Better to Ramble than Gamble.

I was going to do you a pint but I'm undecided if you're a lager/cider/beer type of bloke..spec it's some up north brew that's your tipple....so here's a bar of chocolate instead...

Mmmm, cheers Lox 🙂

Martin,

Better late than never. Big congrats from Bal

7 more sleeps top man...
Just saying 🙂

Morning Birthday boy :)) .

Well it's not morning yet but as is the norm and if youv'e been out on the lash you won't know what time it is anyway :)) .

Seriously though Martin your one of the first I spoke to on here 2 yrs ago and I'm so glad weve come so far together , youv'e come along way since those dark early day's when everything for both of us was so uncertain and we took each day as it came .Be proud of what youv'e achieved mate , for all the time youve spent passing it forward on here and in the rooms , for being a great dad to your son and a wonderfull son to your proud parents and finally thank you so much for all the help youve given me along the way and I'm pretty sure there would have been times I'd have given up without you alongside :)) .

I'm not sure how GA works but I'm assuming there's a second pin in the offering ? So wear it with pride my old friend and if there isn't then just polish up the first years :))

I was going to try and do one of those fancy Cake and Champagne thing's you do but it would never come out looking as good as your's so I'll stick to frying fish :)) .

Have a great day Old friend celebrating your 2yr mark and I'll catch up with you soon .

All the best and much love Martin .

Mahooosive congrates on your two year celebration Martin. ..I was hoping to post last night when I closed up....but I got involved with a bottle of chilled wine after a busy shift. ...and basically couldn't see what I was doing on my phone !
Anyway.....I'm just going to agree with everything Mr cod said...you're a top top man who chose to turn his life around and I'm eternally grateful that you were here to welcome me into the fold...I'm sure you'll celebrate in style and probbally end up on the wobbly leg stuff over the weekend....and so you should...you darn well deserve it..
Xxx

Martin,

Many congratulations and welcome to the 2 year club...lol.

Our recovery strategies have been different but the end goal has remained the same. I am sure a few beers will be sunk this weekend and bal will raise a wee dram in your honour.

Best wishes.

Bal

Congratulations Martin!

Hard work, dedication...You are unrecognisable to the broken man that turned up here 🙂

Such an honour to have witnessed your growth 🙂

I know you're not here as much now but hopefully you stick around & keep giving us regular updates...It keeps the hope alive!

Congrats on the 2 years oldham and thanks for the support over the last year or so.

Hope you celebrate it in style.
