I'm nearly not here...

**vifferman** · 13th August 2008, 09:28

I'm taking the BigMetalBird to Yrp tonight, via Hong Kong and Londinium, so you guys (and guyesses) can have a few weeks break from my rambling rants.

Unless I get bored and find an Interdweeb cafe or somesuch.

Might post a photo or two here...

The schedule is overnight in HK, then two nights in London. Eurostar to Brussells, then rental car to Deurne (Netherlands) for a week of visiting family and sight-seeing, before going back to Brussells to catch a tour of Yrp: Belgium - Germany - Switzerland - Italy - France - UK.
Then four nights in the London and surrounding areas, before having a break to relax

in Los Angeles for a few days.

It's a tough job, but the vifferbabe reckons I'm just the person for the task.

Try to not fight amongst yourselves while I'm gone.

Sorry. The vifferbabe has got it packed to the gunwales

... err... brim.... with stuff. Enough "stuff" for 33 days or so.
And some stuff you don't really plan to take on holiday with you, like her Dad's ashes (well... half of them at least).

Hmmmm... more things to worry about. I'm already anxious enough. I thought it was supposed to be a vacation, but it sounds a bit intense to me so far.
And expensive. I think it's around $15K so far, and there's still some hotel bills to pay.
And the rental car.
And shopping.
And building/buying a new house when we get back and find the boys have burnt it down / trashed it.

No, don't ask for the address for the parties/carnage - it'll probably be on national news...

Make sure you find time to sample all the Breweries in that part of the world hehe... Make it to the Hoegaarden brewery is one of my life goals

Have fun mate!

We promise to fight amongst ourselves whilst you are living it up. So to speak.

The La Trappe brewery/monastery (only Trappist monk brewery outside of Belgium) is not far from our base in the Netherlands.

I'll try to have fun - not as easy as it sounds, as I'm a natural worrier, and worried my brane is going to play up.
I expect some really memorable fighting from you lot, but PLEASE try to not kill yourselves. Each other is OK, but no stupid fatal motorcycle crashes.

Don't worry about us to much the normal bitching/fighting will continue, and the dicks will contuine being dicks, and the dumbasses will keep being dumb.

But, but...we's gonna miss youuuuuuuuu!!

Oh well, I'm over it.

Have an awesome holiday, and stop that bloody worrying. The thing is, things will happen whether you're here or not, so just relax and enjoy...even if you have to force yourself to!

**alanzs** · 13th August 2008, 11:33

Take lots of cool pics and post 'em here. Have fun!

**Swoop** · 13th August 2008, 11:38

Beware!

Yrp is FULL of bloody foreigners who don't speak bloody English!

...Some of the beer isn't too bad. You had better sample it all to get a proper opinion...

Have fun and don't do anything that I wouldn't do...
