Adios Amigo!

My mate Ian had to return to 'The Land of the Long White Cloud' recently because he couldn't sleep at night knowing that government officials could burst through the door at any minute and throw him on the next cargo plane home. Well, maybe not quite as dramatic as that, but he had to go and many of us here are disappointed we had to say goodbye.

He's been a good friend to me here and we've had many good times. Ian was here before me so played a part in helping me figure out and explore this new land. We had a great trip to Amsterdam over Easter where we met some good friends that couldn't refuse our combined charms (or something like that!). Throughout the year our social lives have been closely combined so there's a bit of a gap on my friends line-up now, that I'm keeping open in case he can find a way back.



A group of us went to the School Disco for one last blast with the fella. We had to dress up in school clothes, wearing ties etc and had a great time groovin' to classic hits from our younger days. It was a pumpin' night, a fitting send off for out buddy who we shared so many others with.


Anyway buddy, we're sad to see you go, but happy for the times we had and you'll always be part of our memories of expanding our lives into the exciting international arena...
