Has anyone heard from @Cobham-Saint ? He hasn’t posted anything here since February 13th.  
He’s also not posted on the WhatsApp group, since around the same time. I’ve messaged him personally on WhatsApp, (not via the group,) he’s always replied to me quickly in the past but this message shows as delivered to his phone but unread after a couple of days.

@Nottarf-Krap noted this absence, and asked whether I’d heard from him. I haven’t, and I’ve got to say I’m somewhat concerned about it. Anyone able to throw any light?

Yes I’m also concerned. I was going to message him here last week but as his last login here was last month I thought he wouldn’t pick it up.  
I have his postal address somewhere, I’ll se if I can find it again.

If someone more geeky can search his last posts I recall him mentioning somethingbut whether it was travel or a med check up I can’t remember

Nothing along those lines in his most recent posts on here.

Those were on February 13th. You don’t suppose he might have forgotten Valentine’s Day? The birds don’t take kindly to such oversights.

I’m not sure that would be much help, tbh. If he’s out of touch because he can’t access his phone, he could very easily contact me. He knows my name and what I do, he could message me through my own website in a matter of moments. He’d normally WhatsApp me direct every few days, and he’d be on the WhatsApp group chat pretty much daily.

Yes we can… But as @scotty said it won’t make much difference.

Every time you @Cobham-Saint or reply to one of his posts he’ll get a notification to his email, unless he’s turned then off…

I could post some anti Labour stuff - that usually flushes him out

But seriously- I hope he is OK and just got fucked off with us all

I’m certain he’d have said something to me if that was the case.

Update though, I’ve just messaged a guy who Cobham introduced to the WhatsApp group. He says he knows someone Cobs works with, and is going to contact him. Will update as soon as I hear anything.

According to someone he works with, he’s recovering from a bad bout of flu.

I’m relieved, tbh. 👍👍

Before I heard from his Turkish mate earlier, I splashed out on a sympathy card in Hythe market. So that’s 89p down the fucking pan. 😡😡😡

… here’s the card if anyone wants it. I did customise it slightly, don’t think anyone would have noticed.

Is that an ‘ex’hamster? has Cobs been spending a bit to long tucked up in bed with ‘flu’ and a box of tissues?
