Re: The mission is over!
Same as what Gina said 
So very glad you are back Paul
....I didn't say anything when you 'left' because I didn't think you would see it 
I followed your journey back to the UK...and then your boat...and everything.
People do care

Re: The mission is over!
Ok, gonna look like a fool for 'returning' so early, but personally it won't be the first time I've made a fool of myself on here, so 'onwards and up aye!'
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!

I dont attend the site on a daily basis as i used to and i certainly dont post as much as i used to but i do still look in and i post the odd one now and again if i think i can really help or if it touches a nerve as your post has. I would love to think that i can still be of asistance to some people starting out because i remember only too well the crap we went through in the beginning and the folks that gave us encouragement and answers at that time. This site runs on the likes of you and I paul (thats not a big up myself!!) without people who have had the 'experience' good or bad this site would close because who else would be there to answer the mirriad of questions.
Anyway ill stop blabbing on, just wanted to say whatever you do is your choice Paul and good luck to you either way

Re: The mission is over!
Ok ok! ...
Thing is Paul, you make some very valid points, its an odd feeling because i have been using this site for over four years now and i too have experienced what seems like total blanking on a couple of threads, i think part of it is as previously mentioned by someone, in so much as we are the 'elder' posters and new people come along and they dont have a scooby who we are and most of the people that we have chatted to over the years have gone so its a kind of limbo.

Re: The mission is over!
Well, title says it all. It's time to move on guy's.
I was tempted to just slip away but that's not fair to the people that have supported me thru my ups and downs in my mission to get PR in Australia.
The mission is over, and things are going very well for us now. My job is excellent and I've never enjoyed work more. Nic is out of her cast and back to work on Thursday. The kids are happy.
I can't ask for any more!
Things are currently pretty stale for me in BE. I'm fed up with posts and threads being ignored so am man enough to know when enough is enough.
I just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that has supported me over the last few years, you know who you are!
Is it that time? ... yep, time for my last WBG.
