Den Tyler This HOL ‘Blighter’ has not infested this esteemed site for a while but I have decided to re-emerge solely to reply to you out of utmost respect for your concern and kind sentiments. I am humbled,honoured and gratified.Thank you. I am delighted to report that I am fine and dandy but owing to the advancement of years I would not admit to being in peppy form with more bounce than seen on a Baywatch beach sprint! I am still able to lubricate my larynx, accordingly a rigid observance of teetotalism is never on the agenda ! Thankfully I have not reached the stage where I mutter away like an ancient, addlepated wino. Finally I give my best wishes to all those on HOL with whom I have communicated with over the years and bored all and sundry as an ‘Elijah of Doom’ ! I have often suspected that the multitudes concluded I was a cast-iron, chateau bottled yawn ! My Kind regards to you all.I have been privileged to have been in such esteemed company.In terms of HOL and our club,Onwards and upwards. Adios.

Glad you are well Willo and hope to see you report for pre-season training over the next few weeks.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

High-pitched chortles in 'Chez Willo' My "Pre-season training" shall consist of several visits to a Public House but I shall not reach a state of advanced refreshment to the extent that I tumble akin to a Gloucestershire cheese chaser. Apropos the forthcoming season, I am looking forward to it immensely, whilst not permitting my emotions to get carried away on a sea of rampant optimism whereby expectations are somewhat unrealistic.

Mirrors my stance. If you do enter any Gloucestershire-based extracurricular activity or competitions, I'll stick a fiver on you as a show of support.

I am gratified by your show of support, however my physical exertions are confined to the dim and distant past and I am now reduced to resembling an armadillo grinding across hazardous terrain. Returning to the forthcoming season (Far more interesting than Willo !), we certainly have the ingredients but this does not mean the souffle will rise. Finally, in response to a comment from another HOL member, I can categorically assert that 'Dazza' and 'Yours Truly' are NOT one and the same person.

PLEASE don't say Adios Willo. So far as I know, Adios means goodbye, The HOL simply won't be the same without you.We all love your posts. You're irreplaceable.

Edited by Willo (10 Jun 2024 9.28pm) Willo old chap, jolly pleased to learn that you're fine and dandy down there on the south coast. We all miss your eloquent posts and I, for one, hope to see an occasional input from you. Maybe a pessimistic forecast ahead of our first match of the season for instance? Stay fit and well, POG.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

I have to admit that you were in my thoughts when I drove through your 'Neck of the woods' a couple of weeks ago.I did mention to my dear wife that an esteemed member of HOL was resident in this delightful location. Finally, perhaps this doomster and gloomster might surprise all and sundry if I veer down the alley of making a forecast prior to the opening game ! At present I am 'of good cheer' apropos our prospects - perhaps it is the medication ! Edited by Willo (11 Jun 2024 9.43am)
