I just wanted to publicly thank everyone for being so nice as to award me the above this year. I really didn't expect that as the Everest Advert says. Quite spun me out it did. And there was me winding up Matt Fay about his award. Great to meet new faces and put names to them and thank you to the Pink Carnation Club for your company on Saturday evening. Madam Whiplash and the rest of the harem you know who you are. Here's to the next time but we must find a restaurant that can cook! Sorry.

Bob

Congratulations. Your input on this site has helped me cope with PAF - especially comforting reading your replies to others in the middle of the night during an episode!

'Beancounter ' deserves an award too.

We are so lucky to have you both.

Many congratulations, Bob. It's great that there is recognition for all the help that you have given to so many of us.

Miss Whiplash? My friend Carol? The ultra- smart, hugely attractive, professional lady?

What on Earth happened in Birmingham?

I'm a gentleman and couldn't possibly comment but it involved inflicting pain. LOL I do agree with your assessment mind.

Very, very well deserved Bob - congratulations. Wish I could have been there.

Just to echo congratulation, Bob, now that I'm back home. It really was a treat to be there and see you presented with the award. So very well deserved.

And yes, Saturday evening was excellent and another bonus was putting faces to names. A first class weekend altogether. Hugely informative and well worth while.

Hi Bob - I've been away on the high seas so just catching up on my e mails. So, CONGRATULATIONS to you on your award. You deserve it - you are so knowledgeable & explain things so well . I have printed out more than one of your replies!
