Now the scene is set, I'll begin:
After 11 months and 2000 posts of unadulterated vacuousness, I'm checking out.
Don't get me wrong, I'm keeping the VX, but Big Steve has to end.
I turned 40. Conceived another kid. Made a lot of friends. Got air time in my bikini
and pissed a lot of people off. Probably the latter, mostly. Best of all, I was SPOTTED!
I've decided I need to stop being a jack ass and start acting my age,
so I won't be posting here any more. I'm going to adopt another ID and just
watch the site, posting sensibly and trying to contribute positively.
A few confessions, which are self evident, but for the record:
- I don't actually care about silver; I'm ambivilent toward it, but don't hate it.
- My wife was not an olympic shot putter named Astrid.

- I have never driven naked.
- I really don't like biscuit seats (even with the blue), but under other,
non-trolling circumstances would not care enough to post.
- I do hate Doncaster. And Leeds. But that's just based on my personal experiences. I'm certain
they are lovely places really. <yeah, right>
- I really would have liked to have found Elmo. I thought some of Elmo's posts were
both amusing and very original.
Cliffie - I secretly sooooo wanted Lightning McQueen - Gee - My little boy would
go nuts if I had that.
Wolfstone & Mrs Wolfstone - laughed plenty at the puns and the idea of you
both posting from separate rooms of the same house.
Nelly - Living proof that it's OK to be Welsh. Go figure.
Turbobob - Spammer and fellow Queen fan. Switch is rare for a reason, though mate. Sorry.
2.2_na - Quality randomness. Yes, I'm fat, Rob. But I could diet. You
will always resemble Carl Pilkington and will always have owned a silver car.
bbd - The beer chicken will be a family recipe handed down through the
family for time immemorial. Thank you.
Wannabee - The quiet man of the Essex crew. Keep on trucking.
Rob999 - Cooler than Clooney. Women desire him, men wish they could be him. Or the other
way round, possibly. Nice seats, anyway, mate.
Ali - Thank you for the intros and sticking up for me when Zoobeef called me a
ladybottom. He was right, by the way, but thank you.
Nev - Either you made up the bit about shagging liz hurley (making you an epic
troll and therefore a hero) or you shagged Liz Hurley (making you a love God
and therefore a hero). Either way: Party on dude!
Stuwy & Lizzy - Love you both - Good luck together!
JO4Y D - More spam please!
Goosenka - Genuinely funny and engaging guy. Pleasure to have spammed with you.
Fab - as above, with bizarre added Frenchness. Hope you get well soon, mate.
Artic Monkey - Your roof removal technique will live with me forever

wrong - unless you are a lorry, I suppose.
Boombang - Deaf on Stratford platform - fsking priceless! Laughed 'till I cried.
Thank you also to Techie, Slindborg (Clio, my arse), Joe589 (are you really old enough to drive?), Sutol,
SteveA and others for their genuine offers of help and free stuff posted to me.
Oh and whay-eye the Mangham54
Cheers people - I enjoyed posting here. Never did a web forum before, never will
again (well not to that extent).
Big Steve
