Oti is back hello hello, got to say I was always more on your side of the fence. Look at the recent Yorkshire cricket situation, and it turns out the outraged Muslim kad is anti semetic.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am Otium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am Otium

Just unblocked you didn't agree with a lot of what you posted but that's free speech, and rightly so . The best part of most books are written on the last pages stay proud, you get 1 chance at this silly game we call life. |

Otium had asked me to post something in this thread on his behalf this morning... When I logged into DATM to do so (message already copied) and opened up this thread, he'd been re-instated by a matter of minutes. I took great pleasure in telling him he could tell everyone himself  Welcome back Otium. |

Didn't always agree with his views, but my God the man can tell a tale. And an extremely eloquent debater, who always sticks to his beliefs. Welcome back Otium.

Anyway, enough of blowing all this smoke up his arsehole...
Oti, what tales have you still got to tell? I reckon you've unburdened a few on here, but here's your chance to set the record straight.
What have you kept to yourself? The more Flashman the better!
(His stories are as entertaining as Enoch's but Oti probably has actually parachuted onto Sentinel-X with John Noakes).

Welcome home Oti. Place hasn't been quite the same. The last post I read on here that really made me smile was the one of yours about the bicycle purchase. I've missed that.
Take really good care and I hope you get to ride that bicycle again.

Dear Otium,
You sir are one hell of a human being.
It stands out to me that you have lived in many a mans mockasins and lived to tell many a fantastic tale …..tales that not only entertain us but actually the ones that know ….. yep know they are real ….. know I don’t know you but I will have met you in the old cowshed days however I knew good people who knew you and everyone spoke and speaks so very highly of you and with good reason.
I respect how you never backed down on your beliefs culturally and politically when the gangs got together on off topic …. For me you spoke from experience and sense , the world is a big place and you have experienced a lot of it and placed your thoughts and views eloquently … much of which I understood and indeed agreed with , I listened and respected your opinions as they had and still have gravitas.
Anyway sir , keep fighting …. You are for me and I know many others a datm legend and a great man and town fan.

Dear all, thanks for all the kind words and good wishes. You all know who you are, i cannot tell you how many private messages, texts, emails and phone-calls i have had from DATM'ers wishing me well. Death approaches and i hopefully face it in the same way i have faced life, with my head held high and with stoicism. I do not fear the end, in fact in moments of great pain i will it on, but i fear being an invalid. A man as independent as i hands over reins with gritted teeth. I feel proud and secure in the knowledge i am a good and fair man despite what some on DATM may believe. I like to think my political and cultural views are borne of my great experience, how it irks to be called "small-minded" a "racist" or a "Xenophobe" when i know the complete opposite to be true....well, i cant legislate for others, i can only plough my own furrow and plead my case. As you approach the end there is a clarity of thought (at least it seems so for me) and one realises that life is love, simple pleasures, nature and about maintaining honour and integrity. My luck has been boundless, i have truly seen the globe, experienced far more than any man deserves to and enjoyed almost all of it. I have tried to live in a way that does not impact negatively on others (i even refuse to flush the toilet in the night in case it wakes neighbours!), however my simple viewpoints and political stances seem to irk the new, strange people that society produces in ever increasing numbers. Tell the truth and you never need to remember anything as the saying goes and my life has always been an open and honest book and rest assured despite the ban that will continue. I thank the Admins for rescinding the ban, a little bit of me hopes that its more than my health situation and that some common-sense prevailed in the discussion. My sense of humour is naturally dulled by my mood, the terrible pain and the morphine treatments but i shall endeavour to entertain and stimulate. Love and peace, otium. Fine words. All the best to you, Sir. |

Glad to see you back on here Oti, i hope we all, including you, get to enjoy whatever time is left. Don't be coming to Jacksonville for that pint now that JB has opened up the borders, not because I don't want you to, because I am currently in New Mexico topping up my Indian culture in the high desert. You would love this place. Whats wrong with me, I bet you were here first. Stay strong.

Take really good care and I hope you get to ride that bicycle again. That fucking Polish bicycle....lethal. Gave it to a beautiful young lady called Magda (there is something so sexy about girls on bikes). Not heard form her since....i do hope the bike has not done for her! |
