Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated

Hey all,

Long time no see. (Apart from those who picked up glass recently and said hey)

Sorry for being away for so long but I've not been very well. Lost the use of my hand for a while which wasn't great but it's back now, with a lot of skin irritation on my palm (high voltages, hairy palms and hot weather don't mix ;) )

I've been on forums for most of my internet life and have got very bored of what goes along with it all. Trolls, constant wars, etc. So I tend to shy away from all the drama and conflict it all brings. The thing that's brought me back is that the pinball community is actually really nice when we all come together and do nice things.

I'm still about and doing pinball things at that pinball club in Croydon that's not a trampoline place. (unless we buy a trampette) It's a lot of work but very interesting to work on so many different machines and see how all the different things work and then go "yeah, maybe that's not the best Idea" but it can be overwhelming and I can't do two things at the same time so if I seem rude or angry when you meet me, it's not you, it's just another bloody pinball problem. :D

Pinball has helped immensely with my mental health over the years and I thank you all for being my friends, past, present and future.

Stay cool daddio.

Hope we can catch up at some events this summer mate, Pinfest maybe? Would be great to see you again. You're one of the most charismatic dudes I've met in this hobby and a bloody nice guy all round 👍
 
And @Neil McRae was practicing on my Rollergames for IDISC even though he hates it. Watch if the magnet works, you can sweep them for a lock if you get it just right, otherwise loop ramp combo all day DEVISTATING!
