I’m puzzled, Pete. :? Who or what is T.K?

They are endearing initials that have a very special place in John's heart Eddie!

Thanks, Pete, but I'm none the wiser. Perhaps this isn't the right forum to discuss endearing initials that have a very special place in John's heart. :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.
Eddie, the endearing initials came about after Pete suggested a possible solution to the recent forum breakdown. Pete's far too modest, those initials are really his creation. I just like them. :D

Thanks, John. I’m still in the dark about the TK initials. How do they relate to a possible solution to the recent forum breakdown?

I hope you’ve had a great birthday. :D

The other day John and Pete were talking on another thread about someone being an amazing Technical King (not Keith but someone else) but it was all a bit confusing.

Hope you've had a good birthday, John!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
