Hello Everyone
Well, that's another 12 months flown past. Can I thank you all for the help and support you have given to the Community during the past 12 months - it's not gone unnoticed and your continued contributions are very much welcome in the future.
To keep the Community free for help and advice to other Community members can we all please use this thread for Christmas and New Year greetings and the "No Specific Topic" thread for general "chit-chat".
A little bit of housekeeping - On the matter of advice we give to Community members can we refrain from adding AI or Chat GPT generated advice or any links to videos which are not from a trusted UK source. This is both to comply with The Online Safety Act and to ensure all information comes from trusted sources or personal experience. Thank you for your understanding.
During the year, sadly we have lost some Community members to prostate cancer and if this situation has affected you and your family my thoughts go out to you at this time of the year. A vey special mention here to the families of William (Ulls), Joe (Joeven) and Peter (Alwayshope's husband) who passed away during the year. May they rest in peace.
On a personal note, this time last year I had completed treatment and was wondering if I was "cancer free". The answer is no - I have a "biochemical relapse" so my team are trying me out on intermittent hormone therapy - so it's a case of que sera sera. Watch this space.
So once again Lorraine (Mrs Millibob) and I would like to wish everyone and their families on the Community a very happy Christmas and our best wishes for 2026. We hope you all have a well deserved break and a great holiday with family and friends.
During the Christmas and New Year break there will be "normal service" from me, however the Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 will be working although on reduced hours.
Thank you again for your understanding and continued support.
Brian - Online Community Champion. .
Merry Christmas, Brian.
