(and by "bastards" I mean "friends")
I always wanted to do one of those "I'm mad, and storming off into the wastelands of the internet" threads. This isn't one of those, however. In about a half an hour I'm off to pick up my wife Adrene from the airport. She's been, as most of you know, deployed to Afghanistan for 6 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days. Needless to say, I won't have much time for the forum!
Like last time she was deployed, you guys provided me a great distraction - laughs, debate, new comic projects to work on - and I'm really thankful for that. I'll never understand the boarder who runs off in a tizzy because this place is so "rude". You guys are great, and I can really only say thanks for helping me get through a tough time!.
I'll be seeing you later!
Can't express how happy I am for you Matthew!
See you soon my friend.
What he said.
Cheers!
Jim
Delighted for you Matt, Enjoy your day It must be a great relief to finally get Adrene home.

Enjoy enjoy enjoy! We'll still be here when you get back
Hey don't worry about us, we'll manage without you....somehow....(sob!) Just don't forget how to get back!
Have fun with Adrene! (God that sounds bad! You know what I mean!) Catch ya later!
Have fun Matt! See you soon.
Enjoy yourself, sir! Really pleased for you both. And we'll see you later; probably in about an hour or so, when she walks in and says "look at the state of this place! what have you been doing while ive been gone? Go upstairs and tidy this house up now!" ;-)

Think of us on the 4th of July when it's legal to shoot Limey's like us.
If anyone deserves a rest and recuperation it's undoubtly the brave soldiers in Afghanistan. Hope you have wonderful time L.o.D and that you visit again soon.
Toodle pip Locustsofdeath and Mrs Locustsofdeath All the best and hope you see us all soonish.
Brilliant news, revel in the homeitude!
Great news indeed, Matt!
That's a relief. That she's back and he's fucked off.
Great to hear Locusts, hope you have cause to stay clear of us for a good long while.
Good for you.
I usually like to see someone storm off in an entitled huff but in this instance I'll let you off, Matt. Very glad for the both of you, and I bet it'll be great for the young ones to see their mum again.
If the board started a thread where we all post chauvinist comments about your missus quitting 'man's work' and getting back in the kitchen where she belongs, would she see the funny side? I think she would. I think we should all do that now.
AS A FAMILY.
Screw you man!
I mean enjoy your quality time and we'll be here when the need to nerd overcomes you once again.
Good to hear some good news for once. Hooray! :D
May you swarm in joy LOD, it's truly A Good Thing that has happened - time for a reversion to Locust of Love? ;)
M.
Good for you and yer missus, Locusts!
Hopefully we'll see you back here before too long...
Fantastic news, Locusts. Have fun and we'll see you soon.
Laters maters!
What is this, your blog?
So you apparently like us less than your wife. Well that's lovely.
Hmpf. Still, I'm magnanimous enough to say congratulations on your good news. I can say without bitterness that I hope you and Adrian have a lovely reunion.
Get in!!
I mean, Nice one mate!
Never got that pulp indie comic script off u, let me know if u still want it done
(not that i haven't got other stuff 2 do...)
Enjoy!
Chi
Let's all talk about him while he's gone!
He'll not be long - his inner nerd will start to twitch again in no time
Congrats man - good to hear :)

Yeah, I wondered if I should mention that script you said you were going to send me, and now someone else has done it first... ;)
It's lovely to have a positive 'leaving' thing - although I hope you don't disappear completely.
Godspeed, Locusts!
See you soon, compadre. :) Great to see you leave.
Great to know that your wife is home safe and sound LOD. Enjoy the break.
George
Sod off!
;)
Give her one from us.

It took until page 3- but we got there!
All the best, matey!
Good to hear she got home OK. Have a good time and we'll see you back here quicker than you think when she finds out you've not done all that DIY because of your 1,000 press-ups and sit-ups a day (which I believe is a euphemism for masturbation, at least I hope it is).

I'm also happy to see the back of you, too ;)

Let's be honest, if you got a whiff of a bit of skirt* you'd drop us quicker than a baby's dirty nappy with a hand grenade in it.
* Literally?
Glad to hear that your wife is back safe and sound.
filip
Awww. This is nice.
Great news and seeya when we seeya..
Great mate. Enjoy the "quality time".
Top news my man, and don't do anything I wouldn't........ er just enjoy yourself.
V
Glad to hear it. Or should that read we'll miss ya?
Have a fantastic time and we'll see ya when ya when ya can make it back.
Have fun.
delighted for you.
Really happy for you both. May peace and joy be be with you.
This has warmed my cockles, good news!
great stuff!...now we can make sweeping generalisations about Yanks without being told off and reminded that there are nice chaps like Locust about.
Ah, thanks guys :-[!
She's back and I still can't believe it. When I saw her get off the bus it was an unbelievable feeling. As much as I wanted to grab her and hold her, I let our daughters have first dibs and it was hard not to cry just watching them hug. But Adrene's home now, still jetlagged, but safe and sound. I feel an overwhelming sense of relief that it's over!
So overhelming you had to jump right onto... this forum.
Still, I can only imagine how you feel. Good for you.
Aww stoppit yer gonna make me cry!
Thats awesome mate! Happy for ya!
This thread makes me feel warm and fuzzy, I'm glad Adrene is home and safe.
