Well, I would just like to say that, although circumstances prevented me from either meeting Pete or contributing to his stay, this thread has made me so very happy.

In the light of all that goes on that may be considered *unfluffy*, this is a classic example of what makes this forum so great.

Congratulations to all involved, watching this evolve has been an absolute joy.

I totally agree, we are after all the fluffiest forum in the universe! :-)

*yawn* *scratch* *mmmmph*

'allo chaps

After the comfortable ease of the flights over, the trek home was long and arduous. Heathrow Terminal 4 is a shitpig of an airport, a thoroughly unfriendly environment where I spent 3 hours waiting for flights after a llovely coach ride in from Oxford. The flight home was packed, but I did spend the flight next to the only other sole traveller on the plane, a llovely 4'11" lass by the name of Sophie, who was a good laugh. Managed to read the last 130 pages of "The Blind Assassin" (top book, especially the chapter entitled "The Tower") and watch 3 moovies (50 First Dates, Spartan, Twisted) on the way to Singapore.

Short stopover - enough time to ascertain that I wouldn't be buying a "cheap" iPod in Singapore - then a really annoying 7 hours back to Sydney, during which the video system crashed 10 minutes into every moovie - bastard thing. No problems with customs, despite my rural traipsings; then off back to llovely, llovely Adelaide.

My beautiful girl met me at the airport - no photos of that, thankyouverymuch

. Bit of a restless night, but I'm somewhat rested and chirpy - "chirpesque" might be appropriate.

Many many many thanks again to all of the YakYakkers who helped make this such a wonderful experience - and especially to Markie and Ian for their invaluable assistance. You'll never know how much I appreciate it

*yawn*

Did I say "rested"?

Oh, and another thing - guess what the first thing I saw was in my office this morning?

The mouse I was convinced I had "lost" on the way over to the UK.

Hmmmm... piccies will be up after reviewing; though most of the best have been posted already

My Tour Diary, on the other hand, is a much bigger piece of work...

Welcome back MooBaa.

Great to here you has such a great trip
And much Kudos goes out to the YakYak crew for creating
such a memorable trip for our antipodean friend.

i am sure i am not the only foreign softie who has felt a twinge
of jealousy reading through this great thread over the past few weeks

I'm glad you're still alive after your heroic assault upon the Guiness tap at RV
