Default Well, a new start!

Hello...again..

Yes I know, "Oh look, KP is back again, how long before he posts a few stupid messages and disappears?"

Well, alas, that KP is gone. I've gone through two family deaths recently, which I have subsequently buried to deal with at a later date, and I think it's time I went back to the few places who really give two halves of a ****e about their members.

I've lost a buggerload of weight, I'm now working, I'm studying with Open University, and I'm single again, but that doesn't really matter. What matters is, all of you have always been here, arguing about degrees, arguing about the texture shade of the dangling bananas (that's what she said), and that blasted Neal, hiding things from us, but sending me a mug because I helped him out, and generally being a bloody nice bloke.

Dowly got an award too, I had to check I wasn't hallucinating twice.

Anyway, long story short, I bloody love you lot. I always will do. As long as there is blood in my veins and a periscope in my corneas I will always love you lot like brothers. Even if you're a scraggly bunch of misfits.

Good to have you back Doc, and sorry to hear about the problems in your life of late, but understand what you mean about burying it. Sometimes that's the only thing you can do until you're ready to face it.
What you studying at the Open Uni?

Welcome back!

I don't want to be all "I've been there", but I'd also left subsim after running into rough times and came back after realizing it's one of the places that, at the end of the day, always cheered me up. You've made the right choice

Good to see you again KP. Missed you during football season. Although you didn't miss much.

Strike up the band!
