Message for Naji

[Dr Jazz]

Yes I know, yet I have the understanding that Lebanon is still a safe country dispite lots of refugees. But to my knowledge there are no war in Lebanon at the moment. So I hope Naji is just very busy and will soon be online to play again.

I don't want to be accused of scaremongering, but I see that I sent Naji a PM on 19th October and that it still hasn't been picked up. That's over three months ago and with a big, fat holiday period in between. Given the fact that he has previously been a regular (and much valued) contributor, I must confess that I am now becoming a little worried for him.

Here is the latest guys.

Today I received an email from Naji. He was very apologetic about his absence from the forum, sadly he has some justification.

As you are all aware there is a lot of turmoil in that area of the world and Naji is not immune to what is going on around him. As a result he has had to prioritise certian aspects of his life, one of which is his business that he owns. He explained to me that for the past few months he has been making arrangements to relocate his TV Production Company to another Country, as you can imagine this is extremely difficult, and time exhaustive. His main concern at the moment is for all his employees who he feels personaly responsible for and in order to safe guard their jobs he has had to relocate the main part of his business (TV Production) abroad, leaving the remaining staff in Lebanon to run the business administration, thereby ensuring that for the meantime he does not have to consider redundancies.
I have absolutely no doubt that as soon as Naji has his business interests back on an even keel then he will be back with a Bang! I look forward to that day and i hope that it wont be too long. I am sure that you all appreciate that sometimes this Forum and collecting Matchbox can become less important when you are facing a major problem and it certainly seems that for the time being Naji has had to divert all his energy in a different and more important direction.

Thanks Alex for the update. It is very heartening to know that Naji is well. I know I'm not alone in missing his presence here and looking forward to his return.

Cheers,
Gavin

Already done Nick, he is in no doubt that his contributions to the Forum are missed and that everyone is thinking of him at this testing time. If i hear anymore from Naji, i will let you guys know.

We should try and convince him to relocate in the UK by telling him about all of the wonderful toyfairs we have every weekend.

....I will ask Naji to come to the Austrian mountains.

....And we have very good beer with us.
