I know that many of you (myself included) were worried that something had happened to the good Doctor.

Just to let all you motorcycle and flight jacket lovers know that our dear Alan is 'alive and kicking' but without any personal access to the internet anymore (I've just received a work email from him).

He wishes to pass on his good wishes to all his friends on the forum here and hopefully I'll be meeting up with him fairly soon "somewhere in England!"

 

[Feraud]

Give Alan our regards. I miss his informative posts and hope he makes it back online.

Thats quite a coincidence- I just messaged him thru eBay today.
Checking someone's eBay account for recent activity... modern day vital sign.

Well- he's kinda like these "vintage lifestyle" folks who are so authentically vintage, that they "won't even have a cell phone" but strangely, they're all on the Internet...

But he's not on the Internet.

...er... good on him..?

Alaaaaaaaaan.........

It's the vintage Catch 22.

Alan- we need your input on the "Vintage Anorak Project"

BT..hit the nail.

Alan is 'slowly' cutting his techie ties with the 21st Century. No car (uses buses). Out went the phone, and now the home internet/computer. He has to use a computer for work, but when he retires in a few years time, that's it.[huh] 1914 here we come!

 

[Rufus]

Wow.. I'm impressed, and saddened all at the same time...

Please pass on our regards to Mr Eardley, I appreciate all the time he took to share with us the wealth of information, and experience he has. A real loss for FL.

Good news Paddy - but he's missed.
Let's hope he'll stumbel over a computer one of these days.

Yeah Paddy... a few of us would like to cut the 21 c off at the knees when you read the nightly news like...Russia invades Georgia. I thought we had stopped all that stuff. That's a pity as Allan E has the "knowledge" that may be now unaccessible.

 

[MudInYerEye]

Damn, I suppose now I'll never get that five bucks he owes me. EARDLEY!!!!!!

He's a great speller, too.

I like his style. I wonder what his reasons are.

 

[Kt Templar]

Darn, and I thought he got disconnected by his ISP for bittorrenting Dad's Army!

lol

Alan, we already miss you!!

(photo) Proof of Life.

From two days ago when I briefly met up with Alan in the middle of the English Peak District for a cup of Earl Grey and a chat. Don't you just 'love' Alan's 40's inspired haircut. This man is a true gentleman and just a pure pleasure to share some time with. As you can see from the photo blurring, it was 'all very emotional.'

 

[Flitcraft]

Glad to see yer still alive...

wish you wouldn't cut all ties to the 21st.century... maybe you could still contribute here occasionally?

 

[BellyTank]

Proof of the Man's existence.
But not of hair.

Hoorah!
