Hello, hello, HELLO!!!
Blimey. I had no idea that this thread existed until I got word from Jez, Mike and Barry. I'm completely bowled over, to say the least. I honestly hadn't realised it had been so long since I was last on the boards... days turn into weeks, then months... you know how it is :lol:
I mentioned to Jez last week that the work/leisure ratio has been tipping the wrong way of late... added to that, I'm going to see if I can manage my full time job as a fork lift driver (which I detest) to train as a
demon Barber (which is what I really want to do) in my spare time. Sweeney Todd will have nothing on me.
Star Wars courses through my veins, and I will always count my SWFUK buddies as the best friends a chap could hope for. Thoroughly heartwarming to see this thread, to say the least.
Was that too soppy? I thought I restrained myself rather well.
And just for you lovely lot, here's a photo of me in my tweed plus-two's. Steady on now, Todd.
I'll be popping in to the Echo Base 2 event in Leeds on March 7th, if any of you local(ish) guys can make the journey then it would be great to see you. Failing that, I am determined to make at least one Farthest From this year
Thanks again, chaps. You're all... bloody marvellous.
Martin
