Finally met @sstriker and @Monkey back in April. Forgot to put some pics up. It was a brilliant evening and we had a lot of fun! Maybe a bit to much beer and rum but who cares. 🙂 It's nice to put a face to a name!
Wishing you idiots all the best!!

Hi all as you know a few weeks ago my wife was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer.
Well yesterday she went into hospital and they carried out a 4 hour surgery to remove part of her lower bowel and intestine that contained the tumour. The surgeon told me it was a lot larger than they expected 15cm across (the size of a large grapefruit). Well they got it all and there were no signs of it spreading. As a precaution they took a few biopsies further up the bowel and intestine to be sent off for testing. Although my wife is in a lot of pain and requires a lot of healing we are all over the moon and she looks better already.

long time time no shoot.
I have been away from the pc for a few years now and have just treated myself to a gaming pc, so I would love to play with you guys again. Ive downloaded the latest of cod 4 that is the remastered game we all love, trouble is i cant seem to find a way to the command prompt to input the ip address, its been many years and a lot of brain fogging medication so im quite lost. and hints as to how to join you would be gratefully received. i think i needed to join via steam but my account has gone.

It is with a very heavy heart to say, that early this morning, my wife and I lost our boy Baxter, he would have been 13 in September.  His health took a turn last night and was up with him 2-3am this morning but sadly did not make it through the night.
He was a rescue, so we'll cherish the times and years he was with us and in knowing that he had good home and a loving family.  He is and will be deeply missed, he was quite the character.
Rest in Peace buddy.
