Most missed member of the board?

I always liked Easy_. I know he was banned but I think he came back under a different username and didn't post that much. Can't remember what the username was.

I wonder if he will be on here.
 
At the moment the old board goes back to 2013. Although thread titles can be tracked back earlier than that the threads themselves are not visible (to my knowledge).

At the moment it is unclear whether anything of the old board will be preserved or not. That is why I am trying to get a bit of nostalgia going on here. As everything from the FMTTM message board from the past might disappear altogether in the not too distant future.

spanishman from soon after I moved to Spain in 2004. spanishman1 then spanishman2 after that (for various reasons to do with the board).

I cannot remember my username before that. Also, I cannot find a copy of the board old enough for me to try to find it again. There used to be catflaporama to help at one point.
 
Thanks, it's good to be back. Been over 5 years since I posted, and I see there's still a lot of recognisable names on here, which is really good to see. My family and myself have been thru some crap over those 5 years. We moved from Florida in 2015, to Nerja in Spain. Lovely place, lived down by the beach, which was noisy with daft Brits singing "Here we go" at stupid O'clock, so we moved up into the mountains by Frigiliana. I fell ill, and was diagnosed with pancreatitis, very painful and 3 weeks in Malaga hospital. Then a month later, back in boring hospital again for 3 weeks. I drove back to the UK for my son's wedding in October, and a couple of days after that, I was rushed to James Cook Hospital with very high blood sugar and terrible pain. I was then taken to Freemans Hospital, and spent 4 weeks in intensive care, and 5 more weeks trying to get better. The doc there found the real problem was cancer of the parathyroid gland had caused my calcium level to be 12 times to high. That calcium level had basically destroyed my pancreas and sent me into type 2 diabetes .. I lost 6 stone, and looked like a bloody skeleton, and I came very close to pushing up the daisies. Fought like hell to beat it, and with the help of the NHS doctors and nurses, I managed not to shuffle off this mortal coil .. Had a rented house in Spain with all our stuff in it, and we left all that to buy a house in "Hartlepool" .... ! Still have to have tests and take a lot of meds, but I'm still alive and kicking. I heartily and sincerely thank the magnificent NHS for all they did for me, that institution should be fully funded and never taken for granted.

It's good to be here to post this, apologies if it was a bit lengthy, but it feels good to get it off my chest.

Jesus I teared up reading that. I’ve only been posting for about 4/5 years but used to read the board before that and remember you very well . Glad to hear your on the mend. Stay well (y)
