I posted this on another thread/topic a few days back.


Pete B now lives In Thailand and Dean has retired and spends much of his time in India, so rumour has it on facebook. Not sure what took them both to different parts of Asia?

latest news from one of Petes closest friends is that he is recovering well. He has a new woman and is loving life in Thailand having built a large home with plenty of land. Dean is on projects helping the needy in India working with under privleged families .

I hope this helps?

Brian Wolsey.... had some lively debates with him. I called him the pope as he gave the impression of being infallible and was always right.

By the looks of his post count he liked to comment. Maybe he wore his keyboard out or something..

Whilst I’m thinking about it we’ve gone through quite a few Mods as well:

Moley
Carpy Pat
Merl
Beave
Ken - as mentioned

Moley went off to start his own forum. I still message him very occasionally
CarpyPat passed away :( There was a post in the Mod area Jan 2023
Merl was cool, see the odd post from him on FB now and again
Beave is still fishing and he's in some WhatsApp groups with me/Muzza and others
Ken - I did message him a few years back when I heard he was ill but never got a reply, maybe I had the wrong mobile number. I do think of him often.

OldGeezer - Yes, was in WhatsApp groups with him too. We have him to thank for LinkyPoo...I added that functionality after he passed as a little tribute

I was part of Moley's forum.
It was quite anti Carpforum to be honest but I didn't join in that aspect as I've never had a problem with this forum which is and always been the best.
I joined Facebook to be part of a Carpingabroad group but that was short lived. I've kept the account but don't do fishing on there
I've been a member of other forums but they've all gone now and so I'm please to see thanks to Karl Carpforum is still going strong.

I did bump into Brian Wolsey on FB but not to do with fishing. He lives in the Woolwich area of London and we spoke about Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and how we have both suffered.
That was about 5 years ago
