So Long London....

[shoshntosh]

dear fellow forum-ites

just a quick "farewell" message as tosh and i are heading west to the new world (new england to be exact) to raise our kids in the shadows of new hampshire's white mountains. it's been a great pleasure logging on for my forum "fixes" these past couple of years. i have to say that my new local forum (from what i've seen thus far) just doesn't compare. but then, perhaps i will feel less in awe of the incredible wit of the ED forum regulars and therefore more at home there! we yanks just don't seem to have the mental inventiveness that you all have. (see how i can blame my bluntness on my nationality?)

be well, all!

signing off now...

shosh

p.s. many many thanks to the admins for all their work on the forum -- it has been an incredible resource for us

[brum]

Sorry you're leaving us, but all the best for your future life in the US. You can always log in from there, just in case you get withdrawal symptoms....!

[Chick]

You can still post from the US

[SeanMacGabhann]

These people, they speak the truth

Think of Huguenot, digesting all the days postings and then firing off a volley of responses whilst we all sleep

Have a great time in NH and keep in touch - you should have had a leaving party or something

[Michael Palaeologus]

Noooooooooooooo!!

Still, keep watching the ED Forum and so keep in toouch with dear old Blighty.

Put us in touch with your local Forum, we could have a Twin-ing! A few ED Forumites might liven things up a bit.

Oh..

Give it a few months "in the shadows of new hampshire's white mountains"

Soon enough he'll be back for a bit of "EDF sunshine"

What's the internet for after all ?

But maybe though....

...he's being given a "new identity" & his Boston based " Fed " handlers won't allow him to blow his cover.

What with New Hampshire being the safest state in the US, it all makes sense

I suppose though ,at least he has got "this" to look forward to

"Pwwwaacck..."

*blows duck call thingy, ponders what he might have done*

Good luck anyway... "they're behind you"

( just kiddin" )

Well his Fed handlers obviously didn't do their homework cos now I know he's going to New Hampshire after flipping and ratting out his friends.

Watch your back wiseguy. The Rat Protection Programme still won't stop you getting whacked.

[Moos]

Best of luck in your move and settling into your new home, Shosh and Tosh and kids. May you be very happy.

Sorry I never got a chance to get to know you better - but please stay in touch with the Forum, and invite us all over for a fall party!

[Keef]

Best wishes to you, and have fun!

[PeckhamRose]

Could EDF charter a plane and all go to the housewarming party?

Been to many states in the US but not New Hampshire.

;)

You'll be back here, you need us.

Best wishes.

[shoshntosh]

thanks guys. we do have 12 bedrooms and a guest cottage over there so plenty of space for a forum field trip... (yes, i know, now i'm just bragging... but that's what you get in NH for selling a house in ED). sorry.

and yes, i could log on from the US, but i think it will just make me sad and homesick, all you clever clever people having monthly drinks and exchanging witty banter. whilst i have earnest, heartfelt conversations all the time.

[????]

If we're all so clever how come we're crammed into ?500,000k+ 3 bedroom workers victorian terraces and you've got 12 bedrooms?

Good luck etc

As a regular visitor to Maine, I have occasionally slipped over the border to New Hampshire. The White Mountains are beautiful ? would love to have them on my doorstep every morning. Slightly worried by the state motto of ?Live Free Or Die? ? seems like a tough ultimatum.

[Administrator]

Good luck and you are always welcome back, as long as you stay on topic.

[ImpetuousVrouw]

Can you take any passengers?? :))

[Michael Palaeologus]

I think a Forum trip to New Hampshire would be an grand idea....

Did you used to be a pedant?

[Huguenot]

I think the Administrator simply 'is' rather than is or was something.

In dealings with deities I tend to scratch my nose and take an interest in passing cars rather than address them, you know, directly. ;-)

I love you Shosh. You are breaking my damn heart. I am coming to visit you, and I am bringing Sean with me...
