Has anyone heard from our Australian poster, don’t think I am supposed to mention names, but we know who I mean!!

Megs36 Sat 21-Aug-21 09:32:56

Hello all concerned, I put my two penny worth on Friesday post yesterday started by Aveline, No one seems to know further about Rufus which as I said could apply to most of us.

We have had our spats grin but I’d be relieved to hear Rufus is OK as well.
Just as an idea- when some of us knew how poorly Phoenix was, we asked if she would designate a friend or someone else close to take over if she got to the point of not either wanting or being able to post. It was a hard thing to ask because it sounded so negative, but might be worth bearing in mind for internet friends or GN contacts.

I hope we hear from Rufus soon,or at least know what's happened.

I’m raising a glass to Rufus wherever he is ? ????

It’s horrid to not know…. Rufus are you ok Fella ?

Is it an idea for all of us to let at least one person on here have an email address of ours (although it hasn’t worked this time)

I am thinking of Rufus also and hoping he is alright.

We know his given name, the given name of his dear late wife and also the name of his son so if the worst has happened maybe the tribute column in the Melbourne newspapers will give us a clue.

Sorry if this seems a bit bizarre and if Rufus is reading and is ok he can have a chuckle!

Oh Jacky, so do I flowers

Jaxjacky Fri 20-Aug-21 11:03:01

No sign May7 I fear the worst, but really, really hope I’m wrong.

Any further updates from the fella from Oz??

BlueSky Tue 17-Aug-21 21:11:41

I’ve googled it as I’m no computer wizard and it could be due to computer problems. Let’s hope so anyway.

Aveline Tue 17-Aug-21 14:31:30

BlueSky I just don't know. It always used to work and is the email address he used to email me from.confused

Jaxjacky Tue 17-Aug-21 12:46:52

I hope that’s the answer too Megs cheers Rufus ?Take care ?

BlueSky Tue 17-Aug-21 12:34:06

Aveline that’s so weird. Does it mean that email address has been deleted? sad

Aveline Tue 17-Aug-21 12:26:02

The latest response I got to an email was this morning and it said ' user unknown in virtual mailbox table'. He certainly always used to email me from that address

Namsnanny Tue 17-Aug-21 11:28:46

Good of you to keep trying Megs36 it keeps the attention on the thread.
I too hope Rufus will be in contact soon.

seacliff Tue 17-Aug-21 11:28:31

Hope he's ok, and that we do get news.

Megs36 Tue 17-Aug-21 11:23:55

Still no news about * Rufus* despite e mails and PMs , I realise if for some reason I didn’t post there we’d be no one to pick up the threads j ust hope he has pooter problems which are solved soon.
Cheers Rufus ????????

Callistemon Sun 15-Aug-21 17:46:43

Still no news?

It did happen before when he was taken to hospital unexpectedly. Hope he's ok but that is a concern that someone could be ill or just leave and we often never know the reason why.

FannyCornforth Sun 15-Aug-21 14:27:54

Thanks Platypus

Platypus Sun 15-Aug-21 14:21:07

Just so your thread is kept on track and these ladies don’t cop anymore flack - I’ll start a thread and call it “This is Australia” where we can discuss all things Australian and answer any Australiana questions.

Speaking of Australians, I do hope Rufus2 is back to say g’day soon.

glammanana Sun 15-Aug-21 14:12:41

Lets hope we hear from Rufus soon and hope he has just lost his internet connection for a short while .

rafichagran Sat 14-Aug-21 22:33:00

I agree this thread is about Rufus and needs to be kept on track.
I hope he is well and we hear some news soon.

BlueBelle Sat 14-Aug-21 22:24:00

Can we have a separate thread for those wanting to talk about Australia this is about a poster we are concerned about and keeps going off at a tangent

Juliet27 Sat 14-Aug-21 21:52:59

BlueSky

Oh Yabbie I encouraged you to come back and gives us some news about Australia, any news! Sorry if I’ve got you into trouble!

Same from me!

FannyCornforth Sat 14-Aug-21 21:40:53

It’s okay Yabbie and BlueSky, don’t worry about it.
Yabbie please start threads with gay abandon, you are more than welcome.
But please stop posting on this particular thread so that it can continue to be about Rufus and his GN friends
