SAD - BUT BREAKING NEWS!!

Post by Jurgen Grand Slam »

Hey there to all my aircooled family, which is what I consider you all to be :D

I know that I give you lot a whole bunch of :bn: on the forum :lol: and really enjoy the comments, chirps and all that goes with being on here, however, as you all know that I am NOT actually Juergen, :flash: , he does not have those :twisted: I only post on behalf of "Grand Slam", something that he cannot do even if he tries....... :roll:


I will be leaving to the USA in the next few days to take care of my god father, who was supposed to visit us here for Christmas & New Year, but had a collapse and is now seriously ill. As I am the only "next of Kin", I have no choice but to go.

This has been quite a shock to ALL of the "Grand Slam" team!! Juergen & Myself included. :(

This is a very sad time for us both :crying:

Just thought that I would let you all know that "Batwoman" is leaving the building for an unknown period of time - this clearly does not mean that "Grand Slam" does no longer exist...... only that I will not be there to take your calls, make fun of you, or give you a hard time for NOT visiting us :shock:

I appeal to you all, that are local, to take care of my very good friend and "Boss" of the past 6 years, he is going to need you to drive him nuts - especially as I will not be here to do it :twisted:

I will continue to post - even so I have been instructed NOT to, but who ever listens to "The Boss" :?: :?: :?: :?:

I wish all a very Happy 2012 and hope that your best day of 2011 is the worst day of 2012.

Es
