Hi,
usually I don't post anything, but I just stumbled across this.
And I thought you might be interested to read this.
I think it's pretty shocking....

Well, this explains things...
-
I was so shocked to read about John's illness. I wish him all the best for the future.
-
All the best, John!
-
A wise choice to keep it to himself. All the best!
-
wow, ...
-
I am shocked!
And all those crying fans complaining about him playing with the DsLegends... I fully understand that he wants to enjoy any second on the stage playing the songs of his life.
-
Not the right place to start such conversations, but in general I didn't understand their arguments even without the knowledge about his illness.
-
All the best for John Illsley :thumbsup
-
Well, this explains things...
Glad to hear John's on the mend, but what does it explain?

Damn. How to say it correctly? Probably, an avoidance behaviour, no reaction... :hmm
I meant, MK rose to the occasion yet again, while babblers got into a mess.
As to John, at his age chronic lymphocytic leukemia is characterized by its pretty benign course by comparison with other hematological malignancies, so we have good reason to hope for the favorable outcome.

Well, that's much clearer, thanks for clarifying. ???

Wow! I remember I met him after the gig of the first night and said to some friends that I thought he didn't look well, perhaps a little gaunt. I had no idea of course that he really was ill. So glad to see this true gentleman has been given a second chance and I hope he lives his life to the full.

Funny.
Please to feel free to speak in riddles further on. I am sure everyone around here, especially the not-native english speaking members, will be very happy with it.

LE, if smile is a hint and laughter a sign, the cry out your will and I will give you a dime.
Riddle is not my middle name but then again I try to be as vague as circumstance require.
Have a splendid week!

vgonis, just to avoid another misunderstanding ;) , I was more referring to another post from throttle that seemed to be deleted now. (And according to the emotion Dusty used, it seemed I was not the only one that did not understand his "advoidance" one...) But who cares. Main point is that John is well again!

pretty sure these were not meant as riddles, but a comment from another non-native english speaker.

Ok.
