What a Shame !
Quote from jkwebster06 on May 21, 2025, 7:08 pmTwo months since anyone posted on this Forum, which is an absolute shame. I've deliberately held off in the forlorn hope that someone , ANY ONE, would contribute a meaningful discussion or topic. I posted one about Trump 2 months ago - now that should surely have generated some discussion, for or against him ? Despite 59 views no one took up the challenge, or better still, provided their own topic to talk about, it's remained "Viewed" but lacking any response.
They say you "reap what you sow" - well, I can see the subscription being due soon & wouldn't be surprised if Freddy doesn't renew. As I said, what a shame if the site fails purely because viewers can't, or won't, type a few sentences on life, their jobs, or their Service, especially in Detmold which the majority on here spent time in.
C'mon guys, don't let the site wither & die , it needs your help.

Quote from fpeall on May 22, 2025, 2:50 pmI too was beginning to wonder if there is anyone there? I even went on facebook to alert those members that they have their own website but no response. The site is funded until the end of the year but if there continues to be a singular lack of interest we will have to consider our position. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn is sadly true of our fallen comrades but I think surviving Carbs are now late seventies and eighties so I suppose age is now a factor. Keep well everyone. Freddy

I'm cautious about discussing medical matters on here but as I previously diagnosed with bladder cancer last year I had the operation and 6 sessions of chemo.
Went for a check up and they said there is something still there so another operation. Got the results of the biopsy on Tue 20th and I'm clear. Check up in 6 months. To say I am relieved and delighted is an understatement. Also had the Stent for my enlarged aorta checked and the chap said it looks OK. Check up in 3 months.
Difficult time but I'm glad its over.
Off to HMP Castle Huntly, the only open prison is Scotland, there are 17 in total, for my Monitoring Visit. Hope they let me out.
Really hope the site doesn't close.
