My first 'addition' to a Mudcat thread was after I'd enjoyed the site for about three months - as a 'punter'. Then one day I wanted to respond to someone's post, but in the 'geordie' vernacular. So I decided to register with a 'geordie' name (not unlike my own!) and efter that it wez aall playun sailin', man! Aah've made some serious friends - some aah've met at mudgathers & festivals, some aah've only met online - but the've aall been a source of fun and inspiration ower the years. Aah divvent get te visit the site like aah used te but when aah dee, they're aall there - and some new uns! Thanks 'catters, it's aalwez a treat!
