John-e89. Anybody heard?

Post by Pondrew » Thu Dec 08, 2022 9:58 pm

I know this has been done before, but has anyone heard from John recently?

He hasn't logged on since the beginning of October. I know he has had some health issues, so a little concerned. I like the 'no nonsense' approach that he brings, and has a great sense of humour IMHO.

I sent him a Pm a few days ago but the message hasn’t been picked up.

His absence is odd indeed, I hope he is OK.

I wouldn't say his absence is odd, he's often gone AWOL for spells over the years when he's busy with work or health issues, he always pops back up..hope you are OK John when you eventually read this :thumbsup:
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D

I've known him to go off on prolonged sulks over the years.
Then, somewhat coincidentally but not surprisingly, when people start showing concern about his whereabouts he magically re-appears!

That is partly why I started the thread TBH, to see if he is 'watching'. :|
If anyone can coax him out, you can! :P

I googled 'walnut blasting' in Derbyshire area, but nothing.
