As some of you have already heard (and celebrated), I'm not going to be posting or signing into MSN or AIM for a while as I'm moving house and won't have an internet connection for a while.

I may call in occassionally if I visit a cyber cafe or something, though that will probably be rare if ever.

I'm not sure how long I'll be gone for yet, could be weeks, could be months. However, I promise I will return*. So I'm a bit like Jesus really, only in a slightly less miraculous way. And when I come back there probably won't be any big judgement thing, horsemen, or a sheep with lots of eyes. (There is a sheep with lots of eyes in the bible, honest! It's actually my favourite bit! Somewhere near the end I think.)

Anyway, how to spot that I'm gone:

1) The silences in MSN conversations will be shorter. I bring huge amounts of silence to those conversations and you'll miss it when I'm gone.

2) There will be less fake homosexual humour (where the homosexuality is fake, not the humour. Unless Ben is telling the joke in which case both are fictitious.)

3) Rinso will disappear to an unknown, mystery location. *cough* Wham Cupboard *cough*

I'm actually posting this a day early, I might post some more tomorrow but I'll be gone on Thursday, I'm just telling you early so that I can witness your tears and hear you beg me to stay.

*Or maybe I should let you have your say about whether I return.

I voted "yes, we love you" because you are our resident gay! and every soiaety needs its gay person.

And cause Dale rocks. Doesn't he? Hip hip!


That would also be... CONDENSATION.

Ok, so I voted! :oops:

What's wrong with loving myself?*

Good luck with the move, Dale! But come back soon - who else can we accuse of being gay?

Well.....by the sound of the adventures in the cupboard, there is a certain miserable little chap who might be under suspicion

I bet you're gay!

Really though, yes, come back, of course.

Good luck with everything, and do come back when you're settled in.

Yeah I'm moving to my house at uni, term doesn't start until October but I should have access to uni computers fairly soon after getting there, so I will probably use those to visit the board occassionally.

Occassionally?

Oh well... if you can fit us into your very busy schule of looking up homosexual porn and having your brain eating by alien spawn.

That would take quite some time. I mea who would want to visit these boards when you have so much...time on your hands.

I see you're not taking this news well Rinso, I can tell because I understand that you hide your feelings by calling me gay and saying that my girlfriend is an alien...not sure how you manage both of those at the same time though.

But don't worry, I will visit as often as I can, not just occassionally. It'll give you something to look forward to other than Philip Schofield TV shows, monkey knife fights, winning the annual Mullet Contest (sponsored by Pat Sharp) and that "beard" finally kicking in. Oh and visiting Ireland for the first time.

As for the homosexual porn, I just get out the happy retard pictures...oh, and visit KennyCrying.com (oh, that reminds me, I never got the pictures of my phone...might try and do that now... )
