I think it's time Martin came back, who agrees?

Post 762366 by t5 pete on 2015-03-05 21:46:27

Yup

Me.....the forum isn't the same tbh, I know there normally ended up being some 'off topic' banter but it (99% of the time) good natured.

Yeah.

I spoke to him this week, he seems a bit pissed off / down, so might not be soon, but given some time I'm sure he'll be back and his usual self.

Yep, come back!!

Post 762387 by BIG G on 2015-03-05 22:13:30

Yh is bit strange not seeing his posts on every thread lol, agree with graham.

Post 762391 by Biff on 2015-03-05 22:20:10

I miss his banter & advice. We don't want the p2 advice being dished out by "him" do we. I know he's busy with his house & said he's grown up. I think he needs the next mod on the swede!

The beauty of the internet (and this is something I've been trying to get across to people for some time) is if you don't like reading something, you don't have to. Especially these days with block and ignore functions. Did you know you can also block phone numbers too. Not that I bother as it's a pain.

If its for other reasons no time etc then fair enough but to leave over a argument seems a real shame and just not needed you have many friends on here that use this place. Other than that is this how southerners work it out up here we just hit each normally with what ever is closest and then go for a pint afterwards
