The gentlemen's gentleman!!

Guys,

I've known quite a few of you chaps for at least two years or more. You fellas are literally the BEST thing that has happened to me in my "friendship" life.

But amongst all of you, I have to say that there is one guy out there who qualifies as a gentlemen's gentleman....and that would have to be none other than....Adrian (Uncle-AJ) himself!!

I have known Adrian since mid-2003 or thereabouts. He never was a great thread starter, but boy can he throw in his super-humurous 2 cents when he wants to. I have always known him to be polite, gentlemanly, subtle, polite (did I say that already? ) and have never known him to lose his temper.

His loyalty as a friend knows no bounds....he's the kinda guy who would go out on a limb to help a friend in need. He's the kinda guy who would defend his friend with his last breath and he's the kinda guy who would go out of his way to make a friend feel comfortable.

Yes, my friends, Adrain is truly a gentleman at heart....he is, in fact, one of the nicest persons I've ever known. My hats off to you, Adrian. It's fellas like you that make this world go round.

Cheers - JJ

Good point JJ. Adrian is a gentleman. I thought a gentleman's gentleman was a butler?

Oops...sorry about that typo, Adrian. Well, I meant every word I said, pal. I've known you a real long time now and, even though we've never met, it is so easy to gauge the personality of a friend just from his posts and other mannerisms.

Tell Brenda that she is one of the luckiest ladies in the world.

You'd be better off promising him a Rolex. You know he's a one watch man.................well at least until he changes his mind.

Same here. If I want to make Anne REALLY laugh, all I have to do is to proclaim that I'm the ideal husband.

Why? Got a complex? Want everyone to know you are a success? Compensating for something?

Or simply because you love a good product and Rolex is it!
