While where at it, ou est le @CanucksTraveller and @SkipdiverJohn?

I do still call in here for a read occasionally (and very rarely post a pint or a car to the beer / classic car threads) but yes I don't post much now.

A couple of things happened, one, the big schizm caused by the overly political stuff, the snark, the negativity and attacks, it put me off a bit.

At the same time my daughter was asked to trial for a good competitive swimming club and since then she's been rattling up through the squads, becoming a really good competitive swimmer over the course of a very busy 18 months. So I decided to focus my time supporting that and leave behind anything that causes negative feeling. I've actually not cycled in well over a year, I'm very much a swim dad now so my input on cycling is kind of out of date! You can see from the pics where I spend my time now.

I am very glad to see @Drago back though. Makes the forum a more interesting read, and for that reason I still call in for a light browse occasionally. Thanks for checking on me and I hope you're well @wafter !

I occasionally wonder where @threebikesmcginty went.

Miserable fekker. I’m glad he’s gone

And that Velvet Curtain bloke…..never liked him either

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

What happened to mad doug biker?

That's a point.

mad doug often disappears , and returns later

I got distracted by something and wandered off... For 6 years.

Seriously though, the forum was just taking up too much of my time, so I had a rest and then kinda' forgot about it, sorry.

I've said it before here but I miss the abuse I used to get off him in the music threads, it amused me no end.

Another thought has just occurred to me, he's responsible for what I reckon is probably the greatest ever post on CC.
