Hey folks...

To those who remember me around here, I haven't been around much for the last few months. Well there has been a reason...

I have been working very hard to earn the money I needed to buy my first house :D

Apologies if I appear to have not contributed much but I will be about certainly more now that I have a broadband connection in my new home :cool:

Oh and watch for the odd practical prank.. you have been warned :p

I'm just starting to realize what it takes, and subsequently what it means, to own the American dream (and British, I'm sure, too :) ) Congrats on accomplishing something that great.

It takes a lot! A hell of a lot more than I thought but it's worth it :D

I am off to IKEA again shortly, another £100 of stuff to collect :o

Thanks mate. Small doorways are cheaper, so I can afford my Focus ST with that gorgeous 5 cylinder 245bhp T5 engine. You know, the car you want but cannot have :D
