calling it a day!

lav.loo - 2013-01-26 10:13

just thought id'e put a post up regarding my loss of interest in boxes and my decision to take a back step from st2g.

just of late i seem to have totally lost all interest and so i have decided to call it a day.

i wa nt to take this opportunity to thank everyone who as been a good friend to me since my arrival here back in 2010.

i don't know if this will be a permanent leave or wether il'e be back at some point in the future but for now i will be stepping back.

there is a number of reasons for my departure some of which are personal but the main factor is loss of interest.

once again thankyou to all who have made me feel welcome, and a big thankyou to the members who have helped me out and sent me gifts ect, you know who you are.

also a big thankyou to the moderators who made me a mod so soon some years back.

take care all and continue to keep this place as great as it's always been, your good friend Lav loo.

Hey LavLoo, thats such sad news man, ive only been here for 6wks & already ive learned a lot from u, i've even managed to get my Aiwa CS880 well itll be arriving on Wed, which ive been chasing for 30+ yrs. I hope its just a rejuvenation that your going for & not a complete separation.  Maybe u just need a break for 2 mths or so, just see how it goes & when the hunger comes back then start again. Always leave the door open to come back Lav.
Good Luck!!

nah, you joke, right?

 

driptip - 2013-01-26 10:44

hey lav , i'd been there done that and  will still be here when you decide is time to come back  bro, solong for now my man, still have the 5500 i traded with you , good luck on everything you do peace!!  

walkgirl - 2013-01-26 10:56

I tink you might be back often as S2G is rather adictive

 

radio.raheem - 2013-01-26 11:30

good luck Lav....i have to agree though....i have lost interest in boxes and music... life too, i struggle these days just to get out of bed....and want to be with my departed family....anyway mate, you take care for now....all the best RR

I have lost interest in my boxes from time to time but, as others have said, keep the door open.

The whole idea of having a hobby is doing something that makes you happy so do as much or as little of any hobby as you want, if boxes arnt floating your boat at the moment take some time off. Stop looking at ebay, stop looking here and boomboxery and just have a break from the scene.

Who knows, in couple of months the weather may be warmer, life may feel a little better, you may be walking past a boot sale and see a nice box under a pile of junk, pick it up for £3 and find yourself back here with the enthusiasm of a newbie.

 

All the best Lav, hope we see you again

redbenjoe - 2013-01-26 12:16

thanks alot for all you many great posts and your huge step-up

contributions --

when you start to re-enjoy music ,

then boxes become important again -

so - i predict and hope you will be back-

soon & often

nickfish - 2013-01-26 14:33

Holy crap! Who will I take the p*ss out of now?

 

Joking aside, you are among the guys that have inspired me to converse about and seek to own more and more boom boxes over the last year. I now have about 65 and am always looking for more!

 

I get that our interests suffer from the ebb and flow of day to day life and we are not the people that we once were nor are going to be but certain highs in our otherwise mundane lives will return from time to time and warm our hearts again. Make sure you keep the two machines that you have and remember to enjoy them when you can. I have no doubt that you will be back and will once more extol the virtues of the D8614; lest we forget. Take care.

 

Nick

nak.d - 2013-01-26 15:53

Good luck and hope to speak again in the future sometime!

retro - 2013-01-26 16:36

Sorry to hear that LAV, thanks for all the great threads and contributions when things were slow around here. You actually kept the forum going and I hope you return soon.

ao - 2013-01-26 17:36

pioneer - 2013-01-26 19:02

Hey Lav it's not always easy to say goodbye so i'll just say T.T.F..N It's been a blast reading the post's you leave from time to time,some rather interesting.some silly and other's very factual but most of all my friend you are a light for many and the member's here including myself will think of LAV.LOO. with much respect,heck if wasn't for you man!it might as well had been PIONEER to jump ship first,Lav take care of what's up and we will chat again your friend always from Canada Steve   (A.K.A.) PIONEER 

northerner - 2013-01-27 00:58

You're not quitting Az, we won't allow it....you're a key member on this forum always there with a new thread, a positive comment, or a funny joke.

So lets call it a short break whilst you sort a few things at home please mate and then come back when things brighten up and you get your interest in all things boombox back.

Met you at the uk meet and you came across as a really nice fella, and its clear from your comnents on this ere forum that you're a good guy so I genuinely think the forum won't be the same without you mate...so come back soon Az

deech - 2013-01-27 03:06

It s not so good to read these news LAV.

You are a nice person and your comments and posts

and humour are inspiring for this forum .

I m sure new members came here because of some of your posts.

You make S2GO brighter and open , not a dark place .

When i log in i m searching for your posts which

are always make me smile and i guess  others  too.

You are a genuine and much respected s2ger .

My thoughts are that you will be back soon

keeping this forum alive and kicking.

Simply you cant leave us man.

andyboombox - 2013-01-28 02:17

im with you azz mate,as you know,apart from great traders like you,si,and others on here theres no boxes in the wild and the flame has gone out.....again.so i am taking a break frrom this hobby and moving onto other fields of interest,sorry guysi mean,the trades with other lads is great,but the passion and excitement of finding radios in the wild has been taken away from me and azz,by the fools who think they can charge what they like on ebay,so thats it....and from me azz its been a pleasure having all your input on here too....brothers forever bro

glen - 2013-01-28 02:29

Wow. ... What's going on with you guys your all just starting to bail out. Looks like your passing the torch on to us new bloods to take over.
Best of luck Andyboombox. Good luck down that new road you'll be travelling down.

northerner - 2013-01-28 04:16

I'm calling it a day too....a day to collect and obsess about Boomboxes, same as I do every other day

don't even mind that you've done an Andyboombox quit for a few days, just glad you're back Az

glen - 2013-01-29 05:16

So basically LavLoo u needed a listening ear cause of the doubts floating around in your head of how u felt about the Forum/Boomboxes etc. maybe u still need to chill for a while to recharge the batteries/Clear your head so to speak, but thats for u to think about. But if your staying its a good look.
Btw, CS880 should be arriving 2Morrow, fingers crossed.Originally Posted by Lav Loo:
