Dear TiBB,

Tonight is the last night that our Ben (Ukturtle) has on here before he goes away on his travels to New Zealand (I know I didn't know he was going travelling either! ha2) and it's time to say goodbye to him!

So this thread is our chance to give him a good send off! Please feel free to post in here anything that you like to help celebrate Ben's time on here as I think we can agree that he's been a great member and will definitely be missed!

So come on guys and girls, let's have a good knee's up and celebrate the guy, the legend, the mess, the best MOD ever, the funniest person on here, one of the most lovable and friendliest members on this forum, that is Ben.

(a massive thanks to everybody for all the work they've done in preparation for this thread: Livia, Ammi, Niamh, Josy, Shaun and everybody else who has contributed toward all these comments).

Ben. About 2 or 3 weeks ago, in a series of PMs exchanged between Ammi, Marc, Niamh and Livia, I came up with the idea to put something together that you can have a quick glimpse at on your journeys should you ever feel yourself missing our tender touches.

I PMed around 50 active users and got in touch with a handful of oldies to put together this video - wishing you luck and looking back on some fun times over the past 4 years. I'd like to thank everyone who replied with a message for me to include, or provided me with an idea.

Get the kleenex ready. This is going to make you cry

LEAVING GIFTS

From Dezzy

Youtube video

*Cue a montage of our journey from our humble beginnings on the farm to the days of fishing on the river to that fateful day when we left our childhood behind to move to the city to make it big and finally, to today which will be represented by a dramatic farewell scene that involves a rush to the airport and an emotional goodbye. After which you blast off into the sky to stop a missile hitting Tibb but not before uttering a phrase that destroyed my childhood.

'You stay, I go'

Goodbye Ben.

I would also like to say well done to the people that came up with this idea as he has been a big part of this Forum.

[Doogle]

My little bit I wrote for Ben was so short, I didn't realise they could be longer, but tbh if I tried writing much more it'd get hard to write. That video though

[Vanessa]

Goodbye Ben! I'll miss you!
