thats true, the reason he's not been around is because of the above he
didn't want folk taking of pity on him, he wants to come to terms with his condition, then he may start supplying parts again.
Best of luck to him, i'm sure it won't be long before he's back doing some
more blinding deals

He did seem fine to everyone else this has been going on for 2 years believe it or not like Guzzler said he did not want people to feel sorry or to pity him, not to mention the depression he went through and the grief of running his business which he gave up in Feb 04 ML does not exsist but carried on tieing up all loose ends of the business with no help from his partner. However he is doing bits and pieces when he can and is fighting hard to get back on his feet and to work alone as when he feels. Its hard to believe he is disabled now.

There isn't a contact number for him and Jay doesn't work for him anymore.

Thanxs for the update chuck boost I'm finding this all bit hard to take on board tbh. I know he had a few problems a couple of years ago but in no way did I realise he was having this amount of problems

As I said before hes a top guy and we always spoke for quite a bit when ever we met. If Matts reading this and wants a break away then theres always room here. Or even if he wants for anything else for that matter then I'll do my best to help as thats what mates are for

Never got the chance of doing any trade with him since my company had not been set up properly at the time. I must say he was always very friendly and a top bloke when I inquired about products.

Ive only got minor back problems myself and yet it had drastic change to my life so I dont dare to think how it would feel having severe back problems. I really hope you get through the hard times and recover in the best way possible.

Chuckboost, I think Matt would be surprised how many real mates he has and how many people do give a shit

We're gonna have to kidnap him when theres a few shows on and bring him out as I'm 100% sure there will be a lot of people happy to see him again

Ive just got off the phone to Matt, cheers Matt (GUZZLER), meeting up tomorrow for a cuppa with him. He's in good spirit and has asked to to put this post up.

He wants to thank Nath, Lee, & everyone else who has replied, he didn't think anyone give a damm about him. He's wants to come to terms with everything & apologies to everyone for not being on the seen. Matt thinks he's lost his reputation in the RS game & on her, but thats a load of bollox ive told him.

Please be patient & he hope to be at Central day

Matt also said he will try and get on here to say thank you, but all we want is for you to get back on your feet mate & see you at the shows.

Like i said Matt, i no im 100miles away but if theres anything a i can do, just call me.

To be honest, I never got on with Matt, and he and I exhanged some unpleasantries via PM on here.

However, with someone in my family suffering the same, I can appreciate what he's going through.

No pity from me, but just wishing him all the best.
