Over the last few years of active blogging, and BBSing and other forms of electronic communication since 1986, I have decided to stop active blogging and would like to thank everyone for their friendship, support, suggestions and comments.
It’s been fun, but it’s time to move on.
Thanks very much and best of luck to everyone. It’s been a pleasure.

i hope you find the time to drop a post even if it was once a month, even if you couldnt we understand.. and wish you the very best.

Ah, dear Mahmood. I haven’t visited for a few months and now you are gone. Your gentle wisdom and humour has seen us through some dark times, and reminded us all that behind the so-called “clash of civilisations” we are all just people. I wish you and your family well. Though an infrequent visitor of late, I shall miss you.
Bye mahmood. You have been fun to read
For the festive December season for “our lot” I wish you and yours well. For the new year – my very best wishes….
Mike
