I'm Back!
So, I wander of the face of the Earth for a year or two, and what do I find? The USA, that fount of freedom and democracy, has overthrown not one, but two governments in the name of the aforementioned. Not to say that those two weren't repugnant or anything like that; they were. But the current installed governments aren't exactly shining beacons of the aforementioned. We also have an escalating situation in the Near East (when I left, Arafat and Sharon were almost on speaking terms), North Korea set to have a finger on the button as soon as the button gets installed, terrorists spreading faster than poppy farms in Afghanistan, and a record low grain harvest for the fourth year running.
So I leave for a bit and disaster strikes. It has become obvious that you lot cannot run the world without me. No rest for the wicked it seems.

Once you get over the initial panic stage, oxygen starvation is actually a rather pleasant sensation, almost like falling asleep.

Are you ocking me? You do realise I have never juxtaposed the letters O and H in a mispelling, don't you? You have thereby demonstrated your own ignorance of my distinctive spelling reform of the English language.

It appears you've lost your way...
I note, with no surprise whatever, that NOAA has clocked you at speeds in excess of 140 MPH bearing down on the Eastern Seaboard of North America. It's yet a long way from old blighty, Fabz...

Oh my. I'm not sure anyone not totally and officially drunk could still recognise me from that picture. The beard for one has dissappeared and reappeared multiple times (currently mia), and I have sadly lost the ability to pull such a stupid face. I s
