Up Up and Away!!

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final villain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
I'll win the fight, of which I'm certain.

I've played a game that's full.
I've traveled each and every zoneway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it in Skyway.

Faceplants, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did, what I had to do
And saw it through without exemping.

I planned each long taskforce;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it in Skyway.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate the debt and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it in Skyway.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it in Skyway.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not his game, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it in Skyyyyyywaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!


Yep, you read right folks. Monday is a sad sad day indeed as I take that final trip, that long walk in to the darkness, that final journey through the city I've come to love so much since EU beta...

I'm leaving you all for pastures new.
















To go to St Tropez for 10 days!!

GOT YA!

Well.. I'm taking my laptop, but even I'm not mad enough to pay £1.50 per mb roaming data charges!

Now, if there's a wifi hotspot within range...

I'll admit I bought this

Though I think it would be one of the true signs of the apocolypse FFM leaving the game, right up there with GG switching to Union.

Surely you mean GG rolling red-side?

But yeah, have a good trip FFM!

Yeah, have a good holiday, mate. Operative Seven will be around to keep a watchful eye on 'trouble' when you get back.

Does Brigitte Bardot still hang out down in St Tropez? Oh, and take a hat - we were in the Carmargue the week before last and it was 38C!

Have a good holiday!

Damnit FFM, you even got me with that till I read the last bit, thought you pulled a sneaky retreat on all of us. Do that again and I'll eat your children!

... Uhh, how many minutes per pound do you think human flesh needs in the oven?

Have a good trip, and see you when you get back. Think of it... all that swealtering heat, the fierce sun burning down on you, all that walking, all those French people, no game, no forums, no MSN...

Glad it's not me!

Depending on where you fall on the rare/well done scale, anywhere between 5-15 minutes as long as you remember to baste regularly and add a sprig of basil or two.

Basil is far too overpowering for human flesh.

A bit of Thyme is so much better for preserving flavour, even the Egyptian's used it.

Only 10 days? Blast! I was going to ask if I could have your stuff!










Can I have it anyway?


However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator

Meh, your attempts to alarm us are as nothing to GR's Issue 13 headbendery!

Even so, have a great hol FFM!

Although it appears his alarm has fooled a few of us, myself included.

Have a great holiday FFM, bring me back a stick of rock
