Gasbag

 No wait, that's what they called the General.

Not that gasbag Pete, the other one, that's less "gaseous"?

[Pete in Lincs]

Martian, have you been out stalking ugly cars again?

[Martian]

Just a quickie to let those who follow this thread why things have gone a bit quiet of late. Some may be aware that I have become seriously unwell with my mental health and as such have not done much modelling as a consequence. I did manage about an hour under supervision yesterday but it left me completely wiped out. I am trying to get back to something like normal but, if it happens at all, it is going to take some time.

 

I am not looking for sympathy or anything, it's just that I think that you guys that have been loyally following the thread deserve to know why I have been AWOL.

All my best thoughts for you my dear tentacled one...

Take care and take your time !!

Sincerely.

[LorenSharp]

Taking care of YOU has a higher priority. The models will still be there waiting upon your return.

[Pete in Lincs]

I suspected as much and your health has my best wishes. Take your time, it's not the same without you.

[LorenSharp]

But in the interim, @Pete in Lincs is trying  to regale us with series of Vogon and ancient Martian poetry set to "Anarchy in the U.K." A regular Kerouac he is.

[LorenSharp]

When ever he starts, everyone breaks out their Cigarette lighters and ignites them. Not sure if they are in tune with Pete, or they just want to burn him at the stake.

I wandered lonely as a nurglet. 

In a field of golden smurg.                   

Mimsey were the lamp posts   

And my trousers were aflame

....... and those are wise and true words.

 

Andy Sweet and I are looking forward to the next coffee morning, whenever you feel up to it.

 

Take much care.

Just had a scan through the last few pages. I haven't been on Britmodeller that much recently, have I accidentally entered a strange parallel universe? 🫣  😂

[Pete in Lincs]

Yes and no and did you pay the new entry fee?

[TheBaron]

Look after yourself Daddy M. This'll keep and so will we. 🫂

You've unlocked this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Britmodeller Zone.

[Brandy]

Take care of yourself. We, and the models, can wait.

I'm sure "all the usual suspects" will join me in wishing you a speedy return to "normal"!

[Heather Kay]

Take all the time you need, Martian. Build up your strength for SMW.

[Zephyr91]

Your Martianness,

 

Your health is paramount.  Take your time.  We will always wait, however long, for an update and are rooting for you - mind you, if you take a very long time we might have taken root!      But what the heck......get well.

 

Best wishes.

So disgusting to steal the immortal works of Myra T Breckinridge Junior Pete, shame on you

 

Martian Do Doo Dooo get weller soon - ish

 

Mentality keeps blundering into so many lives these days, can anyone tell round here?

 

And followed by phisicality takes over oft times it seems

(Pete can I suggest ditch the tee shirt mate, self aggrandising is so infra dig)

[general melchett]

Yes, it's been a difficult time for him but we've banded together to offer whatever assistance and support we can from this end; after all, isn't that what this life business is all about? Weirdly or as Ripley would have it, "believe it or not," our humble abode has become known in recent years as, among many other things, a "house of healing" (other people's words, not mine), and I'm glad to say Martian feels the same way. He had so much fun recently that he's agreed to a return match in October to help aid his recovery, down a few Pan Galactics, annoy the neighbor's cat, do some scratching (modeling), and celebrate the Mems 60th birthday. He's even promised to cook us a special 'something'...the mind burgles. Baldrick looks understandably worried, the neighbor's cat has developed a stutter and the local sanitation department has been put on short notice.

Wondered what the smell was Pete, assumed you'd stepped in something and had a go at the Mem's Vindaloo...

I'll be on standby. Sandwiches safely clingfilmed, and anti Blurglecruncion field generator on tickover.

Along with many industrial grade fire extinguishers. for FX.

Dearest Martian

sorry to hear the news but wishing you a speedy recovery. 
You won’t need told that all the “usual suspects” are rooting for you. Several for each tentacle 🐙 as it happens.
