AdamW

While I'm on the topic of "missing" folk, does anybody know what happened to AdamW?

It seems he last posted April 2006. I wonder why he disappeared?

Is that the Adam who's Mum died? Or was that another one.

There used to be a Fred Flintstone in the plastering forum that disappeared without a trace.

You can't escape the thought that people out there do get ill and die. Do have heart attacks etc.

joe, it was adam151 whose mother passed away.

Bring back Softus. Or has he returned, like BAS did?

I dont frequent the fora as much as I once did. I have a girlfriend now.

You rang?

It was a bit of a surprise to see my user ID on the forum, how are you Simon?

I had to cut myself off... Forums can be addictive, but when you've got one chock full of interesting and knowledgeable folk, it's damn hard to pry yourself away sometimes! I found that I was neglecting other parts of my life (namely sleep and work) and would often be up at the wee small hours chucking in my two pen'orth.

I spent about 2 years completely away from the forum, then I bought a house as a fixer-upper and thought "Hey, I should get back onto DIYnot!". After what can only be described as a "George Best relapse", i.e. the first time I came back on I was up until 4am reading all about people's views on the issues of the day... then I realised I needed to be careful

All sounds rather silly, and to be honest, it is!

Since then, I created a pseudonym and do my best not to spend too long on here, although I do occasionally spot a juicy topic on the general chat and just can't help myself! Trying to be less opinionated nowadays, with partial success.

What I remember about SecureSpark (correct me if I'm wrong!)
Electrician, formerly food scientist, vegetarian, owns a sodastream, called Simon, once dug a ruddy big hole in the middle of a beach with his boys (I remember the photo), has a beard and drives an Octavia (although I accept that may have changed in 5 years!)... all off the top of me head!

What's been happening in your world since August 2006?

Back in my days of spending most of the night on here, I used to tell my girlfriend I'd stayed up looking at po*n...




That way she didn't try it on and I had more energy to carry on posting the next morning

Well for a start he's got rid of the sodastream called Simon!
