He should be back this month, depending on how the world reopens.
 
He's better off staying in NZ until the Indian variant that bunch of pillocks in Westminster let in has run its course. There's a bloody Thai one waiting in the wings now. The ****wits want to lock the border down properly and read up how quarantine should work or we'll be down and up like a prostitute's knickers.

Still helping the poor boat people from France to bring covid into the country and we even help them when they get into our waters.
Thought we had a border force and navy to prevent this.
 
He used to respond on here occasionally even when travelling for work. Hopefully everything is ok, but if anyone has his number, perhaps a text or call to check he's alright ?
 
Hi all,

Thanks for the concern and test message tomcat59alan.

I am still alive, yes... I am also still out in New Zealand at the moment. I was due to come back to the UK at the end of April, but my flight was cancelled and refunded by the airline due to schedule changes. I've also had consistent work here, a lot of which is actually doing lighting and events, so have decided to stay out here longer. I am now looking at returning to the UK towards the end of September, as one of the companies I'm working for has some big events in August they want me to do the lighting for.

I haven't been very active on the forums as work has been so crazy (managed just under 120 hours in 2 weeks over the last fortnight!) and apologies to anyone who has emailed or contacted via the website aswell - I've not really had the time, or motivation oiutside of work to do much else. That and we have struggled with some parts etc for RF filters, so haven't been able to make them either. So everything RR related has been somewhat on the go-slow.

As a random aside, I did pick up a really unloved 2006 4.2 SC L322 a few weeks ago here... Which I managed to get for a bargain, so trying to tidy that up and give it some TLC - with the aim being that I will sell it before I come back to the UK (hopefully for a bit of profit...)

Thanks again for the thoughts and sorry I'm not about more - I had also debated coming back towards the end of June when the restrictions are lifted in the UK, but given new covid variants keep popping up and there's still no events work for me there, I've decided to stick it out here through winter...

Very wise. Our government still hasn't made the connection that the virus didn't waft here on fairy-farts but came in in people and that most of the world has a serious issue, not least of which is actually recording what is actually happening. Until their quarantine is actually fit for purpose and the virus is suppressed to a background level (using vaccines or herd immunity) they'll keep importing variants until an escape one renders the vaccine useless and we're back to square one. If I still had my own business I would be tearing (what's left) of my hair out.

L322 sounds nice. Glad things are working out over there.
