Re: Happy 12th Birthday to the Forum
Thanks for running it David. In those years we have had plenty of ups and downs, seen off those who sought to disturb our harmony. We remember fondly those we have lost especially dear old Mob. It has evolved into a friendly forum of information, sharing, fun and banter and we look forward to many more years as members of Cruise Community.
Thank you David.

Re: Happy 12th Birthday to the Forum
I echo everything that Foxy has said. I was remembering the people we haven't heard from lately particularly where are used to hearing from Sue and Garry at this time of year. Has anyone heard how they are doing? I know Garry had a possible problem was it with his leg? This is the first site that I look at in the morning. There is such a lot of good information that the members on this site can offer. When I look at some of the information that's given on FB in answer to people's questions so often it's not correct. It must take a lot of work David to keep this site going so thank you so much.

Happy Birthday the forum, and like carole I also echo all what Foxy posted.
It's the friendly forum, and thank you David for all you do behind the scenes.

Re: Happy 12th Birthday to the Forum
Happy anniversary David…. I must say that if it wasn’t for you, I would have had far more time to do the things my wife would have wanting me to be doing this past twelve years….so thank you for that.
I can only echo what my good mate Foxy has said about the good friends who are no longer with us, indeed, I was only thinking about our good friend Mr Shiney the other day....also, I can’t believe it’s coming up to a year since our good friend Mob passed away…I do miss Mob
…but at least I’ve still got Foxy and you David to keep me in check.
Well done David on reaching this milestone and like others have said, your unparalleled contributions to the forum are very much appreciated by all.
Love n xxxx

Re: Happy 12th Birthday to the Forum
Thanks from me too David. It’s sad when we lose members especially when they have contributed so much to the forum. We’ve lost some real characters over the years. I’m especially grateful for a meet up I had with JenniC via this forum. We are still friends and I have been on several cruises with her and her family.

David, if you can find your way to shed the forum of any Republicans I'd be most grateful and would up your rating from four stars to five

Last I heard from Sue Kershaw was that Garry would need to undergo medical treatment and it would be a while before cruising again.

Re: Happy 12th Birthday to the Forum
It's nice to drop into this forum now and again. It's like a friend.
I personally had a big health scare just 2 days before travelling on Iona just before Christmas. Thankfully all is well and I'm hoping that 2025 will be better than 24.
A belated happy new year to one and all.
