I've met him a couple of times too, and he seems a perfectly nice fella.


I have accused him of stirring on here before, and he does get offended quite easily, but he is also quite funny. I hope he returns.


He's done Narnia. Perhaps MiddleEarth next...

I'm not letting that lie. Outside now.

What.. move a Thread to another Forum Section after 8 years...


Don't think so.

There was more than one thread where AM was treated unfairly.

I just wish I'd said something at the time or at least sent him a PM to check he was ok.


Hopefully when he reads this thread he'll realise that the majority of people miss him and want him to return asap.

alas poor declan i knew him weel. Well I met him about 3 times, and a lovely chap, with a delightful wife, he'll be happy enough without grief from the forum.


plus you know, the 'alan medic' is dead, long live the 'alan mice maid'

reading many of RPC posts maybe I'm inured to her tone. She definitely ragged on "Alan" without provocation but most people would normally dismiss her post as over reaction.


Aquarius wants to point fingers at the forum but I suspect the main problem is offline

My reasons for missing him are entirely selfish, splendid chap though he is - a regular on the betting thread, regular on FF (and a fan of BFS) and a worthy adversary in the 100s game. Plus, one less sniper to hit the next 100 on the CC thread..... which will make it harder


wot SJ said, I suspect

Maybe, but adding fuel to the fire doesn't help does it?!

But such is life AQ surely?


All of us post on here knowing full well we may encounter people and opinions which may not be helpful to us (and vice versa) but we still do it. Sometimes it all becomes a bit much and we step away


And that's not only ok, but probably a good thing

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
