FTM - General Discussion New

Hi Sam

Thank you for running FTM/FTD so successfully for the last 17 years!!!
It's been a mainstay of the 'competitions' on the forum and enjoyed by many members.
We know it's been hard work for you at times, especially when both Andy and Jamie
were playing "week in, week out", but you coped admirably and it's very much appreciated.
:trophy:

I'm so sorry to hear how poorly you've been and had such a miserable Christmas.
Hope you can get past all that soon and start to enjoy life again properly.
:grouphug:

And it's good to know you'll still be posting!!!
Thank you again for all the time and effort you put in.
:flowers::thanks:::clap:

Thanks goldfish and Sally.

Yeah it was tricky sometimes to make sure both Andy and Jamie FTM/FTD set up especially during my uni days but I enjoyed doing it and it was fun for me otherwise I wouldn't do this for so long!

I am getting there better. I been recently said have asthma as well (I never thought I am at all), apparently it main reason why I keep coughing most of this year and refused to go away. Illness is getting better so almost there and now have inhaler to help my cough (that is not from cold).

Hope the inhaler helps Speedy. Viruses are a common trigger of asthma. I sometimes need to use an inhaler after getting colds and bugs etc, but rarely use one the rest of the time.

Sam, thank you so very much for the time and effort you have put into the FTM competitions. We all truly appreciate the time and effort this took. I believe I've been in from the beginning, along with many others, what a wonderful ride it has been and wonderful memories. Hopefully a few more to come.
Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Take care of yourself and look forward to you joining in with the banter without the worry of the FTM.
:thanks::cheer::clap::bravo:

cazza99: Yeah I needed antibiotics twice that year (2023) cos of virus so it probably most likely cause my asthma.

Genbrit: Thanks. It been great long run following Andy in tournaments!

Well, I could echo all this thanks to all the hard work by Speedy and have had similar coughs that took long time to go away and inhalers but Im fine the rest of the time.

And TBH its getting harder to find the time to do predictions as well as follow the matches. Its the first time in 15 years or so I havent done daily predictions.

And as a throwback, remember BOTB? Those were the days! I look back with rose tinted spectacles - even got the Lantern Rouge award once ! :)

Thanks Big Al. Feels strange I don't need do FTM/FTD anymore. It was my routine and now it not.

Yeah I think it probably permanent for me and now it almost year now.
