Title: in a bit... See you Bye...
Post by: scutfink on 26 June, 2006, 04:49:29 PM
?Kay, here?s the thing, I?ll be starting a new job next week. A proper, long term, permanent thing, so I?m not going to have so much time to hang about here (Give it 6 months ?til I get bored/ fired/ Internet capable at home.)...

So yeah, when I started posting here regularly about six months back I?d been a grey since the turn of the millennium or thereabouts. So I never really did the ?New to the board thing??, but since that seems to be the norm these days perhaps this can redress the balance a little?

Anyway, as of next week, I?m not going to be round here so much, so I just thought I?d take the opportunity to say cheers. There?s been a lot of water under the bridge, some laughs, and a fair few  disagreements. But all in all, one way or another I?ve enjoyed the time I?ve spent here?

I?ve discovered the joys of wikipedia and youtube (although that?s probably better with sound?) and there have been a couple of invective diatribes followed by a therapeutic backlash/ response structure that saw me through some rough times?

Aaand well, for the time being at least, that?s all she wrote, pretty much. I know I?ve fallen out with a few of you, and there are others out there I barely know, but just so you know, it?s nothing personal, I?ve just had a change in circumstance?

Whatever, feel free to leave random abuse after the beep?

And now, the end is near?

Naah?

Now is the time to say goodbye,
Now is the time to yield a sigh?


Nope?

So long and thanks for all the fish,
So sad that it should come to this?


Nearly?

Well, it?s one blip, two blip, three blip go!
You?ll never blip my twenty ?til you lobe my diddio?


That?s more like it?

Quiet Andy, wait 'till he's out the door...


Urm, yeah, bye Scut. Hope you can make it back one day. The next John Smith story we see won't be the same without your utterly impartial and well-considered constructive comments... :)

Heh.  How come Ace Trucking Co. (the early, funny ones) never gets the reprint treatment?

(Cue several examples of how I'm wrong about this..?)

Don't worry Jimbo, I'm working on channelling my rambling incoherence into a more Tharg friendly form, coming soon to an input page near you...

I can feel the Heroclix already...
