Just saying Hi
Hi everyone I've been away for a long time (no not clink) I let my membership slide but today restarted it. This forum gives me a little bit of escapism I am not very well I was bitten by a spider back in 2012 (no I was not on holiday) it happened a couple of miles from where I live. Because of a (dare I say) a prick of a so called doctor (he mis-diagnosed) I have been left with an incurable illness. It's called Rapidly Progressive Disabling Axomol Neuropathy in simple terms my nervous system is closing down. It has lead to further complications... but I do not let it get me down because I have always said "someone somewhere is worse than I am". I rejoined so I can read about what others are getting up to and of course read your jokes some are brilliant. Thanks for making my day brighter. Doc.
Hi Doc, don't think we have ever chatted personally but welcome back. Sorry to hear of your medical problem but we are all here for each other. Take care of yourself, Kim.
Hi Doc,
Just checked your profile and certainly remember you and it's nice to see you back. It's what we called a b*st*rd way back with things like you've mentioned. I hope you squashed the spider for it's impudence and it's a shame you can't do the same with the doctor. Anyway I hope you can join in with a few posts because of late the site has lost so many members since it changed the format. I think some of us just stay on because we can't think of anything else to do 'cos we've been on here so long. We also lost a lot of posters because of a few idiots always causing trouble but thankfully they have all disappeared. Mainly it was three people - one packed in, one died and we got the other one kicked off.
That's enough for now but let's keep in touch.

Erm, sorry to perpetuate the G.O.M. persona but it was 'Syd' Smith - spelled like your very own moniker Mon Ami. Ah dear old Sheila - what a character and what a lovely lady who I met three times at the reunion dos. I still miss her like mad. Wasn't it Dave Haslam out in British Columbia? He's just resurfaced and we are in contact by PMs at present. I'm hoping he's going to come back on the Forums.

I can't recall it clearly either Syd - memory for names is going fast but this lad I think mentioned British Columbia at some point. I do remember the photo you're talking about but not the face or name. Sign of the times I suppose.
Why do I suddenly feel so thirsty?

I'll have yours when you've finished with it provided its had a fresh upgrade.
