Default Signatures

I enjoy reading other peoples signatures and change mine very occasionally. As an experiment I have changed mine about 40 times in less than a fortnight to see if anybody picked up on it, sometimes several times a night. Other than a response from Peter nobody seems to have noticed.

Do you look at peoples?

By the way, the one at present is in no way aimed at our resident google Queen, "the google it" is so anybody who is interested could see the whole poem.

I had noticed it changing frequently but to be honest wasn't sure if you maybe always changed it as I notice your avatar changes fairly regularly.

I usually have a quick glance at signatures but admit to mine being a little boring - can't think of anything better just now though - sorry folks!

I didnt want a respone, I was just curious if other people actually read them, or if I was just the anorak.

I noticed and enjoyed them Piglet. And yes, I always read the signatures. And I look at the Avatars as well ! I see you've changed yours again.

Yes PW, I had noticed! I haven't changed mine because I still like it after all this time and think we could all be happier if we took time and appreciated the small things in life. DDL

Dear PW, of course I noticed, but decided early on that perhaps your love life was not meeting your expectations, and maybe you were going through some marital problems, so I didn't like to comment!

I like mine, it sums up life for me.

Madderbat, Mrs P is nicely settled at home thank you. I just wondered if any body looked at them or tried to translate the foreign language ones out of interest.

So glad to hear it dear boy, but some of them seemed melancholy - or was that just my perception? Sometimes our own position on the greasy pole of life colours our understanding.

I have loved reading your signatures Piglet. You must carry on changing them.

Incase you are all wondering the Google Queen hasn't googled the latest signature because I already own the book!
