Goodbye Newham!

It has just occurred to me that when I leave work tomorrow for the last time, I will probably never work with Ian again. The medium by which the mad scheme to escape the country will be no more. Ian will cease to be a colleague, and instead be a flat-mate. That’s quite a shift.

No more will I see his cheruby little face, moaning, barking orders for "Tea, get me more Tea dam you" over a mountain of paperwork, and trying to achieve the improbable (although not the impossible. We have managed to pull of some events in the past. The Primary launch event we did, I was particularly proud of).

No more Stratford. How can I leave this beautiful view of the high street, the high rises and Dog Sh*t Lane? For what? Vancouver? Somewhere I have only heard good things about? Where the people are nice and the air clean? Yep!

(Lovely Stratford: Breath in in boys as it's all being knocked down for the Olympics. Hey ho High rises)

And people look as us as if we are the crazy ones.

I got a very old disposable camera developed today. I wasn’t really bothered with it. I know I had taken some photos at a Halloween party last year, but it was an event I was trying to remove from memory, rather than bring it flashing back. However Ian, was quite insistent. Back in his single days he used his significant and varied powers of allure and charm to get absolutely nowhere with a blond Swedish strumpet.

Being Ian’s wingman and constant ally of support during this time, I selflessly sacrificed myself to attack the gatekeeper (her room-mate). I had to take her out of the game, so Ian could enjoy his moment of glory with the sexy Swede.

I upheld my end of the bargain with customary zeal and sophistication and I have the scars to prove it. I earned my wings that night. Therefore in Canada, you can be my wingman.

N.B. Ian didn't really try to pull the Swede, not with me in the room. He wouldn't do that to me!

Who knows, you may soon be working with Ian again in an almost identical office in Canada, but where everyone is the opposite to the people in Stratford. And they all have tiny beards.

Who knows?

Good luck to you sir. May your travels in the New World bear fruit.

Hi Bully, There are not too many good free forex ebooks related sites that aren't full of junk posts, search engine scraping and except for keyword stuffing, nothing useful related to free forex ebooks. It was nice to find an exception today when I happened upon your site. Keep it going.
