General Forum - So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu :( - Page 1

Today I retire (that's private pensions for you). It is my birthday. I am 60 (tell me about it!).
It is also the target age I said I would quit here (and also the day I told bloody Onetel to cut me off). I was going to mention it yesterday but got stuck on other stuff on here and in this premises (natch).
So.........
I want to thank so many on here for the past five or so years. I can't mention any as I am fearful of leaving someone out, far too many. Apart from a precious few (grrrrr), you have all been just amazing.
This place has taught me so much, not just about PC's (the bloody DVD Recorder still will not function!) but about other lives, and your thoughts.
Several are in my thoughts and...moreso...in my prayers. You know who you are (more ambiguity).
I hope that those that have e-mailed me over the years will still do so from time-to-time.
Thanks to those that sent me CD's with music and programmes.
I am, regretably (for Britain was just the best country in the world until the last 10 years),moving back to Australia in a few weeks and back into a life I had all but forgotten. I have been in the UK since 1968. I hope Andy finally does get to see his "home."
A very special mention to all the lovely women on here. Appreciate them much more guys!
So, with an incredibly sad heart, I bid you all adieu and hope that one day you discover the best thing possible. Keep searching, it is already there, waiting.
Thanks everyone for your company, patience and time.Appreciated.
Ta.
Batavia, over-and-out.
PS. I will unfortunately, I guess, have to hand back the Drama Queen t/shirt. It never actually fitted anyway, I was merely being polite.
Now how in the hell do I sign outa here? Gotta do it before I get cut off! This took me forever.
