well, purely for reasons unknown to both myself and everyone else here......i'm gonna come in to bat for robert here. maybe it was because last night i travelled the SE on a bus, even through the almighty kalangadoo, in a sleepy delirium. either way, i feel some sticking up is in order.
this is a brigade where a maximum number of around 10-15 calls occur, in a GOOD year. So 2 calls in a week is a pretty big F'n deal. All I have to say is that if rob didn't want to go, who cares? Just because there are members on here that would crawl out of a bed when riddled with cancer to go to a fixed alarm call, doesn't mean every other person should follow suit. I agree, sure, don't be one of those people that sits there and goes "oh, i don't think i'll go because i'm microwaving my dinner", but sometimes, you just flat out don't feel like going to a call. We're volunteers for a reason, sure, but not all of us want to completely devote every waking minute of our lives to the CFS.
Then again the man i'm sticking up for was the one who was trying to build his own appliance, so who knows.
overall, cut our mate rob a little slack, we're here to discuss goings on in the CFS and elsewhere, not play schoolyard bully and pay the heck out of him. We've all said some rather stupid stuff on here, its a fact of life, maybe we should all just sit back and laugh a little on here.
