Hi folks,
Look what I found!

Those reports are still alive!
Cheers,

I've mentioned it before here a while back, but this is one of the things that I love about this site. These picture reports are so enjoyable to look through, especially while savoring a good beer. I should do it more often.

It's hard to explain, but after going through some of the things in life that I've been through in recent years, things that you wouldn't understand unless you've been through them, that sometimes just going through these old reports and also the more recent ones from you Filip and Jay helps remind me that the world isn't a completely screwed up place and not everybody is an idiot. Lord knows I've had enough of those things to last a lifetime.

These reports show me a kinder and more innocent side of life, both in the people and the places that are shown. They give me hope to once again revisit some of the people and places in these reports, as well as meet some of you whom I haven't met or places I haven't yet been.

On a personal side note, things are looking better little by little for me, and I hope to make these Belgian visit dreams come true again. Tomorrow I will start at a new position with the company I've been working for. It will be sometimes difficult work and especially difficult hours (from 5:30 pm in the evening to 2:30 in the morning), but it will be full time and year round and also comes with a pretty good pay increase. Finally ... Finally it seems that I'll be able to start getting my life back to where I want it to be. One step at a time ... Wish me luck  F_C

Thanks again Filip for all your efforts. Obviously I do hope that the BBB will live on here for at least a while longer, but please do what feels right to you now, and in the future.

Cheers! - John

Hi John,
What great news from you!!! working till 2.30am isn't really that bad. I worked nightshifts too, and survived :)... and it pays much more too.
As it is now, I think the chance the website will survive is a 51% in favour of a continue to exist  F_C

Cheers and wishing you all the luck John
