Title: Counting down the days
Post by: Newts on September 08, 2005, 10:34:30 pm
I move out in a week, and my new pad won't have Internet access there, so I will no longer be the regular fixture of Ye Olde Blah that you have all grown to hold with such ambivalence in your hearts.

I'll still be able to access the 'net from Internet caf?s and libraries, but I don't think they'd approve of me posting on Ye Olde Blah, so the best way of getting in touch with me will be e-mail. Not that I'm expecting anyone to want me or anything.

Well, now that I've told you all, you can each have a little cry in here, if you like.

Newts is leaving Ye Olde Blah.

:newtscrying:

(gonna miss you, little guy)

That sucks, no way to get like some cheap dial up or somthing running there?

Cheap dial-up is still an extra ?200 a year that I'm not sure I can really afford. Besides, I will be expected to actually do some work to pass this course, not like my old one.

I will, however, be returning home a couple of times before Christmas, when I might get the chance to catch up with stuff here. Or I can email Ty and tell him to post on my behalf, although he rarely posts on his own behalf, so why would he on mine? Stupid idea.

Hmmm, then this leaves Blahia in a serious lack of sarcasim/Ninjas. I have a bad feeling that the dark times are coming.

I've been thinking about it a bit more and it's going to impact on this place a lot huh.  DON'T GO!!!

How about a promise of a couple more shining songs by christmas?

Then whenever you're wanting to do something constructive apart from studying you have a couple songs to make!  Awesome! :P

There will be no replacing you, with your stealthy afro style and deadly turn of phrase.  Good luck for the new pad and study etc :)

Hey Newts, where are you moving off to anyway that they're so restrictive about the internet? Are you going to a campus or something?

Elv - I'm hopefully bringing all my musical stuff with me, so don't rule out seeing more songs whilst I'm gone.

Dev - I'm moving into a flat with Hannah (my girlfriend) and Kelly (her friend). We all have computers, but we've made no definite plans for buying 'net access. Like I say, I can use the Internet at Uni and libraries and maybe post once in a while, but I'll probably just be too busy.

I hereby remove on the ceremonial ninja headgear and afro. Whoever wants them is welcome to them.

Girls like internet, if you play your cards right i think you could be looking at free internet access... :) If you split it three-ways you could probably afford it easily enough, i don't believe three people with three working computers will abstain from the internet, you're not that strong.

oo yeah with 3 people it's only 5 pounds a month each :D  (doesn't that sound attractive ?  hahaha )  

AND of course you'll be missing out on the new features they're bringing to the internet.  Free food sent right through the cable!!  ;)

Nah but seriously I know what it's like starting a new flat, pretty fricken expensive eh.  Hmm.

I'm not sure we'll even be having a phoneline, as we all use our mobiles quite a bit. I don't know... we'll see.

EDIT: I've gone old-school with my avatar now, as I couldn't find a decent photo of myself to use.

I remember the first thing newts said to me...

Something along the lines of "Oi, you nicked my avatar!!" :P

Nevertheless, its time I sent off Newts in true Newts style. With some excellent use of the English language at our tongue twisting brain scratching disposal.

Newts is a true maestro of word concatenating. He also knows exactly when to use CAPITAL LETTERS, mostly in the presence of a GIANT SPACE BEETLE WITH LASERS.

His sonic speed wit and inexcusable introductory insults to the likes of Tony the crumpet and skater will be missed dearly. His vicious vocabulary of veritable vindications left his victims in tatters, his fierce reputation had the masses running home to find a dictionary in dismay and disbelief.

Newts buddy, you will be missed mate. Best of luck for everything.

Chris, that's possibly the best thing anyone's ever posted. I'm going to print this topic out and post it on my wall at Uni.

PS Sorry about the avatar thing.

PPS I didn't know what concatenate meant. I do now.
