I hope, all my friends on here and there are a lot of them, too many to name but they know who they are, had a very special wonderful Christmas. I want to wish you all a very happy, prosperous, peaceful new year.
I was very surprised I received a Private Message from UHH. I thought I would return a message in the form of a
post, in General Chit-chat. Two or three weeks ago, I was informed by a UHH friend that my name had been mentioned, referring to my leaving the forum. The usual suspects you probably guess who they are were still moaning and criticising my efforts to make people laugh. If I did return the same people would start up again and spoil my pleasure, so it's not going to happen again. I had quite a few private messages telling me that there was nothing lewd on my posts and it was just normal adult humour.
The last two and a half years have been wonderful for my family. We have had three gandchildren born. Two girls
and a boy. The caption reads my son Graham II, with his little girl called Ariana. The laughing little toddler is my sons first daughter Phoebe, Ariana's sister. I'm holding Freddie, the first child for my youngest daughter.

Were you a Policeman?
I have a lot of respect for Policemen.
I prey for them every night when I go to bed.

I wasn't a policeman but I was a Prison Officer for five years, back in the 60's and 70's.

Great to hear from you Graham. We do miss you and your humor. Glad everything is good for you. That little Girl you are holding on your right side looks like she really likes her Grandpa.

I haven't participated in UHH much for a while, Graham, but your posts used to be the ones I most looked forward too. Glad to hear you're well.

Nice to hear from you, Graham. Sadly, a few people drive away some nice folks.

Good to see you're still about and enjoying life. Illegitimi non carborundum. (Don't let the bastards grind you down).

I too have a new step grandkid now. A great subject for photography. Unfortunately he's a couple thousand miles away (for you Brits, that's a few thousand kilometers) so I have to depend on his parents for photos. But I can transmogrify the ones I get.

About a month ago they sent this one:



I looked at that pose and just couldn't resist jumping into Photoshop.

I always enjoyed everything you posted you have a great sense of humor. If it were me I would start up again just to piss all of them off.

Graham,

So VERY NICE to see you on the "hog" again. Wishing you and all your family a wonderful and blessed 2024. Please don't let the few a$$holes here get you down - just consider the source. Some people are just naturally jerks and have NO sense of humor. I would sure hate to be in their shoes.

Graham,
The rude comments from others have driven to many great Hoggers such as you away much to the loss of many, many more of us that truly enjoyed yours and others posts and were not offended. As long as Admin did not find a post in poor taste and let you know as such, the opinion's of others are irrelevant and nothing more than babbling of fools with no respect for anyone else. I personally always enjoyed your humor.

As you probably know from my comment above, I 1000% agree with you. Thanks for standing up and fighting with the MAJORITY of us Hoggers.

It is great to see this post Graham! Good to know that you are healthy and doing well. Fine family you have there. You have been sorely missed by me. I loved your humor and looked for it everyday. Hope you change your mind and come back on a regular basis but that is your choice alone.
Again, great to hear from you!

Don

Dear Graham: I love arms full of children. Plenty of them. When a house is full of noisy little ones that is the best.

Give my love to Jeanne and the whole kit and kaboodle!!!
