Definitely not, this one's for keeps. Been married, divorced, lived together - done it all as they say and decided i'm getting too old to do all that again (only just into my 4th decade) and he cooks my dinner and washes and irons for me as well. Before anyone asks - sadly he has no brothers LOL

Total neewbie this is my first ever posting on any site.
I chose the name of my dog "kitch" the 59 comes from my birth year.
He was called kitch because when we got him he refused to come out of the kitchen for 2 weeks, so kitch was born
Just Gardners at the moment from Birmingham & Oxford

Flipster.  A nickname I was given by some work colleagues years ago..

Taken from my real name down to Flipper (yeh, like the dolphin!), then shortened to Flip and then one of my team started Flipster.  Its just stuck!

Sad really

I was christened Christopher and am known by my Christian name on several other genealogy sites. It seemed a logical way to get my name known as someone who has an interest in genealogy research.

As it could be :

Mr Al,
Mrs Al or
Al & Al

(nb. both born on the same day - which means we never forget each others Birthdays !), and you will never know who you are corresponding with !!

Happy hunting,

Al & Al
