Thank you Thank you Thank you Jimbits
Thank You Jimbits
Over the last few months Jim has done me a very large favour. I am not allowed to say exactly what it is, so you'll have to bear with me a bit Not long after i joined TRF I was chatting in the coffee shop and mentioned something that I was doing, that was proving to be a real pain in the neck. Jim very kindly offered to "have a look" at it for me. Little did I know that he would in fact sort the whole thing out. I know that it took quite a lot of his precious time up, and that it was not at all straight forward. We all know Jim for his self deprecating humour and wit, but he is also a very, very clever man. I wish that I could show you all what he's done, it really is incredible. It was a head scratcher, even for him! If I had paid for this service, it would have been very expensive (just ask Bubba ). Jim has very generously done this for nothing. I hope that I can repay him in some way in the future. I wish I could express more eloquently how grateful I am. Thank you Jim, from the bottom of Lou's, Finn's and my heart. And thank you TRF for bringing us together. :cheer s: Mark, Louise and Finn |

on a serious note Jim was able to give me some very good advice that helped me and my neighbours greatly. I suppose I got lucky with a rare moment of clarity

I did not think we had secrets on TRF! The rules and bylaws of TRF require you to tell all!

Jim is the kind of friend you keep for life. He seems to always put others first and his kids are very lucky to have him for a dad.

Thanks Mark and everybody else for the kind words it really means a lot to me.
I have to say that Mark's problem was a tricky one...it took all four of my braincells and I thought I might have to even borrow some of Martina's and Bubbsy's. I think we figured it out in the end though Mark huh? I'll get the final few bits tidied up for you this week (I know I keep saying that and then she's all yours....I don't envy you Jim |

I am not surprised to hear this as Jim is very bright, and in conjunction with his giving nature, he is rendered irreplaceable. What a special guy!

Jim is quite a rare human. Everything from him is 100% honest & without malice or ulterior motive.
Don't know what you did Jim but nice one. The very best of health to you & your family.

It's great to see this kind of thing. Well done Jim. I have said this many times before but I really wish I could see this kind of integrity and kindness more often all around me. This is what makes TRF so great.
