The banter between them did get a bit too much for Ivan, we miss him.
Come back Ivan, all is forgiven.
Not long out of hospital, thought I would check in. Just to get things straight about why Ivan no longer posts. Nothing to do with me. He decided to stop posting when Hugh decided to leave due to some issues with admin.

Re: Antagonists
Before i went on Holiday i was in contact with Ivan and he is fine. He had told me that he was taking a break from site and would see how things went with him, as he had some Family issues. Did say he may return later ??
Cheers
PS I may be a bit quiet too for a while just trying to catch up on a few things at Home etc, personal matters
Cheers

Re: Antagonists
James , great to see you posting again, i missed your intelligent and very witty banter. I do not like the word antagonist being used, be it tongue and cheek to all our friends either removed or left the site for their own reasons .James i hope you are now well, and look forward to your next batch of posts.

Unfortunately, and sadly those that did because of the Marian sage i feel sort of cut off their noses to spite their faces. This said in a nice manner not an aim at anyone,s Personal reasons !
To leave a site because of one Person is to me just silly, you are giving away your possibly one thing that you like for what??
Yes i do believe in standing up for mates and all, but going over the edge , well not for me !
Cheers
To anyone who may have left because of this and reads this , please think again and read my post clearly.
We will Welcome you back at anytime !
We are after all a "Band Of Brothers" Cheers
