Well - what a year (and then some) :shock:
Sometime in May last year, I had a fall out with my then employer. So I thought I’d take a few weeks off to chill and relax a little. That “couple of weeks†was extended – a little the sun began to shine and it ran into the summer “couple of months†I’d intended to have off later in the year. Something I do every couple of years or so.
I had a complete ball for the bigger part of the year.
Munches. Socials. Playing. The whole shooting match.
Summer became autumn. Autumn became winter. Winter became Christmas.
My love of this place, the people, and the lifestyle became deeper and deeper by the week.
I travelled around the country, having fantastic fun, and “fun†meeting and getting to know a wide range of wonderfully differing people.
I had giggle and a blast on the forum. I threw tantrums and tiaras in the forum. I don’t think I ever flounced tho’ ops: - It came close a couple of times :oops: – but hey ho. Then we all started to settle in to SH 2006
I made some very good friends and some very special friends.
I’ve had help from a lot of people on varying levels and for different reasons.
Three people stick in the forefront of my mind.
The largest amount of help – physically, emotionally and on a practical level was from a very special lady. A lady I will always be grateful for meeting and becoming friends with. Thank you.
Another special girly – that unfortunately is not around SH very much any longer, who will always be quite special to me. Discretion forbids me saying in public who she is; but all I can say is that if you read this - - next time you’re out and about in Liverpool, watch out for the security and cctv cameras; and I’ll certainly never look at the Quayside without very fond memories :twisted:
The third ? Well . . . I’ll have to come back to the third. But as a pre-empt – Budbud even decided at some point in the year that we’d consider having a MK IV :shock:
I had an amazing, fantastic “trip of a lifetime†holiday in Thailand over Christmas. One that I’ll never forget, and be eternally grateful for.
As last year became this year, and it became actually necessary for me to go back to work, I took ill with the sort of arthritis thing. – A massive shock to me, as up until then, I’d never had a day off “sick†in my life. I’ve had physical injury – but never “illness†There’s another thread about that somewhere, so I’m not getting into here, except to say that I’m on the mend, and hence partly the reason for this thread.
I said I’d come back to “the third†- lol
One of the highlights of last year – and indeed my life so far – was to be asked to meet a nervous “newby single bi femâ€, put her mind at rest that we aren’t all mad, bad, axe murders and to give her the point of view and thoughts of an alleged “successful single, trustworthy single male†:roll:
Who could have guessed how that would turn into what it did :shock:
I’ve always had a “thing†for horny little blondes. And now, I have one of my very own. The very special, and a very precious HornyLittleBlonde :inlove:
Had things turned out differently – as they should have done - I would now be thanking her for the fun and good times we had shared; but as things have developed beyond my wildest dreams, all I can do is thank her for her
Thank her for who she is.
Thank her for what she is.
And thank her for being the way she is

The reason for writing this thread is that I’m actually going back to work :shock:
Common sense is dictating that I should ease myself back into it, so I’m going to be doing odd days, as and when I’m “able†– I am going back on the road, but not yet full time. When I’m ready and able to go back fully, I’m going to try not to tramp. I have too much at home to want to be away all week. But going back to work means I won’t be around the forums as much to entertain and annoy
That’s the reason for the thread.
The purpose is to say thank you
Thank you to those I’ve met, bounced off in the café, met for coffe and cakey-bun, played with, drank with, fallen out with, and every other interaction I’ve had here in the forum and out there in the “real world†in person.
Thank you.
:oops: When I started writing this thread, I had lots and lots more to say, but I think I've (as usual) rambled too much already, and I think you'll see the point of it all :wink:
