Hi Steve/Alien,
That's alright 4 months late, better later than never they say(whoever they are that is!! aha). Sorry to read at the time of your reply things were it seems not to good. However hope things have improved life has treated you kindly since then. And the thing you have been expecting (or should that be dreading haha) Wishing you a very happy Christmas and Happier new year!.

All the very best to you mate, Sam/Ultra

Hey Steve/Alien,
Apologies it would seem my annual the message to you last year did not get through – breaking the chain of messages for probably a decade d’oh! Life has been treating me very well in the last year in its own right, not merely compared to the dark era of a few years ago. I won’t go on about the comings and goings of the last year not to mention the backlog of many years since we spoke properly. However chief happy making development this year set in motion next year I will be a married man. I hope life has been treating you well and you have been in good health despite though the pandemic and beyond. I also sure you have found love by now as for such a long time that's all you wanted and for no good reason were denied. Amazing how many years have come on gone since we met/gamed back in the winter of 07-08. Life is no rehearsal as someone once told me.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas and happier still new year!
All the very best, Sam/Ultra

I forgot to add for the avoidance of doubt until last Christmas I actually had one hell of a good time! I was not the dreary depressing sob that you got to know. So you take that to the bank.

I still remember you being besotted with a Canadian girl here on steam called Ashley. Somehow someway you will get to have that long term girl for you, perhaps even have some kids (which I think you liked the idea of ). Given I am not likely to make it to Christmas I hope your christmas your nearest and dearest will feature heavily. I hope you have a long and prosperous life Steve/Alien you deserve it a great deal than many.

P.S Nah I didnt write down your birthday, just my memory still operates to a good extent (hence your exact birthday could not remember). I still remember things when I was 5 AND younger such as falling down a toilet and being pulled out by my father.

My very very best wishes, Sam.

Hi Steve/Alien,
I hope you are well mate. Good to know your Christmas/new year was a good one. Sadly after Christmas I was given a whole series of bad news. But increadibly I found out I have a biological sister I never knew I had 18 years older than myself. She quite simply would have been a family treasure, we really get each other!. I hope that life will be kind to you as you where to me all that time ago, from talking to me while trying to fix my pc (remember that?)

Hi Alien/Ste,
the ubiquitous pest is back yet again. Happy your holiday in Greece was good. Goes without saying I hope you have had other fab holidays since then. As repetitive as it may sound it is not any less meaningful hope all is going well for you and coming year and christmas will be a happy one.
All the best, Ultra/Sam.
P.S Must be a sobering thought you will be 30 this time next year! But, being the positive sort hopefully you will say upwards and onwards (wrong way round but nm lol)
