Heard it on the radio-this afternoon-I wish he would, he's a good bloke and sorely missed in my opinion.
If anyone knows of his whereabouts tell him to come back-I miss his grumpy humour

fear not , he will be back
this is how he signed off his last p.m. to me ( the rest was private )

I know I've not been around much but I'm keeping an eye on the forum and of course "I'll be back"

Thanks for keeping in touch - Debbie & Mac.

he is sorting out his father in laws estate ( no not a 240 ) in Essex and its taking a lot of his time ,
so hes not often at home burt as he says he is keeping an eye on us so just behave yourelves lol

Good to hear-pass on my regards to the old boy

Not so much of the "old boy" if you please!

"old fart" - acceptable
"grumpy old fart" - accurate
"pain in the arse" - also accurate
"boy" - not for at least 50yrs.

Seriously - I am still around, and as Mick says I have been initially helping care for my father in law (Deb and I moved to Essex temporarily) and latterly after he passed away I have been helping Deb sort his estate out.
(probate, inheritance tax, etc. etc. We have also had three other family funerals since January (the clan is dropping like flies) so thing have been a leeetle hectic. Still thing are gradually working themselves out.

I am keeping an eye on the forum and sticking an oar in every so often, and I am filling gasket orders as needed.

Ps - it's not humor - it's genuine grumpy !!!

Mac

good to hear from you dad ,

and glad things are slowly sorting themselves out

Good to know the "grumpy old fart" hasn't gone AWOL then
