    Glad to hear that you're recovering well Uncle.

    Communicating via this internet malarkey is an ideal way for me to socialise with YOU, the great unwashed and uneducated, whilst keeping you all at a distance. Tones it down you see?

    Nice to see you back and posting, unclearthiur! I hope the members here don't inundate you with too many orders...

    Here's some of what you missed:

    There's a thread asking for your help about the Pimo Tenon turner tool thingy.

    Hobie asked for pics and Lawrence smoked 1-Q.

    Also Kevin had a few rant threads that got closed because we couldn't keep on topic.

    For all the noobs. He our Uncle. He loves us and we love him. He is the guy many of us aspire to be when we become greybeards. He makes pipes (excellent ones). He makes tampers (amazing ones). And he makes stems (good ones for far less than you may pay locally).

    When Uncle Arthur ain't right, the forum ain't right. and if He's wrong, I don't wanna be right. He is one of those men who, when he speaks, lesser men, such as myself, shut up and listen. He's been there, done that and designed a pipe to commemorate it.

    He's also into steampunk, which is werid, but given his creativity, you better just step back. Cool stuff is about to happen.

    He's our man, Uncle Arthur! Welcome back, good sir!

    There is definitely something drastically wrong, either health or computer, because there is no way UA's being away would be caused by anything else.

    Has anyone met him, been to his home, have his correct phone number? Someone that could call on him to see if he needs any help etc?

    Somethings not right, its been bugging me and why I bumped this thread to check on him. If we knew where he lived and had contact of a family member we could have a welfare check conducted. Baskerville, are there any family members on his FB account we could message?

    I put some of my detective skills to work and determined that he has been recently posting on a site called Steam Punk as recently as Saturday. So indications are he is out there, but doesn't love us anymore.
