so, in the last 16 years (in no particular order) i have: got very fat and then back to normal again twice; become a father to my son Rocky who is now 15; fell in love twice and had my heart broken 3 times; been to jail; moved into my own flat after 15 years as an itinerant; seen 4 prime ministers come and go under governments from all 3 major parties if you include the coalition;; seen the Sisters 13 times with 4 different guitarists and 2 nurses playing 9 new songs with no new releases; lost more heroes than i care to recall but most painfully Lemmy, Bowie, Lux and Ronnie James Dio; lost more brothers than a man deserved to have in the first place; seen the world fall apart from covid and the mighty Liverpool win their first ever Premiership and first League title in 30 years....so much more that Is personal and no doubt even more that i cant even remember

most pertinent to this post i have met all of you, either online or i was lucky enough to meet you for real and some of you are amongst my very best friends in the world.
this place is Special and I love you all very much...even those of you I don't.
