & Share day free of charge,

but that seems not a great prize.
So what would be a really great prize, suggestions on a postcard.
But please remember it comes out of my pocket.
