Hows Marco doing?

Plus one for the Marconian.

Happy Xmas, dude!

May the greatest Tannoys on earth sing your praises.

OMG! Has it been 4 years. Haven't been here for ages because it's not the same without Marco. Good to hear he should be coming back. I thought I heard his wife had long COVID too? Or was that wrong?

She has recovered to 40% of what she used to be and will never recover anymore. She's lost her job, nearly missed her daughters wedding but went in a wheelchair. Long covid is a horrible condition as nobody really knows how to treat it, the latest is they now treat as if the person has CFS, (the old ME, yuppie flu) but again there is no cure !! I wish Marco all the best but it will be a long and tortuous road back to a fraction of his former self.

That's some story, Mike. I've always wondered if Long Covid has always been with us but we've recognised it as something different, possibly giving it many different names in the past but ultimately it being the same thing?

thanks for the update on Marco , lets hope things continue to improve

I have been hoping Marco would return - sorry to hear about the health issues - but obviously he has had other things to deal with.

I think Grant used to talk to him, and I had one conversation with Marco just before Covid.

The world changes, and interests move on, but it would be good to keep some form of contact.

Maybe he will eventually decide to come back to these parts.

Great that he’s back :)

I (the daftee) is here:)

Thanks for the kind comments, guys, which are appreciated.

Marco.

Definitely!

Just doing a reset on the computer fronts, and testing browsers and other stuff.

Went close by Marco's place recently - well probably within 20 miles anyway. A modestly long trip via Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire, Merseyside - into Wales - Conwy and Llandudno - then back via outskirts of Wrecsam and Shrewsbury and Birmingham.

Now back in the frozen wastes!

Good to see you again Marco, never doubted it. :)

Cheers, mate!:cool:

Marco.
