Since I’ve joined this forum several members have reached out and been generous with their time, advice and encouragement. You know who you are and I thank you.

One such member has been very generous in a material way today. No, I know it shouldn’t be quantified in this way, but is also the thought that was put into these gifts that is equally special.

I feel that such generosity deserves to be documented, as I class him as a friend that I hope to meet one day. I can’t say that he feels the same way (ha, ha!)

PT.1 -

A parcel arrived today and I knew from the label who had posted it.

I took it round to my father-in-laws as I had arranged to meet him for a coffee. He asked me what was inside, assuming it was another of my many internet purchases. I told him the story of my association with this forum member and he was taken by the tale.

I had never documented an un-boxing before and it intrigued me!

I hope you enjoy the journey I had this afternoon and can appreciate the immense “feel good” high that I am on.

I know where that shirt was made. Good stuff, man. Thanks for sharing the feels.

Embedding the photos for ease of viewing. If you click the shared photo to see it and only it, you can then right click to "copy image address". Paste that link into the forum photo tool for an embedded image. You have to do it for each photo, but Google Photos more than makes up for it in other ways.

Rock on!

OK, so I’m officially useless! Many futile attempts to embed photos from google, on my phone!

PT.2 a

I opened the parcel and these were inside!

My pops-in-law was very impressed by the forum shirt and I explained to him who Sergio was! The jacket is fab, it will most definitely be worn and not kept as museum piece!;)

Needless to say I’m blown away by the kindness of No.1 contender for MOTY 2019!!

@jfb please feel free to wag a digital finger at me and shake head with disappointment!:oops:

I use a laptop/desktop. I'm not sure if you can get the link from the phone app. I'll have to check it out. Here's the embedded images for those who don't want to click.

Holy crap!!!! I mean I wanted one of those shirts and only didn’t order one because I was so disappointed that I wasn’t going to experience. But I’ve wanted one of those jackets for years. That is awesome !!!!!!
 
PT.3

So in the true spirit of Forum Brotherhood, I want to give my heart-felt thanks to @bodia who very thoughtfully and sneakily enquired my shirt size!

Little did I think that an Exp 2018 t-shirt in PS (Papa Sergio) blue was on its way!

When I opened the box and the colour was peaking out from under the bubble wrap, I was like “woah, what the heck!” You can only imagine my disbelief when I found the jacket nestling below it!!

Jim you are a true gent and I thank you for your kindness.

I apologise for these photos, but we all have to bare our soul to the world sometimes and take the consequences!

This is a wonderful forum, with a great level of knowledge, good humour, kindness, passion and many other positive attributes!

Forum Brothers truly do Rock ‘n’ Rule!!
