Okay then Clovie ... I trust ya. Because, of course, you'd never lie to your governator now ... would you 😛 ? Let's hope then that Santa brings you something nice come Sunday morning ...

And as for pheasants ... they're a type of bird. Behold:

Heh - you forgot the tigers and sharks 😛 . As I said ... let's just hope that they don't ravage either me or Santa before Sunday or the presents really will be non-existant 😛 ...

Dunno... something nice and special 😄 . Hmm.... can be you being back 😛 .

Ahh ... interesting. Heh - at least that means that you get to use your presents from the minute that you wake up on Xmas Day 🙂 .

Oh, you tease 😛 . First your age, and now your language; you're such a mystery, Clovie ...

Huh? My present can be me being back?! Great! Phew! I gotta tell ya, that's a big relief to me since A} I'm already back, and B} I had no idea what to get you! At least now I won't have to make up another story about present eating wild animals 😛 ...

Hmmm ... I wonder whether yerssot will also accept me being back as an early Xmas present 😱 !

Hmmm ... I might as well take this opportunity to respond to some very old posts from this thread, now that I finally have the opportunity to do so ...

Awww, thanks Clovie! I'm sure that I'll have a great time up there with my older bro 🙂 . And as for presents? Well ... we'll see 😉 ...

I do. Nothing ...

You're staying with him 😊 ?
We'll see... presents? 😄 baby

Ah, Clovie ... what a shame. I was kinda hoping that when I returned to the KMC that sparks might fly between us ... but I guess that 'twas not meant to be. That's really unforunate; we could've had something really special 😛 ... but hey - why ruin a perfectly good frienship, eh?

Indeed; not only did I go with my older bro to noo yawk back in July {I had a blast with him}, but I'm also now living with him in a 2 bedroom flat in London 😱 . It's all good because he's a really cool, laidback person, and we get on really well ... though we do still get on each other's nerves sometimes {like all siblings do, I suppose} 😉 !

Presents? Uhhh ... oh yeah; I completely forgot about those present eating bears, tigers, and sharks. Sheesh - what a mess THAT was 😛 ...

Your bro is older, right? 😕

all imaginary? detective

I knew you made it up!!!

Dunno... we'll see.

Coolness 🙂 . Must be nice to get a lil' bit of a head start over other people ...

Awww ... but I don't wanna have to think 😛 ! Couldn't you just tell me instead? It'd be sooo much easier on the ol' noggin 😛 . And hey - if it's a secret, then you can always whisper to me; I promise I won't tell a soul 😉 ...

Uhhh ... ermmm ... did I say "make up" 😮 ? {Checks Post} Hmmm ... ummm ... I guess I did ... {reads} ... "At least now I won't have to make up another story about present eating wild animals ...". Well ... all I can say is ... that's obviously a typo 😛 . That's right - it's all just one, big, big typo! I of course meant to say "flee from" instead of "make up another story about" ... 😛

Hmmm ... where IS yerssot 😕 ? I guess you were right, Clovie - he IS coming here less these days! Why, in the olden days he would've responded to me being back in a cold second 😛 ; but now ... I've been back almost a week and he hasn't shown up yet. Oh well ... guess he's busy, then. What's he gonna do - not show up for 6 months or something 😛 ? I mean ... no one would something THAT crazy ...

All imaginary?

Why the 😛 ? I realise that it IS faintly ridiculous to respond to posts that are 6 months old, but when else have I had the chance to do so? And I DO still want to lay some of these old issues to rest, even if some of the points that I'm addressing ARE many months old ...

Again, that's a real shame, Clovie; I guess you never felt the sparkage that I did 😉 . But, as you said, I suppose that settling for a good friendship wouldn't be so bad; but, oh ... what could have been 😛 ...

Ah, coolness 🙂 . Does your friend live in London, or were they just visiting? And, just out of curiosity, which part of London do they live in/did they visit?

He is indeed older. By 6 years, dontcha know ...

I have already addressed that last point 😛 ; not imaginary at all ...

Sigh ... little did I know then that this would be the last thing that I would say to you guys for 6 whole months! God ... I still can't believe how long it's been since I made this "impromptu" farewell, and with no fanfare of any kind; again, I'm sorry if I scared any of ya with my absence 😮 . Sheesh ... and I always thought of myself {based on past experience} as a guy who physically couldn't leave the KMC, even if he wanted to 😛 !

Still ... at least that wasn't my final post ever; I'm just glad to be here now 🙂 .

A bit belated, this, I know, but ... it was very sweet of you guys to wish me well on my travels 🙂 . Thankfully, I had a fantastic time in new york; there's so much to see and do there that you really can't get bored or not have fun! I'll definitely wanna go again sometime in the future. Anyone else ever been there?

I've never been there {to London}. {Plus} me's never been on the other side of ocean.

Dontcha mean "it's just fun to see people go insane trying to guess" 😛 ?

I already told ya - that was a typo. A big, big, BIG ... typo; not a massive slip of the tongue at all 😉 .

Hope he shows up soon 🙂 .

Oops - sorry! In that case, I guess I must have misunderstood what you said before; the 😛 must've confused me ...

Oh dear; I guess that I was the only one that felt some sparkage between us, then 😎 ...

London and new york are great places to go; you really should at least visit one day, if you can ...

who's going insane? 😱

ok.. I soo believe you 😉

So do I cry

the only possibility 😉

but I don't understand what do you mean 😮

maybe London one day....

mymymy, what a chatterbox you are huh 😉
well, it's good to see you here, I do hope you'll check in regulary 🙂

short but powerful responce from me, you're not used to that huh 😉

Originally posted by yerssot

A short but powerful response from me; you're not used to that huh 😉 .

Oi, oi - enough with the "chatterbox" label, old bean 😛 . I mean, does it really surprise you that I have so much to say? After all, I WAS away from the KMC for a whopping six months; not all of us can check back here as often as you do, y'know😉 ...

Besides - if you'd bothered to actually read them, you would've seen that most of those posts were touchingly written in reverant praise of your good self; but now that you've made that "chatterbox" comment, I've gone back and edited ALL of them to say what a mean and evil old miser you really are - so the truth's out, old boy 😛 .

But - I digress {though still, I maintain, not to the point of being a chatterbox 😛}; it's great to be back here at the KMC, and it's good to see you again, old friend 🙂 . It's good to see you all.

I haven't yet had a chance to say this to you personally, yerssot {as you were away for a couple of days last week}, but I heartily apologise for my long and unannounced absence; as I explained in an earlier post {which, I'll just tell you, appears halfway down page 45 of this thread - so you don't have to read it if you don't want to, old bean 😛 }, this was unforeseen and highly regrettable - though, I hope, not something that will be repeated. Sorry if I worried you guys - I certainly didn't expect to be away for so long! See? There IS something to be said for grandiose leaving announcements after all 😛 . My apologies also for being away for the last week or so; as I'm sure that many of you will appreciate, things have all been a lil' bit crazy around the festive period. Hope you all had a very merry christmas 🙂 .

Whilst I do truly appreciate the sentiment, old boy, therein lies the flipside of me being, as my profile currently states, "back for Xmas ... and back for good" ...

As I already explained in an earlier post, I have now moved out of the college halls of residence that I was living in last year, and into my own flat {in which I finally had wireless broadband installed just a few weeks ago}; thus, I am no longer "under the college's thumb", as it were, and can now freely access the KMC from my term-time accomodation whenever I want to {though still not from university itself}. Hence, I foresee no more long absences over which I have no control ...

BUT ... as I'm sure that you will all appreciate, being the busy people that we all are {well, most of us anyway 😛 }, we cannot always find the time to visit the KMC when we want to. And herein lies the irony; whilst I am now physically able to come on here much more often than I used to, that does not necessarily mean that I will do - again, especially during term time. Indeed, even if I had been living in my own place {with internet connection} from last year, I still might not have come on here much more than I actually did during term time ...

But, even so, the good thing is that, from now on, the pattern of my visits to the KMC is, I imagine, going to change for the better {almost to how it used to be whilst I was at school}. Instead of posting a lot during holidays and not at all during term time {i.e. in heavy bursts}, I can probably now start making posts on a more regular basis - though, as I've suggested, perhaps less frequently during term time, and more frequently during holidays. Fingers crossed, eh?

Why am I saying all of this now, you may ask? Well, to be honest, I'm doing this now because I might not be able to post on here again for a couple of weeks at least. After all, my exams are coming up soon, and I have to start revising for them fairly soon; and once THOSE are out of the way, it'll be back to uni, and back to studying for me ...

But please - don't get me wrong, my friends. This isn't another one of my self-imposed "exiles" from the KMC {akin to my, ahem, "permanent" departure last August}; I'm not doing this, as before, because I'm worried that the KMC is taking up too much of my time {though it is 😛 }, and hence feel the need to come on here less often. But at the end of the day, one has to be realistic about such things; and, especially after disappearing without warning for 6 months, I felt that I at least owed it to you guys to explain the situation in full ...

And listen - if you guys are ever concerned that I seem to have disappeared for an awfully long time, then feel free to PM me and drop me a line. It's always appreciated, and I'll be happy to let you guys know that I'm still, um, alive 😛 .

And so then - farewell for now. That's it - no teary goodbye, and no omimous "watch out folks - Ahnold has officially left the building once more"; for this is not goodbye, but simply ... au revoir, and see you soon.

A very merry christmas and a happy new year to you all 🙂 .

Ahnold

I don't like exams schmoll
