Hello everyone.
I feel that there comes a time when it’s right to reach an end point with certain things in life and that with the forum in mind, I have reached that point.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a frequent poster on the forum and quite honestly, I do not regret a single moment of my time here.
However, I feel that I have reached a logical point in my involvement with the forum, which causes me to want to take an indefinite break from posting and interacting.
I want to take this opportunity to thank literally EVERYONE with whom I have ever had any kind of interaction on the forum, whether it be positive or negative, none of which I would have swapped for the world. I consider my time here, a huge learning curve and certainly one which I have needed to experience.
I can not thank everyone by name but particular people who come to mind (in no particular order) are:
: @BigJock21 You and I have had some giggles on here and our ‘variations’ theme was, for me, utterly hilarious! We have had a fair few other chats which have meant so much to me as well.
@Just_In You have helped me behind the scenes with naming people, on a couple of occasions. You have also shown me immense kindness by simply pointing out the presence of certain participants / guests you knew I would appreciate watching, when maybe I haven’t known they were on camera at various given times. I truly appreciate this.
@robwin Our exchanges have been hilarious at times and I have loved them. Other times have been a little more serious, between us. Thank you for being there when it has mattered most!
@stanley You are awesome! Your public comments have been greatly appreciated as you seem to have a way with words that just make perfect sense to me personally. You and I have chatted VERY frequently in private and this has meant more to me than you might realise.
@John78 You have been exceptionally kind to me, countless times and I sincerely appreciate it.
@shyguy We may not have always shared the same opinion on things but you have always been someone with whom I have known I could have a sensible conversation. Yes we have challenged each other’s thinking at times and I am glad we did. Thank you for giving me the chance to do that, with you.
@jabbath1987 You have always been a huge part of this forum and we have had a number of discussions and exchanges, on all sorts of subjects. I appreciate the chance to have done so with you.
@Albion You have caused absolute hilarity with your fantastic and quite unique way of wording things, at various times and I genuinely appreciate you for it!
Finally, a HUGE thank you must go to @VHTV_James for creating this forum in the first place. Without it, none of us would be here of course and we would be unable to express ourselves in the way we have done and continue to do.
I know I am likely to have missed out a quite a few people but to those whom I have missed, I appreciate you exactly the same way as those mentioned above.
I wish each and every person who posts on this forum, nothing but happiness and success in life.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
