Just when you thought it was safe.......

....I'm back!

Okay, I'll be back properly next week, subject to BT connecting a new broadband connection properly for us (never, ever use TalkTalk because you won't be able to TalkTalk ).

Sick leave is over, and the forum will never be the same again!

Cannot believe I still hold the top spot for posters! I see that sneaky Barnacle is trying to catch up but now that I'm back, well he's got no chance of catching me!

And he hates smilies

I hope you've all been good in my absence?

Has anything exciting happened or have you all just been waiting for me?

Did you even notice I was gone?

With luck and a following wind, and Mrs Stan in a good mood (I'll take one for the team <shudder> ) I might even have Project Jigsaw back on the road this year!

I hope life has been good to you all, I think I've taken all your bad luck, trust me, it's been one thing after another, but I just keep telling myself "Fight or Die" and keep going.....like a bad penny

Glad to be back "home" after such a long absence, look forward to the craic again,

Cheers,

Stan

By The Lord Harry! Welcome back young man!

Thank you james, and nice to see you still haven't changed your signature, although with him becoming Dr Who it could be a bit weird!

Thank you

Miracles do happen

Welcome back

Great news, welcome back !

Welcome back Mr Stan.

Sorry, do we know you?

Awesome!!!! Welcome back

Stan, that's great news. Delighted for you both.

If you are at a loose end, you have an answerphone message from me from a few months ago you could always bother returning

..... and an email from myself

Stan who?

Good to have you back Stan

And even better to hear Mrs Stan is still around. I think I've missed her more than I've missed you

Welcome back, which roads do I need to avoid again?

Great to see you back Stan!

Hi new boy.

If you can get a round of tea's and coffee's in that would be great. We also need some glass nails, a long weight and some tartan paint please

Hello Stan! Welcome back & Happy New year.

Hello Stan. Welcome back Good news for the forum

Nice to you back Stan.

Now get your team in the ff1 league.

good to have you back Stan

Kinell!! Eat yo' heart out, Phoenix

We've spent all this time trying to make the forum more sensible and moderated, now you have to come and spoil it all

Well a few coops have changed hands, bitten the dust or had major heart surgery since your last missive, patch has been sowing his wild oats grass seeds in several fictional countries, and a guy has sneezed into a trombone during a church concert.

No, no; I've got these voices in my head...Admin error.....admin error......admin error.....


Oh and a warm welcome back fella!

Thank $DEITY$ for that - I was dreading the flak I'd get if I ever overtook your count!

Ooh I nearly thought Neil had used a bad word there

As if, Simon, as if...

Welcome Stan, but surely your count should start from scratch?????

Welcome back stan

There is very reminiscent of a certain scene out of oceans 13, have you read all the letters Reuben?

Also very good to hear you still have project jigsaw.

Welcome back, Stan.

Ha, I actually forum-stalked you yesterday to try and find out what you were up to!

Glad to see you back on the forum!!

Welcome back Stan, but we expect a post once a day to explain exactly what you and Mrs Stan have been up to for the past 3 years!

But if we know you're here, then it makes everywhere else that little bit safer!

Welcome back Stan.

Welcome back Stan!

You've been away so long that I've actually got myself another coupe and spent the last year fixing it up.

Oh, and a packet of benzene rings; I think they are available in Coventry

Good to have you back

Can I be the first to mention do-nuts!

Holy crap, from one tight Scotsman to another glad see you on the forum again

A smiley for you.

Yay! Welcome back Stan

Have a range of these to annoy Neil!

Whatmo, you're banned!

Good to have you back Mr Stan, you've been missed!

no your band


(even worse!)

Hi Stan

You missed the opportunity to use "know your band" for full points. Well done for permanently quoting a Barnacle smiley though...

This reminds me of a scene from 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' where the squadron of planes reappears after being missing for many years.
What's it like up there Stan, I'm glad your hosts were happy with the Malaysian flight we exchanged for your safe return.

Seriously though, it's great to have you back.

Welcome back Stan! I thought you had left the fold for a while!

Fan-bloody-tastic news

Good to see you back Stan

So glad to see you back Stan.

Welcome back.

Welcome back Stanley! I missed you

Great news! Welcome back

Glad to know you still exist!

Indeed, glad to see your back and thinking of starting the project again.

Great to have you back Stan, and here is hopeing life starts to treat you a LOT better!!

Schtanley Manly - nice to have you back, your front is still rubbish

Out of respect I have hardly posted since you went away, now you're back I have sooo much to say and ask, I may now explode

Welcome back buddy - nice to see you about again

Ohh - and apols for the late night drunked text, it was for my lil sis - I promise

Gordon Bennet

Great to see you back Stan, this news has actually been a bit of a boost in an otherwise shyte spell

I hope Stan is ok........

Fingers crossed BT have screwed up and his TalkTalk dial up is preventing him getting on here.

Be careful! It's Richter, and he's lost my memory!

Time to get my ass back to Maaz!

Hi folks and THANK YOU for the wishes, very much appreciated, very much!

I do apologise for my absence again, between hospital, broadband issues and then a NEW project car (not a coupé I'm afraid) and the loss of Project Jigsaw I've been a bit busy,

However, from now expect things to start to return to normal, we've just had to make "reasonable adjustments" to allow the cripple to type and read the screen, aren't wifi keyboards wonderful when combined with an HDMI cable attached to a 42" telly to act as a monitor due to dodgy eyes.

I can bore you to death (my friend who I keep side stepping ) but that can wait for another day......maybe the doctors on the site can understand all the big words I'll use, like bone marrow aspiration.....YOUCH, that's more painful than spending money at Alternative Autos


Oh and Wishy "Which roads do I avoid?".....all of them you are in my sights again, I drive like Mr Magoo!


Thanks again everyone, it is you that make this forum so special that makes people want to come back!

Good man! Great to have you back among us.

Welcome back, I'll drive home carefully tonight with that knowledge!

Hello Stan Glad to see you back on here.

Magnificent to see you back, Stan - too good!

That's not a very nice way to speak about Mrs Stan

Good to see you back on the forum Stan!

Great to see you posting again Stan - makes the forum feel complete again

^ What He said ^

Good to see you back Stan

Hi again Stan!
