Title: So long and thanks for all the fish! Time to go!
Post by: Replicant on January 09, 2005, 12:58:07 PM
I've deleted my account.

For all those that I've had the pleasure of flying against for the last 5 years I would like to say a big thank you and good bye!

I have only flown a couple of times since my last full tour back in July and since moving to a new country my priorities have changed.  I had only intended to take a break but in all honesty I haven't missed the game and so I'm going to try and enjoy RL for a change! :)

Thanks to HTC and good luck for the future!

Many thanks especially to the Hornets, Firebirds and 13th TAS, it was a pleasure flying with each and everyone of you!  Everyone else I know, well, you know who you are, thank you!

I'll still be lurking on the boards so hope to remain in touch with the many friends I've made, and met, from here!

Shame I can't pass my 25,000 perkies onto someone!! ;)

Regards

what he fails to mention is that "so long and thanks for all the fish"  is a reference to the title of fourth book in douglas adam's hitchhikers guide trilogy.  there is also a fifth entitled "mostly harmless."

thus, it is fair to say that he will return, abiet slightly less dangerous.

"so long and thanks for all the fish" is what the dolphins say to man when they are done experiementing with him by guaging his reaction when they jump through hoops or do summersaults.  they, being the more intelligent of the two creatures, leave before the vogons destroy the earth to create a new hyperspace bypass.

for those of you who havent read the series, i highly recommend it.  

a movie version is in the works for march 2005.

see you soon replicant and dont forget to take your towel.

Well I'm sure someone will take the initiative and organise something!  I might be back in the UK later in the year and if I'm not up to much I might have a ring round and try and arrange something! :)  I lost count of how many meet-ups I arranged but it was always great fun!  Even better when beer was involved! :)

You out here for Oktoberfest later in the year?

Nope! :)

Yeah, be good to meet up with you and Schutt again soon for some dunkel Weißbier!  Perhaps a Maß instead? :)

Will try and get in touch with the other localish people and see if they're interested too!

Awww Nexx...  :(

You are the guy with everyone from AH's cell number on speed dial.  How are we going to get ahold of everyone for the next time I'm able to get to the UK?  



Was great meeting you the last time and the trip to the War Museum was amazing.  I hope we will get together in the future.

Have fun in RL.

:) :aok

Hola!  Hey old friend!  It's hard to imagine that it was nearly 5 years ago when we'd have our tank encounters! :)  Those were the good old days! :)

Yeah, you have to get to Hendon and Duxford next time!  You'd be blown away!

Let me know if you're planning on visiting or organising anything and I'd pass on all the numbers (if it's okay with everyone).  Cheers!
