After my OP I pm'd Sue and asked for my account to be deleted, and I guess she knows me too well and THIS time said I had to go a month without a post and she'd do it! ... I failed! ...

Anyway ...

Just a few points.


Well in the past I've been accused of being an 'attention seeker' ... and if I wanted to go, then just GO! ... DON'T make no drama of it!!!

This time, at the time of the OP I DID want to GO ... but at the same time felt I owed the people that has supported me over the years some kind of excuse / reason ... albeit a short one!

After reading your reply I felt I couldn't win as if I went on about 'this and that' I'd be accused as an attention whore. If I just slipped away it would be wrong to me mates. So I tried to do sommit 'in between'.

Can't win ... kind of situ!


I KEEP reading this, and prob the BIGGEST reason I've returned!

Ok, I KNOW there's people on here who don't like me, for WHATEVER reason, but at the same time with the law of averages there is (thankfully) people who do!

I HAVE to admit I struggle with rejection but HAVE to learn that it too is the law of averages! ... some will! ... some won't!

Earlier I spent god knows how long pm'ing people on here cos I thought I'm off and don't wanna lose touch. People who *I* consider me mates! ... but hey! ... I aint goin anywhere! ...

I'm gonna go on and post stupid email jokes, funny clips, and god knows what ... and if it's a contender for BE's 'most crap thread' then so what!!!

I just wanna say *sorry* for throwing my action man out of my pram, and that I WILL try to build a stronger Paul for the future on BE!

Thread killed?

Probably! ...

Love you all!

WBG!
you barsteward!

I have just e mailed you under my true name as I thought you were doing a runner and now you are back and I could have safely stayed in the closet!!


never mind welcome back we greet you with open arms and a reminder to self to remember next time you are the biggest addict of us all

you have loads of advice to give to others as you had a shite time of it but managed to turn it all around.

Plod on! ... do what you do! ... and bollox to the one's that don't like it aye!

Honestly, I am touched. So glad you decided to stay. I have just got a couple of questions for you that I don't think have been asked on BE before:

How much for a 20 ft container?
Will my telly work in Queensland?
How do I open an Australian bank account and
Do they sell vegetables in Australia?

£3k - £4k ish

Yes, but you might need a set top box to make it work.

Easy, you can do in online with the Conbank

They do indeed!

Glad you're back on here .

You've got lots to contribute from your personal experiences.

Don't worry if nobody writes back to your jokes. I often laugh at a joke, but wouldn't think that I have to reply.
