I am trying to remember who it was that said the following, or where did I read it? It goes something like this; "I want you to live for 100 years, and if you do, I want to live for 100 years minus 1 day, because I don't want to live without you". It's really bugging me, but I guess somebody out there will say ah yes, it was.....thanks poe friends!

Brilliant Sue! Yes, it was Winnie the Pooh...you know thats been bugging me for days. Funny how you get something keep niggling at you, stays in the back of your head, on the tip of your tongue but you can't quite get there.

I felt sure there would be a poe member out there with the answer. What a great website this is; made up of course of the ever supporting, ever growing membership. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hello again Sue

I'm not one for using abbreviations normally, especially so when it comes to texting say 'cul8r' for example. To me it will always be 'see you later' but the fact is that 'poe' has already been used by Chris and Sarah; the owners, and so I guess it stuck.

Perhaps we should try to get the membership to add a little bit to it, to make a slogan that represents what the site is all about, for example:

If you dont know ask poe, wherever you go take poe, England pics are poe!

Not particularly good examples, but off the tip of my tongue so to speak, so lets hope the poe members pick up on it and lets see what happens.

Incidentally, your initial response time to my question was fantastic. Posted at 10:11 and you answered by 01:07 - Now that is what you call fast, long live poe!!

Well, there you go (with poe) of course, its got you thinking, and I bet you are now wandering about the house or the office thinking what other comment can I come up with! Wonder what others are thinking?

C'mon poe members, who will be the one to get Sarah and Chris to 'adopt' a meaningful slogan?
