just would like to share the following with the board...
1) i've finally booked the family holiday to New Zealand for 6 weeks over Jan/Feb, and looking forward to going back to the place where mummy and daddy got married
2) i've got a new job starting monday in leeds... rumours of following LMS around like a bad smell are indeed false... in fact, the opposite is actually true ;)
this means that my time on the board will be limited and decrease from 0.1 posts per month to around 0.05. like anyone will notice
thinky
btw, Carlsborg... i did get your email and am not ignoring you (not that i said you said you were, if you know what i mean?)... i'll get back to you v soon

yeah, gotta get your worth haven't you? the only downside is that i'll have to walk for an hour a day (15mins from home to York station, and 15mins from Leeds station to work, all x2), but as i'm aiming to look buff and display my torso when on holiday, that's probably no bad thing

I stumbled across the cover for my third Nikolai Dante novel on the Black Flame site, featuring an original painting by John Burns. Is Dante grabbing hold of what I think he is...?

actually New Zealand is 10000 miles due east of Australia and famed for its Oak barrel Smokies.
Whatever Oak barrel Smokies are (if they're so famous, how come I've never heard of them), NZ is a lot closer to Melbourne than the UK is. Drop in, I'll put a shrimp on the barbie or something.
