Farewell kids

When this moment came I was caught between just quietly disappearing or letting folks know.

After a ridiculous long life (tho I am not really an ancient Roman - well there is a 'hold my beer' shock), it is my time to become less of a waste of space.

Over 20 years I have really enjoyed my time here, C-4 and the old ABC Forum. My enjoyment has been obvious. Take care all of you.

From little kids onwards, I imagine all of us just fell in love with Test Cricket. That is one of the fine things that bind all us tragics.

Take care.

Horrie

Hope you’re well, and merely sick of logging on here.

Ditto. It won't be the same.

As Lardy said. Best wishes mate.

horrie gave me prior warning but it makes it no less hard to see him go.

I too hope that this is not a result a badly failing health.

Thanks for many great years of sparing, jousting and laughing.

You will be missed. Take care, old bean.

Worst.Flounce.Ever

All the best. It's been fun.

(As I intend hanging around for the foreseeable, will that bury or lend fresh cred to the old chestnut about me and Horrie being one and the same?)

Au revoir Swans fan.

Best wishes, horrie.

What can I say. I shall miss jousting with you Horrie. Go well.

Aw, come back!

Go well anyway, young man.

Why?  Goddamnit.

It's been a great pleasure.

And if its health reasons, I hope you be well.

At least Horrie was sane and rational during Football season, during the Summer was just another bitter vomit.
All the best Horrie, and hopefully will see you back here at some point.

FFS!,  He never went away.

Yikes. Patience

horrie, if you're as unwell as I imagine, hope you are in good hands

2nded.

I would like to thank everyone I have debated the great game with over a couple of decades with on this and other Forums.

Apologies to those for whom my irritating posting persona proved too much. Some time I hope posters like Zat and Zimmy return to this joint, have fun and add to the place.

Ultimately everyone who posts here loves cricket. We all know that and respect it.

I am no longer in a position to post. Best wishes to you all and the future of Test Cricket.

A sad day, whatever else. And whatever the details may be.

And I can only echo a bit later on what Lardbucket posted above, a while ago, but it seems always overhanging.

Stay well H.

Damn h, that is hella sad.

Stay safe, old cock.

Qmy has gone missing recently and now h.

The place is falling apart at light speed.

does that make me the token grumpy Vic now?

All the best Horrie. A Sydney win with a team of kids and NSW getting the bum's rush for 32 all adds up to a good note to bow out on, I'd imagine
