YOU'RE DOING WHAT?

Well let me be the first to wish you all the best in your retirement Mr. Marzipan.

Now remember it is your responsibility to ensure that the new editor of FM has a silly name.

Tight lines and enjoy the family.

Matt

PS see you on the fish-ins.

Doubt it, if he's retiring he'll be taking ALL the freebies with him to use.

Graham,

While I fully understand your reasons, I am sure that I speak for all of the regular and past contributors to FM when I say that FM will not be the same from Wednesday morning onwards.

I have always greatly admired the way that you have steered the ship through some often troubled waters, holding the right and proper line in some of the less than pertinent debates.

Your contributions in the way of Articles and Reviews has been legendary, and I believe that I have learned a lot from reading your experienced, seasoned and logical contributions.

I wish you and your family all the very best for the future, and if anyone ever deserved a long and fulfilling retirement then it is you.

Thank you my friend for the experience!

Graham,

FM without you! It'll be like Virgin without Branson !!! Unthinkable.

Enjoy having more time to yourself (as if!) and more control over what you want to do. See you at the various events.

If ever anybody deserved an award for services to angling ...

Poshers

Personally I am delighted that you have retired. But don't get me wrong, you have been deserving retirement for some time now.

I shall, however, be sad in seeing FM lose the editorship of one one of this country's great all-round anglers. Graham, you have made this site the great institution that it has become.

And yes, we are going to miss you.

This is worse than when Take That and The Spice Girls Split up.

I think Magicallia should set up a help line to support distressed Effemmers./forum/smilies/crying_smiley.gif

Not enough words to describe the great debt that myself and I suspct more than a fewothers owe to you for all youhave done for us and in making FM what it is today.

Sorrow at your parting, but that has to be tempered with the thought that you will now be able to get out and enjoy yourself a bit more without having to worry about the rebrobates on here.

Very best wishes for the future.

Kevin

"you have been deserving retirement for some time now."

That is not what he said Boss at all - what he actually said was:

'the old beggar ought to have been put out to grass a long time ago, him and his magic wallet'

Now, and I mean this most sincerely Graham, and you'll not see it again, okay?

Good luck and many of these to come in your retirement:

As a born again angler and relative newcomer to FM, maybe a couple of years now, I have gained an enourmous amount of knowledge and amusement fromFM and it is clear that you have been behind much of what makes this site the very best of its kind there is.

Very many thanksGraham and all the best for the future.

This is not the last you'll hear from us Marsbar!

FM without you will be like a broken pencil - pointless.

You know how I feel after our conversation just now. I wish you well for many, many, many years to come and hope that you enjoy those years in the happiness of your family. I know you said you wanted to help more around the house, but I promise you, after a while Anne will be telling you to get from uder her feet and go bloody fishing!

And you probably will.

Live long and prosper (oh, you've done the second bit already).
