So long....

and thanks for all the fish.
and thanks for all the fish.

Due to......events sadly out of my control i'm going to be doing some unwanted globetrotting for the next couple of months at the least thus as you've probably already noticed (although my spot seems to have been taken by some more rabid lefties with a perchant for second rate english) i won't be around for at least a while. Before i head off into the ether to seek my fortune........

Special mentions...

Syc - for being a legend

Dave - For finding at least one thing to agree on (out of a few thousand)

UT - News freak, for paying for all this (expect a donation soon)

Xumagad - for doing a better job of my side of most arguements - a sad loss

Griff - dito (except for the loss bit)

Juju - for the highest sage remarks to post count ratio

Slang - For making me laugh

and no doubt another 20 i've forgotten over time

Best of luck to you all and i feel safe in the knowledge that whenever my life stabilises a little this place will still be around offering undoubtly some of the best discussion and (although not always) most level headed debate on the net.

cahtch yuo ruond!

We will be here waiting your return. You'll be sorely missed! Good luck out there! If you find an internet cafe on your travels please do check in.

Have fun! Make sure that you have your camera situation (film/space) adequately set up, take lots of pictures, and don't spend too much time in the smoggy cities!

(I noticed MaggieL's curious absence)

Alex, I admire you for your idealism and for being a persistent bugger. Make sure to holler back at us soon, ya hear?

Is where you're going a seccret? You're talking like you might never come back! Several months will fly by in no time. Have fun out there, man. We'll still be here. :)

That made me smile. :)

Gee, by "globetrotting" do you mean "three months in state lockup, assuming time off for good behavior" or will you actually be on the lam? ;)

Whatever you are doing I hope that the experience is rewarding.

Do check in from time to time, if possible.

I haven't been around long enough to know you well, Jag, but since all these other estimable folks are gonna miss you, well, I will too!

Have adventures, come back with tales of mystery and imagination.

Oh all right. I'll overcome my deep aversion to PayPal if you promise to come back. :D

Remember to take a jacket! Have fun and be careful!

do you mean "three months in state lockup,

Oh...I almost forgot. If you see Big Bubba tell him Radar will be there soon.:D

Running from the law, eh? :) Have a good time, and don't forget to take your chic SARS mask.

Wow. The Australian Tax Thing must be a lot worse than the American Tax Thing.

Looking at that menu of prison systems, I'm leaning toward the bottom half of the list. I guess a Swiss prison would probably be best.

Of course it is silly. They don't have our constitution to protect them from income taxes.:D

So long Jag! Take picures of your travels, return, and show them to us!

When you leave, there will be no one "left" behind! :D

Hmmm... smooth goes to upside down land and jaggy starts running...
