    Default Death of nebo

    I wholeheartedly agree with you Dave I just think the people that do it are just green one eyed monsters who didn't come up with the idea themselves so they just want to rain on the persons parade.Well done Steve for coming up with the idea and well done rich if he continues it.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Probably, but they wouldn't understand that terminology, maybe this instead

    Thumbs up

    Thanks guys for all of the above support and positive comments. Nebo has indeed become an institution and something i am proud as punch of. However, certain events and comments have simply sickened me and certainly robbed me of my enthusiasm. As for those who brought me to such a decision i have to say that i have nothing but disdain for them. I hope that one day their vitriol and poison becomes their undoing which i am sure in some form or another it will. I am more than happy to hand over the baton to Rich Britton to continue with Nebo whilst i bow out and watch from the sidelines. I spoke to Marco on the all English electric telephone this evening and had a long chat about the situation and i have to thank him for his continuing support not only with Nebo over the years but other matters too. I wish Macca all the best with his Midlands Bake off and feel well chuffed that he intends to use the tried and tested format adopted by the Nebo clan. A huge debt of thanks go to the Nebo massive (you know who you are) diamonds every one of you. I have no doubt i will meet up with you all at some point and share a drink with you.

    To those who moved me to my decision and you know who you are so don't delude yourselves, i consider you to be the chavs of the internet. Nothing more than thugs masquerading as intelligent people who coerce others into thinking the same way as themselves. To you all and the sheep that follow shed your bitterness and paranoia and stop beating up on people who are trying to do good things for others. You may have sickened me enough to give up something that i loved but i am pleased that the people involved in Nebo will continue to hold such events whilst the bitter and twisted sit in their ivory towers spouting negativity.

    Good luck guys and big up for Rich who is now your new head of Nebo.

    And it's a brilliant one, the geographical location of NEBO was always it's biggest limitation. It's a really logical progression.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    No problem, matey. As I said, 'don't let the bastards win': they're simply inadequate wastes of space, with no lives, who hide behind their keyboards trying to suck the joy from the lives of everyone else, simply because it irks them seeing others being happy.

    They are just saddos who, quite rightly, deserve nothing but your disdain - or perhaps a right good slap, if you should ever have the misfortune of meeting them in real life!

    I wish Macca all the best with his Midlands Bake off and feel well chuffed that he intends to use the tried and tested format adopted by the Nebo clan.
    Indeed, and the best of luck too, to Rich, whom I'm sure will take control of the reins of NEBO and ensure its continued success for the future. All of you will receive our full support. Here's to the continued growth and success of NEBO, MIBO and AoS!
