It’s not just me who’s going away – our Niki is leaving for Germany this week but she will be gone for a year.  Boo-hoo-hoo!  Just what does she find enticing about frankfurters and brockwursts?  You're a strange woman, Niki but I love you all the same. 

So what have I got to reflect on over the past seven days?  Erm, nothing very enticing unfortunately unless you'd like to talk about Robbie's new single and video 'Radio'.  I might as well throw in my two pence worth so here goes: I love it and the trouser-snake bit too.  To be honest, I'm mesmerised at how divinely handsome he looks in that ol' naval uniform combo.  The rest of you boys disappoint me, you do.  Tsk!

While I’m gone, you will be in the capable hands of whoever is running riot on the messageboard.  Do what you like on there as I won’t be going near an internet café for the entire duration of my break to check up on you. 

And that's it!  I'm done and I'm off (and I'm tired of this!).  I hope you'll miss me dearly.
