If I was Mike, I think I would feel a little bit ourwhelmed by all this.

Maybe step back a bit folks?

What do you mean step back? Slot of people keep in mobile contact with mike and have met him in person. We are just keeping the thread going while h sorts his Internet I think :-/

RAS

I suspect he can find his own thread?

Is there some kind of glitch in the system? Mike's profile says he was here last night at 10.55pm?

True - but I think part of the reasoning is to keep this easily available in case someone in a similar situation comes along. After all there have been a number of people contributing to the thread who have builder (or lack of builder) problems and Mike & the mob have been happy to offer advice and support.
There was even one person who had been considering employing the very builder Mike had trouble with (Paul Bridle of Horsham) and posted to say they had were glad to be warned off him.
So yes - a mammoth thread and we do waffle on (admittedly we enjoy it) but there is a constructive purpose behind it all

Whilst you are entitled to your own opinion RAS - those of us that were with Mike at the weekend know only too well how overwhelmed and emotional he is. We know he needs time to come to terms with the change in his life. May I also remind you that it was this thread with all its hilarity, seriousness, dedication to the cause and bloody minded determination that brought Mike's case to the attention of DIY SOS in the first place.

I talked to the producer last week and she told me that the hundreds of emails that we sent really caught their attention at the moment they were looking for a Big Build to close the series of DIY SOS. She was facinated to hear how 100's of strangers could stand behind Mike and fight for his cause.

Now the fight has finally reached its conclusion, we are all still rallying around Mike to support him in any way we can. Lots of friendships have been formed on this thread and I for one look forward to the daily dizziness in the lives of us all.

"Step back a bit folks" - I think not.
