    Well **** me! This has come as a bolt out of the blue. I have to say Ron, you've been the backbone of the forum since day one. I well remember when there were but a handful of people on this site. After the BBC bungle, the competition among the new sites was pretty fierce. But in the end this place won us all over, and that my friend was down to you. I remember having my arm twisted up my back so many times that I just had to join. You even had me do some of your dirty work and hunt down others. Those were the days. I don't know the gist of what's being hinted at, but you'll be missed as a moderator. You were a first class act. The good news is that you are sticking around. :)

    Really disappointing - always a voice of reason and you have worked so hard to keep the very best site going.
    Shame that whatever the reason could not be mitigated.

    From memory, it was a very old Eddie Braben/Morecambe & Wise joke at the expense of some innocent semi-operatic lady guest star. No offence intended, and I'm genuinely sorry to see you go.

    Oddy, eh ? Why do Fergie and Moyes spring to mind ?

    Didn't see that Rainer but I can imagine Eric Morecambe's reaction to it <laugh>

    PS. I'm not going anywhere. Just chucked in the mod role.

    Well done Ron. You've done a terrific job moderating this board and once your still going to be active on the forum then that's all good. Enjoy mod - retirement.

    By the way has JP been on the phone recently to ya about riding some horses of his ;)

    Good luck Ron. Perhaps you should change your 'moderator' label to something like 'Well hung man' and just hope you don't bump into Cyclonic in the gents lol

    Is it an illusion (or my eyesight) or is one a bit higher than the other? I think the grey stuff needs removing; it's the only way to be sure.
