Hahaha

Oh dear, I miss the old days :)

ps I know I am uber-late on this post but, really, what the Fuck does it matter anymore? Unless Drmo or someone similar picks a more suitable (and foreigner-friendly) place for us all to reside/ramble, we may just end up drifting apart... (this saddens me immensely)

Although (he says, perking up), a lot of us have managed to move from the good-ole-days to the fuckbook days (where there is no forum to speak of, and issues that have been berated at length already). So, maybe, somewhere like blogspot, might offer a home for us simple refugees?

I love and miss you all. And it has taken me a long time to realise this.
