Right then, I'll be offski! Take care, folks!
Believe it or not - it's nearly time for me to be off...
And yes, there will be much rejoicing from the haterz, and much weeping from the females, but the time has come (again) for me to bid you all a fond and affectionate farewell.
I made a promise to myself a while back that at 20,000 posts I would leave this website, and I intend to stick to that promise.
There will be no more pk on this site after the next post I make, for that will be my 20,000th post here (and the rest, if you consider the post cull of '04!) but I really, really must be off now.
No really.
No, I must.
Ladies, please, calm yourselves. Things change. It's not you it's me, etc.
I could mention all the reasons why, none particularly related to this site nor am I detailing them herein, it would just be pointless dragging up old shit, been there done that, laughed out loud, no regrets. Had more fun than not.
But I'm busier now than I have ever been, chasing my kids around, running three jobs, and this has all sadly become a distraction I don't need right now.
I don't have the time to make swift responses I used to, nor the ability to figure out who the cunts are from the diamonds, nor do I even care who's calling me silly names these days.
It's different when you work for someone else - but when you work for yourself, spending hours here is just ripping yourself off!
No need to offend everyone just for the sake of it anymore either, even the cunts... it's been fun, I'm happy, you're happy, everyone is happy.
And I apologise to nobody for anything, basically.
Nobody got it that didn't deserve it, nobody dished it out that couldn't take it.
I've another new venture and a new start, workwise, and it will take all my time, 24/7 to balance it with my homelife - unfortunately urban75 has to go... for now. I have to work in Sweden and Africa for the next couple of months, and make it back for festival season here. Scary schedules.
My deepest gratitude and best wishes go firstly to the editor, mind how you go matey, call me on the phone if you need anything, I've still got that 5k PA system locked up locally, brand new amps...you know the score.
Thanks for putting up with my bullshit for the past fuck knows how long - seven years??? - had lots of fun here one way or another and of course I'll see you in meatspace - always a pleasure doing business and always a good time at the Offline so I hope to see you there soon enough.
Best of luck to all the others putting on proper parties, you know it's good - we love it more than they ever could.
These are the memories we take with us.
All those smiles and afterwhiles. There is nothing better in life.
Sincerely...
Best of luck to LD and his good lady on the move back to NZ - let me know if you want to offload any of the gear I sold you, I'll happily buy it back if you need it shifted, I kinda miss that big desk, especially as it once belonged to Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame! You still have my number, or can get hold of it..
I think I can say here as a farewell that I hope the fruits you seek will not be to hard to find - you know what I mean by that.
All the very best to Blagsta and his impending dad-ness!
Great news, get some sleep whilst you can!
Best of luck to Dub and Pieface on their impending nuptials, be excellent to each other, and even now long after the event I will never forget the best ever name for a party anywhere in the history of the world "Now Is The Winter Of Our Disco Tent" ... I wish I'd though of that, it's fucking brilliant and you should keep it for an annual event at least.

Be lucky, everybody!
I have one more post left before my self-imposed exile, so I'd better make it a good one I suppose.
In the meantime - here's a pretty cool picture of yours truly, taken last Wednesday in London.
Though you can't really see my face, you know I'm smiling.
I'm the one with the beige jumper and size 12 Timberland boots, just to the right of the frame, staring down into a big TV camera, wearing a black wooly hat to conceal the baldness, or should that be boldness? If Travolta can get away with it, I fucking can...

I'm a right lucky fucker right now, and by quitting this site now, whilst I'm ahead, I'm hoping to keep it that way.
Those few people here who actually know me will probably understand.
The majority who don't know me will doubtless invent outlandish reasons as to why I quit now, which I will read in due course, and laugh even louder. Just make sure it's funny for the rest of the readers, eh?
I'll see some of you at the Big Chill, I'll be larging it (of course!) and DJ'ing on the only yacht on the lake (if you go, you'll know), if not... elsewhere perhaps... you never quite know with me, eh...?

You fucking love it.
Bye!
(hey! I've one more post left - so don't delete my account just yet!!)
