Hi
I notice that Flapjack’s last posting had been removed.
What is the reason for this?

Thanks mrgwair567. . ...... I was just going to post the same question myself !!
I find it strange don’t you?
Definitely !! Unless Flapjack took it down himself, as looks like he has removed himself from the forum completely....Unfortunately!!
That might the case. More’s the pity!He was a valued contributor
Perhaps the moderator removed it because of his offensive remark to Badger . FJ did actually rejoin minutes after deleting his account and ownership of his previous posts
He apologised to Badger after rejoining , and stated that , that was his reason for rejoining.
But not very nice for Badger having it there for all to see. Better removed
I didn’t think that this forum had moderators
I don’t know what you call them. The people who remove posts and threads
Is flapjack left the forum now? His invaluable to this forum be a shame if his left, hope it all gets sorted
It's a bit like the Germans and the war as Basil Fawlty used to say "dont mention the Germans major" 😂, and much like the war Pad, bombs going off everywhere and innocent civilians caught in the crossfire 🤷♂️. Don't know what exactly went off, or why everyone seems to have the hump, no need for anyone to leave, be rude, or take things out of context, but it happens, Tin hat now back on, take care dude speak soon 🧐
I could do with watching a few episodes of faulty towers absolute classic need a laugh, think everyone should do the same don’t take things to heart
Just talking to someone one another thread from France about the vaccine rollout , Allo Allo is another classic worth watching again, same type of plot as the last few days, maybe not as much comedy 😂 .... Everyone gone mad and the English at the epicentre.... Speak soon mate take care Pad, and meet up for a coffee soon as this nonsense is over, unless I get lined up and shot for insubordination 🤷♂️.
Allo ici la France - that someone is moi 😊Fawlty towers, Not the nine 'o clock news, Benny Hill ( so bad it was good), Black Adder, Allo Allo, Frankie Howard , Monty Python ( He's a very naughty boy) .....
Just wish Covid would " bog 'orf" and I can once again sit down with friends in a bistro with no one mentioning "covid' (I mentioned it once and got away with it Manuel)
Take care!
Haha classics there Lily, won't it be lovely, just never have to mention covid again, Captain Slackbladder and Percy would be in big trouble on here 😂
Hey Lil...you didn’t mention Last Of The Summer Wine. The really old stuff was rubbish, in my opinion but the more recent contributions were ‘spot on’. I wonder if any of the cast had AF.
How could I forget to put that on my list and also " Dad's Army" a real gem! Afib is a funny thing so many people have it but I don't know anyone that has it except on this and another forum which is why I joined 😊We should start another forum called " Last 0f the summer Afibbers" or "Dad's Afib" 🤣
"dad's afib" 😂 am gone..... 🤣
Good thinking Lil...you could be the director and I could be ‘the daft one’. Plenty of choice there ‼️‼️
"One foot in the afib" , sure I've seen Victor around at times 😂
Hey Ian...Af Wiedersehen Pet. Don’t mention the war though. Or Adolf.
🤣😂 Good one !
😂 😂 Barry, my favourite
Yes Ian, Barry ...Progressed to be a real good actor.
He did didn't he, Timothy Spall has had some cracking parts, and shown some very good acting since those days.
So right Ian...I don’t suppose you’re a biker, or ex biker❓
I am Ticker, used to have an R1, a couple of GXRs and a 750Ninja and load of off road bikes , rode off road from the age of ten.Big RTA in 2000 and a year in hospital ended my bikes, but love them still and the new sport bikes, just too old to ride one now without needing lifting off . Just gone to fast cars now, nearly as much fun. You into two wheels?
Used to be Ian, donkeys years ago. My old dad was a combination man, so I think it rubbed off on me. The interest only lasted a couple of years until I was old enough to drive a car, of which I’ve had 50 plus. Ridiculous really. I’ve had some really good motors, including motorhomes. I now run around in a Nissan Leaf, which is FANTASTICO. I just had a sneaky feeling that you were a ‘biker’
Probably around same number of cars as me, serial car changer 😂. Got a couple,but the main weapon now is an F10 M5, running 750hp and 1000nm, makes for an interesting drive...
Sorry Ian but that’s not a car, it’s a rocket. I think the quickest thing I’ve had was a TT. My speedy days are now over. Having said that, although the Leaf is just 150 bhp, it takes a bit of beating at a standing start. The smash up you had must have been major. A year in hospital...blimey ‼️
It's unreal like a bike performance wise. The accident wasn't a good one, got hit by a 4x4, broke my back, and other stuff, scary time. Lucky to walk again, but tbh got lucky and am stubborn so got back to decent health. Then got afib 😂. Ablation sorted that thankfully just happy to be here and enjoying life.
Hey Ian sounds like you went through the mill. Broken back‼️‼️. I came off my bike after hitting a brick in the road and that was it for me. Just facial cuts etc but decided a car was the thing. I’m 71 Ian, how old are you, if you don’t mind me asking.
55yrs young Ticker, yea said same thing after the accident, not worth the risk.
Just a ‘little technicality’ Ian...Spall... but I’m not going to take humbridge over it.
Ah yes, typo haha, spell correction on the Samsung is to blame 🤷♂️😂
Of course I forgot that terribly not politically correct series " Are you being served" and the wonderful wonderful Morecambe and Wise show ( shows my age haha!) , "The Dave Allen show" , " The Two Ronnie's" . . .....
Definitely Blackadder and especially the first series which for some reason is never repeated. Goodness Gracious Me was funny too and more recently a comedy called Coupling.
Don't know "Coupling" but been absent from the UK for years now. I'll look it up 👍"Outsourced" was very amusing about a troubleshot American manager sent to an Indian call center. I used it with my French students for the different accents : Australian, Indian and American. Of course not on the same laugh out loud level as Blackadder.
We watch them over and over again Padayn01 ...never ceases to raise a laugh!!
Fawlty Towers is currently being repeated on BBC1. The first episode was on Monday last at 8:30pm so you could probably catch that on iPlayer then et the rest from Monday next week. Enjoy!
Fantastic stuff many thanks
Let’s hope it’s because he will stay on the forum. He is of great value to newcomers and spends a long time writing to help them.
I think it’s tremendously sad , Flapjack is and always has been, such a very valued contributor. I was aghast this morning when I looked back through some previous weeks posts and saw lot of controversies from varied sources. We are very lucky on this forum that people give their time freely and share knowledge. I have found it invaluable since I was diagnosed in 2018. Some posters might need to give their heads a wobble ,as life is difficult enough with heart issues , never mind that we’re a year into a Pandemic! Please don’t go looking for more difficulties from behind a keyboard .Flapjack is a very valued member of this community. I certainly know that FJ’s posts helped me a lot when I joined . Get out and enjoy the Spring sunshine . Take care everybody and be kind .
Maybe HealthUnlocked was acquired by Twitter. Probably not.
Amen Alessa69! "Please don't go looking for difficulties behind a keyboard". We've been suffering recently from a number of deliberately confrontative posts - usually on topics not AF related - it's not what this forum is about. I too will miss Flapjack and hope he returns. I also hope that this thread does not turn into another soapbox.
Exactly! I did wonder about putting my head above the parapet, but I felt it important to thank those who have helped me SO much . Fingers crossed 🤞 No one needs a Twitter adversarial style .
As said before and as above, its not strictly confined to AF only answers, would be boring if the whole world was the same. Shame FJ had left, no need , and I can't see any confrontation here, can you?, a little light and airy chat is allowed, we aren't Like Renee and Co, under Ze Germans... Yet!
Yes a valuable member and a big help to me.Come back we will miss you.
I am new to the forum and both Flapjack and Badger have been very helpful with advice. I hope they both keep contributing
I don’t know what caused the problem I r what was said originally. But AF is bad enough on its own and any help dealing with it is welcome
Agreed.Problem with A/Fib is that just having it can make one anxious as can Covid fears and isolation and if something else is going on as well then one really is in trouble. We all need kindness, tolerance, and forgiveness. I am sure no one intends to give offence. Sometimes things just come out wrongly. We come here for information and comfort and to know we are not alone.The internet has allowed one to make off the cuff comments and send them off with the press of a button rather than finding pen and ink paper and an envelope not to mention a stamp. By the time one had done all that and walked up to the post box it gave one thinking time and the letter could be rephrased to say things more tactfully or not at all.
I think watching something comic (personally I like Yes Minister and Yes PM) is a great uplifted of spirits as are the G&S operettas and The Marriage of Figaro. Wonderful tunes and happy outcomes.
Somewhere I heard that just holding a pencil horizontally between the teeth lifts the corners of the mouth which promotes endorphins and makes one feel a bit better. So smile even if you don’t want to and see if that helps. Let me know if it does
Oh Flapjack. I have no idea what this was about, but please come back. You were such a help.
Flapjack, I valued your contributions and found your posts very reasonable in tone.
I didn't see the post so maybe FJ made an unsuitable reply to Badger, for which he has apologised. We are all exhorted to be kind during these difficult times. Its very sad that a member who has given so much time and support to many of us seems to have been castigated and others have taken umbrage . Please sort it out and don't let hurt feelings spoil the forum. C'mon Badger and FJ, sort it out and let's carry on and put this spat behind us.
Badger hadn’t taken umbrage . In fact he was kind and generous in response . You can’t see that because it is on the disappeared thread
I did see the thread yesterday but didn't notice the post in question. and I was not talking about Badger, it was generally about some of the other posters who too FJ to task. I do think that the written word can be misinterpreted in the tone of a comment and mea culpa.
Whoa . . . what did I miss? Flapjack was an invaluable friend to me, against the dreaded AFIB when I was in the Cardiac Care Unit. What on earth happened. I really hope he will return as he will be sorely missed. Just think of all the people he has helped over the years.
Hi Had Flapjack’s original post not been removed all would have become clear to you
It seems that Flapjack had become a little weary with all the challenging posts and the replies that followed them( mostly off topic) that have appeared on the forum in the last 10 days or so.
And unfortunately things escalated from there.
He will , I sure, be missed by many
Mmmmm. Thank you. There has been a few posts of late that have raised eyebrows.
I put it down to people feeling incredibly isolated at the moment, conversing online is a skill that many do not possess unfortunately. Hiding behind a screen is all to common occurrence these days. It it not easy to convey tone and often things get misinterpreted. Plus everybody has their own sensitivities so it very easy to press a button when you were unaware of its existence in the first place.
Fingers crossed he comes back
😊
🤞
Hi....mrgwair567 is spot on, as we commented on Flapjacks original post.He will definitely be sadly missed!!
Flapjack ....... you are an asset we need xx
Hey Granny...that could be misconstrued as a ‘small ass’. Chuckle Chuckle Tee Hee. Come on you lot. Life’s toooo short‼️‼️
😂
I did not know he had gone. I thought he had just changed his name to "Hidden". I hope he comes back . His posts were always helpful
Get back on this forum flapjack or else.x
That's it Redders tell him straight, he may listen to you!
Yes, I saw it yesterday. 🖖🏻
I went in to afib with zero experience or know how - like many of you. When I asked for help I was greeted with the same response you see here all of the time - real help and advice. Much respect.
I hope the forum continues as it is - afibbers can continue to share their own experience and offer support. Both to new and old members. Afib can affect us all - regardless of gender, orientation, or race.
Paul
Absolutely spot on Paul.... well said 👍
I have been kicked off of forums frequently for being totally truthful. It seems that freedom of speech has gone bye bye in our world.
He created that account just to apologise to Badger , clearly seen on the removed post
