Right then chaps, and fellow Tripadvisor thicko friends. I am off.

[Portofino]

I sit here looking at a load of made up shite, FWR gone to the dogs, few really funny threads any more. I am getting old, curmudgeonly and no longer able to sit on my hands. I am nice really, try to help people in Travel and Living Overseas, but the rest of it just brings out the worst in me. I am too cynical and impatient with scroungers, trolls, and those who big themselves up to get a reaction. I hardly dare post in relationships anymore.

I have had a lot of fun over the last few years, I have made some lovely, lovely friends here. much love to the atrocious cunts, the Woolley hugs lot, mrs d, cha0s, my volcanic ash refugee, all those in Living Overseas, the Benelux Mnetters, the feminists who have taught me so much.

I have too much work and a lovely family and they need more of my attention xxx

[AgentProvocateur]

You're one of the posters whose posts I enjoy reading. All the best for the future.

[SwishSwoshSwoosh]

Oh, I have enjoyed many of your posts, wish you well and enjoy your lovely family.

[lissieloo]

oh nooooooo

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

I'll miss your posts on here porto, you're one of the gooduns.

Take a break hun ((((floppy hugs))))

[AnyFucker]

Have a break, and come back refreshed. Please ?

[fifilacklustre]

Hi Porto, I am a newish poster but lurked for a while and have always seen your posts as open and honest. You have always come across as a person with integrity. i have also reconsidered Brussels as a place to visit. I think that mn will be the less for your flounce. Enjoy the extra time you have with dh and dd and return when the time is right.

[Sh1ney]

Why flounce when you'll be back in a week?

[FryingNemo]

Stay on Living Overseas at least? Please?

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

A week Shiney? You feeling generous this evening?

[SerotoninCanEatTomorrow]

Best of luck Porto - I for one will miss you (although you won't have a clue who I am - I lurk a lot bit) and as a pp says you always seem balanced and genuine.

[CheerfulYank]

Bye, Porto. :( All the best.

[FuckThisShit]

Does this mean you won't be sending me chocolates and fags then?

Anyway, who will say all the things I want to say but am too chicken? I canNOT go.

[BOF]

It sounds like you just need a break- don't de-reg, just log out. I believe there's a button for it somewhere.

[belizabus]

Porto, what about Fantasy Football next season?! You jammy bugger.

[SinisterSal]

Oh no porto. I see your point though.

[ScrambledSmegs]

Bugger.

Don't go Porto. Please.

[Portofino]

Forgot the fantasy football lot. Thanks for giving it a go without the lovely Lenin in charge. I tried asking for a prize for the winner.....

[DianaTrent]

Oh fuck. Not you too.
Wishing you all the best.

[DameFanny]

Oh. Arse.

[AFingerofFudge]

But beer that's the really annoying thing -all the good people throw the towel in and all the arseholes,trolls, sensationalists, wankers and attention seekers win.
Don't go Porto, you're one of the good ones!

[TheBirdsFellDownToDingADong]

I don't usually post on flouncey threads, but (it's me Bucharest btw, still in my Eurovision frock) I would also be sorry to see you go, because you are refreshingly normal!! (and I always think you live in Italy like me but I know you don't!)

I do agree about the whackjobbery of late.

[MrsGeologist]

Yy, have a break and see how you feel.

You're one of the good'uns and it's sad to see you go.
