Nearly Goodbye
« on: November 09, 2009, 02:20:04 PM »
I'll be flying out in a couple of days and may have no Net access before then, so I bid you a fond farewell until I log on in Oz.
Thanks to Nige and Roger, (who makes great soup, by the way) and sorry to Steve, I would have liked to get a meeting on the way down, but the arbitrary nature of my travel plans worked against it.
Didn't get a bright sunny day in the entire three weeks, it was dreich and grey throughout, but I still love Britain, and it was great to see my breath steaming in front of me this cold Bristol morning. Haven't seen that in many a year.
Speak soon!!

Good riddance, you poof. Try and get some pool practise before you come and embarrass me again.

Oh, and safe journey.  ;D

It better be my turn next flippin' year! That's two year running he's passed my house at over 70mph. A guy could get paranoid...

I'd go out to Australia, but with what I've got it's out of the question. About £8.50.

Not that I care, but safe home, McGookin.

I apologise, in advance.

He told me he would be passing the end of your road, Tarks.

I didn't mean what I said, Malcolm. It was meant to say "Haste Ye Back".

I'm back.
Nothing at all has changed. In fact the remains of the cup of hot chocolate I made in my Beau Peep mug just prior to catching the flight to the UK was still sitting on top of the computer box when I got back! Also, the same bag of oranges which had just started to soften and decay were still in the bottom of the fridge.
I drove just short of 3,000 miles when I was over in the UK, from Dundee to Dorset to London and all points inbetween, convinced that whilst I was having my great adventure, things must surely have evolved in Australia, but no.

Well if you wait a little longer, something will be evolving on your oranges.

Is that a euphemism?

Welcome back, Malc!  Everybody probably thought your Beau Peep mug was too precious to touch.
