As most of you would know by now i have terminal inoperable cancer. Over the last few weeks my condition has deteriorated quite rapidly to the extent of me having a nice tan of yellow and eyes that make me look like i'm on heroin or something. Being unable to hold any food down most of the time means i've got virtually no fat and sleeping is terribly uncomfortable.

Anyway as i may not get the chance to speak to all of you individually i just want to thank everyone on QGL who has been a part of my life and who i've shared good times with there are so many of you i wouldn't dare make a list in fear of forgetting someone, i wish you and your families all long peaceful healthy lives.

At the moment i'm looking like being admitted to hospital within the next week, unfortunately up in gladstone by the looks of things, and my father just told me i need to fill out some form to decide whether or not i want to be revived when i fall unconcious :(

As far as a funeral goes, i've insisted that i want it in Brisbane so all my friends can gather, everyone is welcome and when the day finally comes my mother or father will likely post on here to let you know of my passing.

Good Luck to all in the new year
Kind Regards,
Dale.

s*** man, I don't know what to say.

Well it was a pleasure knowing you mate and I'm glad I got to hang with you a few times. Always been an awesome guy and I really have no idea what the f*** to write. This is really weird.

/cries

oh man doode... so sorry to hear man. Good luck with everything mate :(

Mate absolutely f***ing speechless atm.

I have trolled these forums for quite a few years now and have only recently decided to start posting, i regret not getting to know you earlier otherwise i would have most definitely shouted you a drink if i ever ran into you.

Best of luck man, i dont care what anyone says, i know i will run into you down the track up top and i'll shout u that beer.

The brightest flame burns quickest. I'll be there to say goodbye mate.

I never got to meet you Dale but you always came off as a really positive person. You have some serious balls being able to post something like this and I'm sure you'll be sorely missed. Godspeed.

I hope it all goes down in a way where you can keep your dignity dude. Either now or in a long long time.

Wow man. Sorry to hear it has come down to this. Muchos respect.

I admire your positive attitude in such harsh times, best of luck and stay strong.

Sad to hear it dude, glad I made it back here in time to say goodbye though. Can't say I ever knew you well, but I knew you well enough to know you're a good bloke, and to respect the way you've played the s***ty cards you were dealt these past few years.

You've been a part of this little community for as long as I care to remember, and I know you'll be missed by a lot of us.

Dale,

I just want to let you know that I think extremely highly of you, and you're one of the bravest fellas I have ever come into contact with. From giving you advice on joining the army years ago, to hanging with you a couple of times at the RE, I've come to know you as an absolutely awesome guy with a heart of gold and impeccable style. You're a fighter, and you should be proud of what you have acheived and accomplished. Hold your head high. Seeya mate.

Dude... you are so my hero for today!

Stay strong and spend what you got left with pride and surrounded by people who love and care for you.

We will miss you.

Hope the rest of your days, however many you have left are the best of your life Dale.

:sadface:

i hope you go peacefully.

Chilling words, just reading it made the hair on my neck stand up.
Don’t know how you wrote that Mav, but you must have a tonne of guts to face the future so calm and collected. Best of luck

http://trog.qgl.org/up/peace.jpg
Peace and love.

My you find peace flaming in the giant forum in the sky.

Seeya in 60 or so years I guess.

Never really had a chance to know you Mav. It was good though knowing that little bit about you and how it has changed the life of others. Congrats dale

I hope you've watched those dvd's deary!!!

I didn't go to all that effort of stalking you for nothing!! Anyway, Merry christmas! (i know its late) and i'll talk to you in the new year matey!

p.s. it took me about 15 minutes to actually read all of what you said, i cant say that it totally shocked me having talked to you about your weight, and photos etc, but your still a sexy boy to me, as you have been right from the beginning of my qgl posting days.

grunt is sexy !

;) much love for you...

i need to fill out some form to decide whether or not i want to be revived when i fall unconcious :(

I'd Get an NFR directive if I were you, the chances of being brought back without any permanent damage aren't great.
And in your condition, I don't believe it would be worthwhile coming back, and the chances of a successful resuscitation even smaller than a healthy person.

Goodluck Dale, We'll have a few beers in the next life matey.

Hey buddy this really sux what is happening to you. I'm glad I got the chance to know you in person, but yeh... its hard to write s*** cuz I have no idea what to say. Peace out Dale, I hope the next few weeks go easy on ya.

Dale, I don't know you at all, but after all the kind words from these people on QGL, you seem like such a great bloke. Best of luck with everything - as someone has already said "The brightest flames always burn quickest".

Scott Hamilton

:(

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Your courage and outlook on life is an inspiration to myself and I'm sure many other people on this forum. I'm not going to use any past tenses because you haven't gone yet, but I'm glad you're a part of this community and you're a top bloke that I'm glad I know. Good luck and try and enjoy New Years!

Very Sorry to hear Dale, I have chatted to you a few times, ironically when you first where diagnosed and I gave you my experience with my mother Having Cancer.

All I can say is I hope your in a calm state of mind, All your QGL family are praying for you.

Good Luck Grunt/Mav

i had a feeling that this thread was going to be coming around soon enough. You see people with inoperable cancer on tv shows all the time yet you always do a double take when it happens to someone who isn't an actor. It brings a certain worrying reality to our short lives.

I've been following your story since the first time it was mentioned on here and the way you have dealt with the challenges that you have faced has been inspirational to say the least. You had balls to refuse the final treatment and choose your own path in life - its almost unfitting that your final time will be spent in a hospital... it might be an idea to spend them at home / hawai / playing CS.

loosing someone with balls such as yours is a f***ing waste of good hardware. I hope to f*** the respawn time isn't long and that they have a rather large group of blonde lesbians waiting for you.

Glad I met you at least once bro. I'll remember you.

a rather large group of blonde lesbians waiting for you

give him a break. i hope they're bi.

lol opps

I'm speechless... and I've never had the chance to speak to you in real life. To write what you did must have taken a kind of strength and resillence i wish i had. I think everyone else has said everything already. Peace

sad to hear that dale... (its reverend we spoke on the phone when you were in the RBWH) my thoughts and best wish's go with you champ...keep up the good fight stranger things have happened.
Tom Ewing

i dont know what to say, i never had the chance to meet you, which is a real loss on my part. never the less your a stand up man and i couldnt go past this thread without saying i respect and admire you greatly.

Hey Mav, just wanted to say something in here for you.

Was fun knowing you man and even though the only time i saw you in person was to road rage you, you're a mad dog. Always a shame we never got the have that Box-on man. Best of health for as long as possible, and I'm thinking you have it in you to do a bit better than a couple of weeks man.

Best of luck Mav.

Death is upon us all..

All the best cuz, if you need money for medical treatment or money in general let me know, i'll be more than happy to donate a few hundred dollars.

I had a few canceres moles taken out from my body a few weeks back... doctor reckons i was lucky i got in early.

My father-in-law passed away on the weekend from an inoperable cancer and while this doesn't mean I have any idea what you're going through, I know how your family would be feeling. Be strong Dale.

"Too right!"

i always read your update posts and drew strength from your strength

good luck and remember to always smile

Ah man, knew i'd read this here one day. So sorry to hear its come to this man. Just want to say that reading your posts on here have been pretty eye opening, your definitly a strong willed man and you have handled this in a very admiral way. Cant really say much else other than sorry to hear and i hope it everything works out as peacefully as possible for you and your family. You'll be missed dude.

mav,
i forgive you for the whole jimmy barnes thing
love
spook

I wouldn't know you from the next trendy metrosexual (gender determined from Billy's pics) but you've got a big pair of cahunas mav!

Keep partying till the end and best of luck!

Hey Dale...


you know, i've known u for new yeears day in 2005... and it was an honour to meet u. You have become a great friend to me, and when i introduced you to some of my friends, they still till this day speak very highly of you, and always ask how you are.

so remember man, no matter how short ur life is, in my eyes and im sure in yours you have lived it to its fullest. never have i met such a champion, a man so full of life. I remember when we were going to the gym together, you were so enthusiastic, and that just the reflects the kind of man you are. You give everything you got in life to whatever task needed doing. I'm sure cancer broke some of your dreams, but you know... man, you've achieved alot in you're life and you should be very proud.

i can honestly say man, that since knowing you, i personally have benifitted just by being around you and hopefully i brought some form of happiness or enjoyment to your life as well. had some good times with ya hahah ;)

you know i had been in denial about all this till i just read this post... and i must admit, although it is sad news... im gonna do my best to be happy, and i want to celebrate your life. If there is one lesson i can learn from you dale, its to live life just the way you do... ON THE EDGE ! haha

you're a champion mate, and i will never forget you.

i will be there to say good bye dale. You're in my prayers champ.

man, you never know ill probably see ya soon anyway just relaaaaaaaaaaaaaax !

I was just wondering what sort of cancer do you have?

From memory bowel?

Fark dale, im so sorry duder
I'm shocked, stunned and gutted. Your the biggest champ, even after all the s***-f***-dick of cards you have been delt you have still kept you chin up and your hawtness ensuring, I will miss you buddy, truly I will. the few times I went out with you i have fun watching you enjoy life for the sake of enjoying life.
hopefully you bounce back off this, and show us what a machine you are and have been. Best of luck dale. I will be there if you do pass on and you will stay in my prayers and as a very fond memory.

Strength and Honour Dale,

Never knew you , but I have seen more than my fair share of ppl traverse the void.

I applaud your courage, it is a rare thing in this world.

Good luck on the other side, hope the trip is smooth, dignified and made in the company of loved ones.

Lurking QGL since Q2? Jesus dude, you should have joined in sooner and shared some good internet times with mav

Only met you once at skirmish, but you went out of your way to make me feel comfortable with a bunch of strangers.

Damn this world sucks :(

Peace and Respect dude

Mav/Grunt/Dale - sad news mate, though being terminal cancer I guess you knew the day would come one day, doesn't make it any easier or any better.

I just hope your last few weeks/months aren't too painful and that you can pass on without to much discomfort.

Mate, I tell ya, the big C is everywhere, just since I've been over here 3 people in my family have been diagnosed and since had operations and cross fingers should be in the all clear, but dead set I rekon EVERYONE knows SOMEONE with cancer, it f***ing sux.

P.S. you are an OK guy even though you wore Pink polo shirts with the collar popped :p

Seriously, take it easy and I hope the last few weeks/months aren't too hard on you or your family.

Peace bro

Something that always brightens my day is A:lights and B:4x4ing, check out todays trip.

Stinky getting the f*** out
http://www.aus4wd.com/files/images/ormeau_29_12_06/DSC00916-sml.JPG

Gave it a good thrashing(including jumping) testing mods i'd just done and of course added some extra carnage to the list.
Todays Carnage:
1 Blew a steering pump hose(had to cut that fan belt which also did the alternator. so no power steer or power to charge the dual batterys.
2 Bent LHS trailing arm mount(the one thats welded to the chassis). So same sortta effect as the bent trailing arms or trailing arm rubber mounts except harder to fix. no biggie will have to heat it up with the oxy and bend/bash it back into place, then deffinately brace it up with a couple mount to chassis rods. So im back to driving sideways again heh
3 Aircon compressor that i just got fixed up and working has s*** the compressor clutch. So will pull it off and see what i can do with it.
4 New exhaust mod came off and got bent a couple time but just bent it back into shape and chuck it back on. all good till i do it proper.
5 Rear guards and rear bar got some loven, all bent and shizzle.

Your movie is on dude!

mav i've never met you but i know people who have and they all reckon you're an absolute mad c*** - i hope you find peace and happiness no matter what happens :(

Mad c*** indeed - I haven't seen ya all that much, moreso recently but you were a crazy lil pasty white bastard back in 03 when I met you for the first time :)

I wish you all the best with everything dude. Peace.

Peace and respect to you and your family Dale.

i have never met you and probably never will but ive been following your story since you joined the board. It was one of those things that made me think what would i do if i was that guy or where would life take me.. but as far as qgl posters go, dude you take the cake for not only being possibly the most well known but most respected out of all of us.

much respect and best of luck.

ps. if i do ever meet you il take you for a drive in my supra, i don't really have much else to offer

Never met you mate, but you've always been a stand up guy around here.

Good luck, you'll be missed by a lot of people.

hey mav/dale

never met you in rl, but i always enjoyed your contribution to this forum/community.

very sorry to hear mate, try to stay positive, and i pray your family might be able to be close to you - the most important thing.

ill be praying for you mate

nick

Cancers a pretty f***ed way to go

your fam and friends while they dont want you to go will be releaved when you do. I guarantee they won't forget ya. Probably the most inspiring person I ever knew died when she was 19 and years on I'm still gutted. But I see flashes of her here and there in people, so she'll always be with me.

Sorry mate.

dale, i remember meeting you that first time we decided to go clubbing after talking about it for ages on irc. you're such a champ

you're a hit with the girls, and anyone else you meet. i won't forget picking you up from the valley at like 10am after you tapped that girl you hooked up with when we went clubbing another time

won't forget you chief

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support i don't really know what to say from that except thankyou.

I originally had colorectal cancer with secondry to my liver and metastis(sp) to my lungs.

Mav, never met you in real life but I like many other of the qgl gang have been following your struggle.

Dude, sometimes in the last few yrs I've thought that I had it tough and I was a whinging, negative person etc. But its guys like you that make us all realize that there is always someone worse off and they are usually fighting on and staying postive no matter what!

You are an inspiration mate.

I know I don't post here much but I have been reading for long enough to know that you are an amazing person mav. You have always maintained a positive, lively attiitude to life even when you have faced one of life's most difficult challenges. You are an inspiration to us all mate.

Mav any horse tips ;)??

ahha drunk bastard ctd, yeh i remember, good old foam party days...

of coure chub always got horse tips, never any good though :P

s*** I thought you were over all that, though I haven't been reading here as frequently lately.

you will be missed

Mav, nothing can really express in words what your family and friends must be feeling now, I am glad you were a part of this small community and bought happiness to those around you.

I stickied it for you Mav, so we don't forget anytime soon.

yeah to be honest i thought you were out of the woods with all this stuff, got a really sad shock to read this thread :(

Same, I thought you were all better :_(

That's just crappy news and I feel for you. All through this you have been very upbeat about it all and that takes courage and strength. Very sad news but we wish you all the best.

All the best dude, you set the becnhmark very high for the rest of us.

I've been lurking these forums since the pre-ANZ QGL LANs and seldom find the need or desire to post but this is a huge exception.

From following your journey through the posts you have made on this board I can honestly say I am a better person for having known of you. You have shown incredible balls and courage and the way you look on life is truly inspirational. I hope the next few weeks are some of the best in your life and my prayers are with you.

I'm very sorry to hear this maverick, ever since you made that first post about your being diagnosed with cancer i have always felt sorry for you to have to go through this. Having known someone who was diagnosed with cancer go through the same thing.

I think everything i could say has already been said.

So take care, mate.

of coure chub always got horse tips, never any good though :P

Hook me up something Mav... if it comes in I'll netbank it over for ya :)

I'm a horse noob, so you might have to be very specific :D

edit: lol @ bowflex infomercial on TV, I bet if you were watching you would get a laugh out of it :)


last edited by CHUB at 00:19:41 01/Jan/07

I've been posting sometimes but reading qgl over the past 3 or so years and followed your story Mav. It's so harsh that it's come to this but you sound like a top bloke and will truly be missed by the community. Be strong mate.

All the best for you and your family, may you remaining days be filled with love from those closest and dearest to you.

:(

Talk to your parents about what you want the QGL drones to do when the day arrives. If you want them to attend parts of the service, funeral, wake or just stay the f*** away.

I don't know how comforting having hundreds of random gamers come to some aspect of your funeral would be for your family. Although, I suppose it might give you some comfort because you can prove, once and for all, that you didn't waste your life playing games, you joined a community of friends.

Mav - if you come back and haunt me, I'm going to punch you in the f***.

Hah :)

I'm still waiting on a horse for ya grunt!

not sure what to say Mav. But good luck to you and ur entire family.

I don't think I've ever met you, I do remember idle online chit-chat tho. After reading your post I shed some tears, not an easy feat. I guess it shows the kind of person you are, even in simple passing.

May you live your dreams for eternity.

Much love and well wishes.
Take care :)

For once I'm having troubles coming up with what to post...

From everything I have read about you on these forums it seems like you lived your life to the fullest. I don't think I could ever live up to such an example, but you set the bar so high. You have been and will continue to be an inspiration to all the lives that you touched.

I don't know what to say - i never knew you, i may have bumped into you but never knew.

Whatever happens within the next 2 weeks or so i wish your family and friends all the best.

Thats all i can think to say right now...

With a heavy heart, goodbye Mav. Your a brave young man and you have my respect always.

Speechless... Absolutely speechless...


Qgl-Re-drinks night oh so long ago was the place.. and good times were had..

Can't say i've met a stronger person.. both in character and determination..

Props to you sir...

Not really the place.. but,

On a side note is the charity aspect you ran a little while ago still running? Or would direct donations to say the Queensland Cancer fund be a better option?

Naturally you would have expected the time to have come Dale, it is a shame, however, that it was sooner rather than later.

You've been through a long haul and i can say with all honesty that every member of the board respects your courage, endurance, bravery and determination. You are truly one of the forum greats.

Take care pal.

You've done it with style mate, be proud.

Respect!

On a side note is the charity aspect you ran a little while ago still running? Or would direct donations to say the Queensland Cancer fund be a better option?

I was also wondering the same thing... If not which would you prefer money be donated to?

Go in peace Mav, you did what you could in this short life - be happy for that.

I've found it hard reading this thread and try to come to words to say something but I just don't know what to say. I am really lost for words and I can only feel that trying to express this in a forum will never bring any true expression of empathy. I, like others, have kept wind of your story over the past years and my hopes and prayers will be with you Dale.

Devastated to hear the news mate, like others, I don't know you but have followed your story on the personal journal of yours and through this message board. You've touched so many people.

http://trog.qgl.org/up/IMG_2247.JPG

We've had some awesome times together - I won't forget them, or you.

xxoo peace

P.S. OOPS ^ that's actually from me ;)

And I'm sure he won't forget you!

that chicks eyes are scarey.

i was actually sober there believe it or not, nubbin is just hilarious and i couldn't stop laughing at her. ;)

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you mean laughing WITH me, right?!

oh yer.. that's what i meant.

mav, pm

Woah! Who is that giving the peace sign in the background?

And I'm sure he won't forget you!

heh heh, yeah.

100th post in a champion thread

epic thread, not champion thread

gypsy in the background. "You will become involved with a stranger..."

I'm really sad to see this thread. I know you have cancer mav, but after a long spell without an update thread (and you were still posting regularly) i thought you had beaten it. I am sincerely sorry to hear otherwise. You're a brave man and an exemplar of how to keep you're chin up when the s*** hits the fan.

I know you will enjoy the time you have left and please know that we are all better off for having known you (even if only on an online forum).

arg dont get around here much anymore but when i do this isnt wat i want to see

we'll always have the time we got s***faced at dans then went to the re that night...

good luck little dude ;)

I don't think we have met mav, maybe down at the RE or something. But I wish cancer on no person. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. Your next goal is 2008! GO!

Original Poster is AAA+++++++. Would recommend to my sister.

sad to hear. I wish you all the best. and goodluck with the pack of lesbian/bi blondes.

Despite not knowing you I can recognise a legend just from reading about your battle and how you've survived these last few years.
I imagine words from a stranger can't hold much credence at a time like this but I wish I got to know you better, you're an inspiration to everyone who's life you've touched

Best wishes to you and your family.

Thanks guys i went to the docs yesterday and got some anti nausea pills and some pain patches which knock me the f*** out make me even more tired then normal but man i slept well last night, if anyone saw me with these suckers on they'd think i was giving up smoking lol..

Anyways my dad has organised for me to get pallative care so this nurse chick comes and visits me once a week and makes sure i'm okay and i ring her if i need her but i told them i don't want to go to hospital so dad has been really good looking after me cleaning up my spew buckets multiple times a day lol, not something i could do just the sight of spew/someone else spewing makes me gag...

so this nurse chick comes and visits me once a week and makes sure i'm okay and i ring her if i need

Is she hot? If so, I'd "ring" her too. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nuge* say no more.

I hope you get to "ring" her heaps.

nah she is an older lady, not like old old but she the first thing i noticed about her is she has hairy knees.. so no go.. lol

The least they could do is get a hot chick to "make sure you're ok" two or three times a week.

Does she give you sponge baths?

i get hairy knees sometimes okay.

that's probably why i never dated you.
ZING!

yeah when my dad said she was coming for the first time i was just praying all day she'd be hot but ahh well.. im sure if she was hot i would just become lazier then i already am

i pledge $20 to the "get mav a hot nurse" foundation.

do you accept paypal?

ps. i am serious.

"get mav a prostitu... nurse"

i hope you have done it to a chick, Mav

have you?

pls don't insult his sexc

hey there dale, met you a few times man and you are a top bloke so sorry and sad to hear this news. best wishes to you and your family

jimmy

i hope you have done it to a chick, Mav

have you?

Have you?

P.S. you're life long heterosexual partnenr doesn't count.

Typo did it with manlisa

Typo did it with manlisa

Blaming others for your own deeds is an act of someone with deep mental issues.

Man tissues ?

Was that pre or post op?

It had holes b4 and after LOLOLOLOL

Man tissues ?

We don't want to know what sort of sick depraved actions you committed.

Dale,

Like many have said, I don't know you on a personal basis, however I know you well enough online to know that you are a f***ing amazing, strong person, and seeing how you have dealt with this horrible affliction has had a tremendous impact on both this community as a whole, and myself personally.

I can whole-heartedly tell you honestly, that you have been, and will continue to be a huge inspiration to myself, and for that, I sincerely thank you.

Apart from that, I really have no f***ing idea what to say. I'm literally speechless.

You are going to be sorely missed, I f***ing guarantee you.

Jesus christ.

Dale, I consider myself unfortunate to have never had the pleasure of your company :(

Still, having read a great many of your posts over the years, I must say its been an honour :)

I completely agree with all the heartfelt sentiment shown in this thread, and add my voice to the overwhelming chorus by saying you will definately be missed, Sir.

for the love of God - surely someone here has an 'easy' sister who doesn't have hairy knees...

we'll keep Manlissa on standby just in case...

for the love of God - surely someone here has an 'easy' sister who doesn't have hairy knees...

I think that has already been covered.

Dale, I've umm'd and ahh'd and generally written about ten posts over the past two weeks and ended up deleting them purely becuse I'm completely gobsmacked and have no idea what to say. I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but by all accounts your behaviour here on the forums and what I've heard about you from the people who did meet, clearly put you up there in the 'true champion' echelon.

Like many others, you've been a source of inspiration to me as someone who could constantly overcome adversity and keep a positive spin on things. Never once did I see you complain about your illness or use it as some sort of crutch to help you up, or solicit pity from another person. You never allowed yourself to be "Dale the poor cancer kid", you were always just yourself. Knowing that you constantly just got on the job has stopped me from falling into pathetic selfish delusions of self-pity, knowing that on a scale of 1-100, anything I was going through at the time doesn't even compare to what you've experienced.

I wish I could've gotten to know you a little better over the years, and now I'm kicking myself because I didn't. Stay strong to the end, and know that you've left this world having made a positive impact on many people and thats all anybody can ever ask for.

Please let us know if there's any foundation or organisation who has looked after you to which I can make a donation.

I haven't participated in this thread until now because i didn't want others judging me by what i say. Dale knows that i care and thats all that matters.

I've met dale once, we've spoken online for a long time now, and yes he is a great guy, and i think he knows it.

The reason why i'm posting only now though is that i have he hasnt been on msn almost 2 weeks and im worried. I went to send him a message on my mobile yesterday.. i must have lost his number when i changed phones, im not sure.

Is there anyone here who knows where he is right now, how he is feeling, whats his health status? Dale are you still posting?

he is not doing very well unfortunetly, he cannot talk, they have increased morphine etc :(**

It's not fair that ANYONE should be used as an example of how cruel life can sometimes be, but the strength you've shown is truly inspirational. Thankyou for sharing some of your time with us. You will be greatly missed by this world, by those who've known you, and those that could have.

Many thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Ohhhh, I never really thought it would come to this, we knew it was coming but we always denied and wanted to believe it wouldn't.
Many times out on town and those silly raps on the dictaphone you used to make won't be forgotten.

I think of you often, Dale. Especially when I fill the tomato bowl! I will never forget your courage. I will never forget your smile. (Billy's Mum)

Dales Mum here... Im heading up to see him tomorrow, so if anyone has any messages they would like me to pass on to him, then please feel free to email them to my email address on my profile and I will print them out and take them up with me. He mostly sleeps and is too unwell to get online, so I will read out what has been left in the thread. :)

I'd leave a message here to remind you of the good times we had.... but I don't really think any details in said message should go via your mum!

hahaha Im sure nothing would surprise me......
