After a long break, that nutjob, Wibble The Lobster and I e-bumped into one another and after a barrage of abuse, he reminded me I’d posted this on your board many years ago which is in some archive here.

Some of you will be too young to recall but there was a time that Ar***al was a big club, Chelsea (European Champions) wallowed season after season in mid-table mediocrity and T*ttenh**m were a comedy act who were perpetually going to sign the equivalent of Messi etc (some things don’t change then). Incidentally that is still a club that makes my hackles rise and earned me the nasty slur by some of the older members here of being a closet loathsome gooner *shudder*. Mind you the upside of being a Chelsea fan in those days to those days of being in your shadow was that we weren’t owned by a classless pampered fool and his gutless board and shackled to failed Scouse-spaniards like the Fat Spanish Waiter and that overpriced dunce of a striker.
Anyhow, in my last days here I pleaded on this message board with you to step up and register for the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow thing - these days you have to be under 30. Appropriate then, that bumping into Wibble The Lobster as he climbed out of the lunatic asylum bog window to freedom pursued by guard dogs and men in white coats, should have coincided with closure to my story. My marketing people saw fit to put this on my company website.

These guys need you to volunteer. Even loathsome gooner bone marrow is better than nothing.
And I know a lot of you did and I sincerely hope you get the chance I did. To stand in the street with a gentle father sobbing thanks for the life of his fine son was f*cking embarrassing but utterly moving and I will achieve no finer reward in my life than that. To be frank ,even if the recipient does cark it, you will have given a family hope.
To old chums Marion, Dr Hedgehog, that Norwegian nutter with the horns on his hat and all the others - my renewed best wishes and drop me an e-mail some time.
Chris – betcha never thought you’d get this big eh?
Yours aye
