Yep, I’m moving over to Dublin to be with my beautiful **Twisty** at the beginning of April. **SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!**

3 months! 3 months! And then I’m gonna get some on a regular basis! 😃  
Anyways, I was wondering if a couple of you might be around for a good riddance drinkie sometime in March.  
[sub](If anyone wants to bake, I have a birthday in March too…)[/sub]

So, dates anyone?

[sub]And for the vanity search… (UK and nearby (I think) but of course anyone is welcome)

Whooee. Moving over there, eh? Is it just to be with the goatee’d leprachaun or are there other reasons too?

In March I’m going skiing but I may be around for it.

Are we ready for you, I ask myself?

No, seriously, congrats to you and to **Twisty** and I look forward to seeing you again, once you get over here.

I don’t drink, so I dont think I could go to a ‘pub’ with you, but well played.

Frightening. _What ?_ oh.

I think this must go to prove SD relationships have more legs than ‘normal’ relationships, except, obviously, for Twisty . . . . . (sometimes I kill myself!).

But this is very good news and I hope the next two-three months passes quickly for you both. Hurrah!

Nice one, **Tir**. The more expats here the better. Introduce some civilisation to these savages.

Bring sausages and marmalade, as the local stuff is not up to scratch.

**jjimm** , we were talking about sausages the other day, I couldn’t belive that **Twisty** had never had a sausage with extra bits in it, like herbs or breadcrumbs or chocolate or stuffs, and apparently you can’t get Guinness sausages in Ireland! eeeeeek!

Luckily I’ll be back in the UK about once a month, phew!

**London\_Calling** , you were so excited you wanted to congratulate us twice? 😉

heh, just goes to prove that what I said about “watch this space you might be witnessing the start of a beautiful friendship” in the Londope '02 thread was true! 😃

Irish sausages, I’m afraid, put the word “bland” to shame. The pork is very high quality, but they’re whipped smoother than ice cream, no herbs or anything, and they’re very heavy on the rusk.

Irish marmalade too is sweet, pale, and insipid: no huge chunks of peel staring out at you angrily from a bastard bitter liquor like, say, Frank Cooper’s Oxford Cut.

Sometimes I weep with loss.

I will be up for 1 or 2 when you come over.

I may be very grumpy however as the bastards may have actually got the smoking ban put into effect by then.

Cya soon.

awwww, poor **yojimbo**! I’ve given up smoking 3 or 4 weeks ago for that very reason, might as well get used to not smoking now.

And just to _really_ annoy you all: It’s EASY! NEEEEENER! 😛  
Once a month or so isn’t nearly regular enough **ruadh**! Now he can moan at everyone for me making him tired all the time! ha ha!  
Who’s running the book on when he posts a pit thread “My Burd wont let me alone!”? 😃

Hey, once a month sounds like a lot to some of us … ☹

Seriously, can’t wait to have you here. But I probably won’t make London.

Congrats **Tir**!! But no more **Tir** at BritDopes??? Who’s going to try fondling my cleavage at Dopefests now then?! 😉

But still - congrats - I’m very happy for both of you. 🙂

Oh, and I’ll run that book - not like I have anything better to do. 😉

A farewell drink or 50 in March sounds good - I’ll bake you a huge batch of ginger cookies (and before anyone starts complaining, I’ll make white choc chip ones as well), and possibly chocolate cake. 🙂

Ah you never know **Angua** I’ll be back in London once a month or so cos of the business, and I should be able to be fairly flexible with my dates, so I’ll see what I can do. 🙂 Cant have your boobies being neglected, although I’m sure enough other people would be willing to volunteer in my abscence!

Yay! COOOOOOKIES!!!  
(I still have to give you back your box thing from last time)
