Incredibly the long haired teenager I first met some 31 years ago is 50 today Party. Time has definitely flown.

But, you know, what I saw beyond the prog-rock "stubble and hair cut" (with attitude to match!) all those years ago was a very responsible character, as much as he tried to hide it.

Whilst I was a senior engineer and needed anything complicated building he was the guy to trust in getting it right, and I'd go as far as saying that without him the YRN engineering division - Audionics Ltd - would not have been a patch on what it was.

He joined my solo efforts around 2003 and it's been a pleasure to have him working alongside me ever since. He took on a load of responsibility and has been the voice on the phone providing the great customer service many have noticed, whilst being able to construct and solder together a number of circuits at the same time! As Bruce commented "he's the guy with ten independent brains".

Anyway, the long hair is now short and the job has turned it grey, and he's suffering those "old age" pains many of us know about. He became bionic around 10 years ago after a high speed cycle crash with a road sign up in the Peaks, but thanks to his bravery and lots of support and ingenuity, it was business as usual.

We all (John, Leo and I) went freelance in 2015, joining together as a sort of cooperative to bring you HiFi System Components, but we could never be the same without each other.

So have a good day today John, and let's have many more great years making good sounds!

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

I've decided to add a decimal point today and act like a 5 year old. The wife said it wouldn't make any difference anyway.
