Martian Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 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.

LorenSharp Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 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. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenSharp Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 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"! Ian 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

general melchett Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 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. Quote And my trousers were aflame In a field of golden smurg. Wondered what the smell was Pete, assumed you'd stepped in something and had a go at the Mem's Vindaloo... 3 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
