Is XMTS a better place with no Panache?

Hmm.. Not sure. I think things have changed, but it did not have anything to do with a lack of panache or Panache.

I for one miss the chap, heck, I joined this forum because I wanted to get to know him, and gain something from him.....now it appears he is gone, and I am ashamed that anyone on here would make a thread like this to insult him and his character........it puts a blight on the site and it's reputation.

I have cast my vote. It is, we are told oh so often at the moment here in the UK, irresponsible not to.Of course, how I cast my vote is entirely my affair, Grant.

The spirit of Panache lingers, and the teasing between Panache and Grant will never cease... there is nothing here but fun and I am sure Jamie is smiling... and if you can't tell Grant is poking fun at himself by his choices.... I am afraid you take things a bit too serious.

Picture that little blonde kid in the movie "Shane":

"Jamie! Come back...!"

I assure you young Sir, that I, take no great pleasure in insulting the man's character. In fact I can take that further, I can take no greater pleasure than insult the man's character. The best bit of advice that he has ever given me is to not stick chewing gum in my hair. This pearl of wisdom he offers up after I stick chewing gum in my hair! You will notice that since his departure I have yet to stick chewing gum in my hair, either accidentally or on purpose. My life is better without his hounding. Now if you'll excuse me I've found my scissors and now I have to run.
