I thought this thread was some kind of joke and I was about to hit the ban button until I realized someone had dug it up from its grave.

I was wondering what that stench was? Old threads and sheep dip. Whew.

Wow, just wow.
I haven't been on here as often recently but I have been keeping up with JJ's progress...the last I looked, I thought he was doing better - maybe that was wishful reading on my part.

I am sorry for his family and for this forum, he really helped to make me join and enjoy this place.

Rest In Peace
-Pete

This has brought back a few happy memories. We knew each other before the post and as I had a black TT sub, I always ribbed him about his blue one. Good times that won't be forgotten.

We talked a lot yet never met - but one day we will share a large pint up in the Pearly Gates Pub.
