DJ360 6,721 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Quote CliffTon: For whom or what? For the whole site. My other favourite.. pinkfishmedia.net ...just passed 3 million posts a couple of days ago and currently has over 30000 members worldwide. I've been a member on there since 2003 and the site traces its origins back to well before that. Like many sites.. its original purpose, which was to provide a forum for discussion of all things related to music, and home Hi-Fi, as well as a platform for the owners' second hand record business.. has somewhat broadened over time. It now includes lively discussion of photography, music, audio, DIY Audio, Vintage Hi Fi etc.. The 'Off Topic' forum includes discussion of almost anything from sport, current affairs, and politics, to members helping each other with advice on a vast range of topics. As with NS.. I've met a fair few PFM members over the years, although rather than 'Meet Ups', hi-fi geeks tend to have 'bake offs' where they meet at somebody's house and compare the size of their speakers... Whatever members on here might think of (some of) the discussion on PFM, it is a very well run and moderated site, which is easy to navigate. https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like your son has realised it’s a ‘special day’ Mary. I doubt whether it will be remembered by our two sons …… although last year they turned up together (200 mile round trip) for a quick Sunday roast, despite us being in lockdown at that time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hello folks, I'm not dead (yet) but I am quite unwell. On March 5th I had a bit of an accident at home when I lost my balance and fell very awkwardly. I was alone and on the floor, trapped between various items of furniture. I tried to free myself but that only made things worse. I was like this for nearly twelve hours -during which time I became pretty desperate. I was eventually rescued to discover that I was completely paralysed from the waist down. Off to A&E. After all the preliminaries – and a fall from the trolley, a bed was found for me. Next day I was in intense pain in my left hip, thigh and knee. I reported this to the staff and to cut a few days out of the situation, it was discovered that I have advanced (metastatic) prostate cancer I was hospitalised until a few days ago. I am at home now, still unable to walk and in quite a lot of pain. I have a hospital bed on the ground floor and have to be assisted to the commode at its side. Oh well! That's life. Thank goodness for morphine. I will write more when I feel a bit better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Ive only just been able to get online and look at NS as we've had a thunder storm and various power cuts. Jonab I 've been thinking about you lately and wondering why you weren't posting. I'm so sorry to hear of your illness and your fall. It must have been so frightening and worrying for you. It was such a long time to be alone with no one to help you. I do hope that you will recover soon and are able to face your other health issues positively. Wishing you all the best. Take care.
