The end of the world is nigh!

...and so marks my return!

Okay, where to start? Well, firstly, sorry to everyone for putting everyone in a bit of a sticky situation. And, although while the POV that led me to my booting is most surely not contained to myself, the fact that I actually decided to vent my frustration, was perhaps in hindsight, not a good idea. But, what's done is done. I didn't know my little indiscretion would have had a knock-on effect that would have spilled over to you lot. But I can say that my ban did have one positive effect, allowing me to take a back seat and view the group from an outside position.

And I can see that we have a few things to work out. Firstly, there is a lot of crap that we have to sort out NOW! The spamming, the back-bitting, the in-fighting is going to stop right away. I'm putting on my authority cap for this one. I'm going to work with Phill to make sure this is a well-oiled ship, and we are going to get...it...right.

Anyway, thanks to Phill for taking over in my absence. Hopefully, it will be the only time you will need to do so.

Right, it's now time we get this place in order, and get it moving is the direction it should be.

Now, if you don't mind...I'll be in the pub!

* points *

it`s mark!!!

* faints *

Wow, I thought you were dead

But since you aren't...... *cough* "The Ashes!" *cough*

*cough*Rugbyworldcup*cough*

*cough*fluke*cough*

Yeah, you're probably right actually


Still, at least we won

We're all behind you on the sorting out issues my friend and I'd like to say, on behalf of all the FF-UK M members welcome back !

I would firstly like to say that during your absence we've tried to keep things on an even keel and made every effort to give you something to come back to. I would also like to put the following people forward for a commendation -

Jairen - Without your patience and even temper things could've got nasty.
Veritasuk - For holding your temper when things got out of hand.
Stormtrooper Fan - Nic, thanks for all the support and the words of wisdom.
Maleficant - Thanks to you Wendy we still have a pub and a shoulder to cry on.
Jangofett9 - we're sad to see you go m8 but there will always be a spot for you here.
Lord Wiz - For keeping me sane and not losing faith in the program, I owe you dude, big style.

I hope you like what we've done with the place m8, it's good to have you home.

As a Northerner looking in and with our first big meet (second in reality) coming up next week.


It's good to see you back you gurt pillock




I shall watch with interest as to how you sort out your little territorial squabbles and hope that you do get the Midlands chapter flourishing as it should be (I feel you will have no difficulty doing this)



It's nice to have you back on the boards.



Now keep your temper in future.

martin,



seriously dude,



you owe me nothing, if anything, i owe you. there have been points, where, we have both have been ready to walk, and through it all we`ve been there for each other.



if all this falls apart, i will have made at least one REALLY good friend, which, at the end of the day, is what this is all about.

i would like to second martin`s recommendations because the last month has been, trying, to say the least.


now enough with this sentimental bollocks, onward and upward!!

Welcome back, Mark!

In honour of your auspicious return, I would like to recite the following stanza from Shakespeare, Leroy Shakespeare:


TWIT TWIT TWIT TWIT
Change the 3rd letter to an A
and eat my ****



Hahahahahah! That's right mods, I said TWIT. That's T-W-I-T.

But I replaced the third letter with an "A" in my mind. Does everyone know that that spells?

T-W-(1st letter of the alphabet)-T

How about SWAT. Just replace the 1st letter with a "T".

Going for another banning I see Joe.



Mark!!! Welcome back to insanity!!

Actually, Joe, that post that actually got me banned, one of the words edited out of it was THAT word. I was told, that word would have got me a weeks ban, the rest was what got me the month...Well, you know me...crash and burn style!

That word can get you banned?
A harmless word like that?

And there was me thinking you had to actually swear profusely to get banned


Maybe I should behave now
