This is a serious article and I therefore hope people will respond accordingly
In November, Reebok Bricks openly told everyone that he took his main holiday every November for 4 weeks. He said his goodbye's and even took the time to predict all November's fixtures on WF's thread.
He has not been back on-line since then, which I find very surprising and slightly concerning. Last week I e-mailed Admins and asked them to contact him via e-mail. My thinking and hope was that he had just decided to have a break from the site, however unexpected that might be for those of us who have been regular posters on here and BBC for many years.
As of today, he hasn't replied to their e-mail which suggests something worse may have happened.
Bricks, if you are reading the forum, let us know you are ok please? Or, if not, please let Admins know you are ok?
If anyone else knows Bricks in RL or has his twitter, Facebook or e-mail, maybe they could let us know that he is ok?
Despite our differences, we are a bit like a band of brothers and I would like to think if I suddenly vanished, people would also be concerned.

Didn't someone famously say 'Garlic bread... it's a thing of the future!'?
Well, until the day that theory is disproved, I believe we should all be prepared by stocking up our bunkers in preparation for the evacuation warning, when a certain moustachio'd fella comes thundering down your cul-de-sac... er... so to speak.
Never say never.

A more important question has arisen after reading that thread, what happened to the Dalmacija after the auction?

Shouldn't that say

Ha ha.......(that's a sarcastic "Ha ha", as opposed to a , by the way.)
It's cold round here you know. Things shrink.

Finally the delightful MS Dalmacija was sold in 1997 to “Adriatic Cruises” she remained in Croatian (previously Yugoslavian) hands until the very end of her sailing days! She continued cruising and gaqve a great deal of pleasure to so many. But then suddenly twelve years after having obtained the delightful “Great White Yacht”, Adriatic Cruises due to financial problems folded in 2009, and the ship was sold at auction in September of that year to “Baltanas Shipping Limited” for just US$770,000.
Still looking radiant the MS Dalmacija departed her home port of Rijeka on November 6, she was crewed by five Croatian senior officers whilst the rest of her crew were Pakistanis. She sailed for Pakistan and the ship breakers yard, where she was soon broken up

So that's it then......
Bricks got broken up for salvage by a load of Pakistanis.
Quite fitting that, given his lack of regard for "Johnny Foreigner" - especially the dark skinned ones....
Karma.

There's a missing sentence from that report. I've done a quick search and found it..
..not before going on a quick jaunt around Malta & Bari picking up esteemed man about Town Mr R Bricks from the interweb and his entourage including a Mrs P Pam and her faithful servant John Footpump.
