I was thinking tonight about what Ian and Dave had said recently about not enough members posting.
Then my thoughts turned to those who used to post quite regularly, but now we don't hear from.
I would be interested to know why the likes of..
BLONGB
PADDY
QUIGGS
CURLY CAP
JASON W
MR FALAFEL
..don't post much (if anything) these days.
If you are looking in guys, it would be nice to hear from you, or maybe a little feedback as to what kept you away?
-
Waggaloff is another one and he seems to have also deleted his account as well as all his posts and his excellent photographs.
-
Apparently, Waffagolf was only a Guest and that is why I could not find him.
-
Waffagolf decided to leave the Forum (I'm still not quite sure why), but all of his posts and excellent photos are still in place.
-
Just today I was about to add the name PENDRAGON to this thread, and then she pops up! Bless her...
So, instead... I shall add the name of our most venerable moderator, IAN, to the missing persons list.
-
Don't put me on the list, I'm still around, just been very busy selling a car and buying another classic car miles away and of course looking after feathered friends D) can we get the Scum thread going again? I was enjoying that! WWW
-
Hi Fester (and all....) Sorry only just seen your post from early August!
Yes I have been missing and just haven't had time to post ! My life revolves around the school hols so I'm back now ! (It was nice to be missed though !!!)
Although I don't post too often, I do tend to just browse as a guest to keep up with things.
I've actually recruited a new member too ! So hope I get a few Brownie points for that ! ;D
-
Sorry for not posting recently I think I'm bored stupid at the moment there's lots of things I could be doing but can't get motivated to do any of them. The weather is dreadful so I don't even want to go for a walk......................basically I'm a miserable bint at the moment folks. However Llinos (little Sis) and I are going for a long walk on Thursday up to Aber to see the Medieval (?) huts they've uncovered then over to Llanfair mountain to see if we can see any remains of habitation from Braich Y Dinas. I'd love to know more about the landscape and I find Braich Y Dinas fascinating. ;D
-
Hey Miserable Bint... Mrs Fester was wondering where you had got to, and would very much like to join you and little sis, on any walks you are planning.
Failing that, she will just get drunk with you?
-
Mr Falafel won't be with you for a good while, I'm afraid.

Just wondering...how do you know its the same person?
-
If you send me a PM or email I will provide you with proof.
To be honest, I could not believe it myself at first - but further searching on google and with mutual contacts confirmed it to me.
-
I've just read the news story &shake& Victims of abuse can begin the road to normality when these perpetrators are bought to justice and jailed. The worst thing as a victim is the guilt and the bottling it up but once out in the open the issue becomes a lot easier to talk about and deal with. I do hope the lads in question are alright.
-
In a way a bit irrelevant as he isn't going to be around for quite a while, but I thought it only right that the user 'Mr Falafel' be banned from the Forum.
-
So it's definitely true then. I agree he should be banned.
-
What's happened to Trojan?
I don't think we've heard from him for ages. :(
Trojan, are you out there? We miss you!
-
Anyone know where Barbirolli is? I miss her input for the word games.
-
Hmm, Barbs has been quiet recently, but she was logged on here earlier this morning.... maybe she has run out of words for the games?
-
Very nice of you to enquire, but I`m still here.
-
Glad you are ok.
-
Thank`s Nem, If i can make it I`ll see you on the 1st in the Kings Head.
-
Hi Barbs, nice to hear from you..
I hope you can make it for the odd shandy tomorrow night... Z**
-
Hi Guys, I went as promised to see Trojan`s mum, she said he is asleep in the day,also he has moved house so his computer was not in use for some time,asked his mum to tell him we were all asking about him,so mystery solved. :D
-
Hmmmm, it never stopped him posting the middle of the night before... ;) 8)
Ah well, just as long as he is OK, nice work Barbs!
-
I understand a local businessman has received a Christmas card from him....

Seen anyone in robes, stood on any good podiums today, by any chance, Dave?
-
No.
-
No.
Oh, shame...
-
I`m sorry i missed out that he is working nights now hence the reason he is in bed during the day.
-
Perhaps, there is no wi-fi on Alcatraz. LOL
-
Thanks, Barbiroli, it was very kind of you to go and see Trojan's mum and pass on the news.
-
Bumped into Craig over Christmas he was looking well and doing OK
-
This weekend, I had the pleasure of chatting with BRUM BOB, (and the delightful Mrs Brum Bob)
I always appreciated Bob's contributions on this Forum, even if I didn't join in all the quizzes.
I also know that he pops the odd note on Oscar.
After our chat, I am hoping that we see Brum Bob, (posting as BrumBob) back on here quite soon!
-
I look forward to that. <:<:<:<
-
Quiggs !!!
I was going to report you 'missing' next...
How are you?
-

FatAndy has been gone almost a month. Last time he was on he called Colwyn Bay a ****hole and got a telling off from Ian, may or may not have something to do with his leaving us. Hope he comes back anyway $good$

Maybe he's busy with other things? I thought he was a good contributor. $good$
-
Maybe he couldn't get a word in, for Steve H? :laugh: :laugh:
-
SteveH is conspicuous by his absence this morning. Does anyone know if he is OK? Must watch out for our old folk. ZXZ

It's only been 15 hrs. thought you had to wait 24 hrs. before being reported missing, but it's good to know, care in the community is alive and well. $thanx$ ;D ;D ;D

No problems, Steve. One of the old folk was looking out for you... WWW WWW WWW

Anyone heard from Yorkie lately? He hasn't posted in a couple of days. I do worry about our old folk. ZXZ

Yorkie's on line, $good$

Posted three times less than 48 hours ago. Couldn't find any space yesterday and am just late today having been slaving over a hot stove all day. Alive and well, not a care in the World, shares doing well (not GVC), car running well and the missus not nagging me. ZXZ
Yorkie rarely signs out! Just stsy signed in. $good$
-
You do not have GVC shares!? &shake& ZXZ

Yorkie has missed a trick there! ZXZ
-
Definately! $good$ ZXZ
-
I too was concerned re-Yorkie. But from a different perspective.
You see he has never gone more than 24 hours without annihilating me at Scrabble, even when in Portugal!
But now I see that normal service is about to be resumed.
There are other missing persons who concern me more. Barbiroli, Pendragon and FatAndy, to name but three.
-
and where as Blodyn gone
-
Barbiroli had her pic in last week's paper for a special birthday-------Congratulations Barbiroli.

Yes. Blodyn told me the same during the summer when she conducted a guided tour around St Tudno’s cemetery for GOES.
-

I think this should be reduced to 10 minutes after 9.30a.m. and then allow 15 to 20 minutes after 10.00 p.m. He must sleep sometime!

-
Great news about Blodyn. I remember dropping her off near her home on a very wild and windy night after a Xmas get together and then she disappeared from the forum so I am relieved that all is well.
What about Paddy, Blongb and 1 rob 1?
Hope you are all okay also.
Our leader DaveR could also be called a part time missing person these days! :o
-
Hi Fester and Nem,thanks for asking about me.I am still around and thanks for the birthday wishes.I won't see the 60s again but 70 is the new 40,right? ;)
-
Hi Barbs, nice of you to check in! I knew you'd be OK.
Hollins, BlongB was OK when I saw him recently. Paddy has not been seen or heard from for a couple of years now.
1-Rob-1 left the forum recently. and made his position very clear as to why.

It's good to hear she is fine, she was a good contributor to the Forum.

I'm not about as much as I once was, gives other people a chance to get a word in. :laugh:
Just looked on the Stats, and it seems that Yorkie spends more time than anyone posting on here:

And the Oscar goes to... Er, no. Scrap that!

Hooray for YORKIE, keeping the engines running!
But the crown looks as if it is being severely challenged by a certain SteveH who will be overtaking in the fast lane any day now. ;D
As of 2 minutes ago he was up to 766. And he's only been here a couple of months! L0L

Who was that football fan with the wrestler name? I liked him. But can't remember his name for the life of me. He had some interesting opinions $good$

Your crown is safe Yorkie, you will be pleased to hear that the CAP (cut and paste) anonymous program is having an effect, my sponsor is pleased with my progress, slow but sure, also I start my winter travels/hibernation in a few weeks. ;) :-X

The unfortunate thing was that he didn't like anyone else to have any.... :laugh:

Actuallly I don't spend that much time on the Forum, I just select keep me logged in, so I show as being on the Forum when I am nowhere near it.

Not too sure that he did?...and he did make a welcome comeback, albeit brief.
But, if you're keeping score, you are winning courtesy of BrumBob. Ahhh, I miss BrumBob.

I'm sure BrumBob would be delighted to hear from you if you drop him a line. $good$

One of the influential members of the forum is having to have a visit to hospital to have what is nowadays a "small" operation. Keyhole surgery. Only a matter of days and he (it is a he) will be back with us. But no treatment and all sorts of nasty things will happen.
He told me the other day. He didn't say not to tell anyone. But then again he didn't say to shout about it. So I cannot reveal his name. But I am sure you would wish to join me in wishing him the best of luck and come back to us soon. He will read this in the forum. Mike

Mike, what the hell you on about?
I hope it's Born to Run, and that it's nothing too trivial.... :laugh: :laugh:
-
Hmmm... Keyhole surgery - "small" operation - addressing potential consequences if left untreated - Male... Sounds suspiciously like a hernia op to me.
But we can't wish anyone well if we don't know who it is, Mike.

Not really an influential member but at least an avid reader. The member in question is me unfortunately. I'm booked in at The Christie in Manchester next week to have Robotic Keyhole surgery on early stage Prostate Cancer.

Hope all goes well Medz good luck.
-
All the best Medz
Nem
-
Best wishes Medz!
-
Hope all goes well and you will soon be back home. Best wishes from us.
-
Wishing you all the best Medz, and that is the first time I have heard of this procedure used for that condition.
I have had to clue myself up quite recently to help a family member who was diagnosed with it.
He is now over the radiography and associated therapies.
It has been inconvenient, and time consuming..... but now, you would not know he had had been affected at all.
I hope it's 'business as usual' for you too, very soon.
-
Thanks for all the kind wishes. Much appreciated. Robot has to be seen to be believed and offers surgeons 10 times magnification and accuracy over normal surgery.
-
Good luck. Hope it goes smoothly and really well.
-
Good luck with the operation Medz, it's marvellous what they can do now. A friend of mine had it last year and has had the all clear and is back to his old self again.
-
I started this conversation off without themedz being mentioned, under the title something like "0ne of our members is going to hospital." However after a post or to it changed its name to "missing persons." Anyone any idea why? It certainly was nothing to do with me
-
Good Luck Medz - best wishes from ;)us
-
However after a post or to it changed its name to "missing persons." Anyone any idea why?
I changed it, Mike, since it seemed appropriate.
-
Wishing you all the best the Medz, you are in good hands
-
Thanks Ian. It was just unfortunate timing that a local man went missing and there was a big police appeal for any information. All tourist attractions were written to individually, by email of course.
-
Just a quick update for all those who wished me well for the operation.
I returned home after a 4 day stay in The Christie in Manchester and am now almost 4 weeks after the procedure. Not certain if it was the power of the medication they sent me home with or the robotic key hole nature of the surgery but it seems to have been a lot less painful than I was expecting.
I have managed to get out on a few very short walks in the last week or so and things are now heading back to some sort of normal.
I go for some tests next week to see whether the procedure has been successful.
Thanks once again for your kind thoughts.
Medz
-
Wish you all the very best, TM. And there's nowhere better than Christies for that problem, either.
-
Very best wishes from me and erindoors Medz! ☺
-
Nice to see you last Monday. Good luck with the tests. ££$
-
Here's hoping for some positive test results for you.
All the best.
-
Best Wishes! $good$
-
Just been back to The Christie to get histology results from samples taken from extracted prostate. Although they will never give a 100% all clear they seemed confident there is no immediate evidence of any cancer being left behind. Relieved doesn't come any where near close to how I'm feeling.
-
That's really good news The Medz and we are all pleased to hear it. $good$
-
Fantastic news! :) D)
-
Well done, TM :-))) So the next round's on you, then? ZXZ
-
Chuffed to bits for you Medz. Great News ! D)

So pleased for you. Some welcome good news this week.

Have not heard from Tom Davidson recently, no sign of him on the DP blog. ?

He has left the DP and gone to the big smoke, Steve.

Yes, wish him all the best in his new post, it was always nice reading his posts on the forum
-
I am still in touch with Tom. I told him you had been asking about him. He did try to leave a comment but he had forgotten his password and couldn't log in!
Anyway I passed on your good wishes. He is busy at the Daily Mirror in London now. Our loss, I feel. He was excellent on the live blog.

I'm pleased for Tom and glad that he's now with my favourite newspaper.
