Title: The Tank - tata, thanks, tipple time Post by: tikay on May 31, 2007, 05:55:46 PM Some sad news & some good news.
The bad news....Tank has decided to retire as a Mod. He'll be a huge loss to the blonde Mod Team, he is wise way beyond his years, & he's been an absolutely super Mod, well able to phrase tricky situations "just so". I always look for Tank Posts, they are as entertaining & eclectic as any, & his absence is a blow to blonde. The Good news - he's decided to get a proper job! And knowing Tank, he'll make a huge success of it. The job will require him full-time, dodgy hours, & so there is no room for his Mod duties on blonde. He'll still pop in & Post when he gets time, so that's good. And the job - he's gonna manage a Pub! So all you Scots boys, I hope you'll support Tank, support his boozer, & help him off to a flying start. He can spam the Boozer on here as much as he wants, that's the least we can do for him. We wish him well, & thank him for everything. I hope you'll show your appreciation to a truly top bloke.

Title: Re: The Tank - tata, thanks, tipple time Post by: thetank on June 01, 2007, 08:52:59 PM Thanks for all the kind words, I'll still pop in by the forum every so often I'm sure, so this ain't goodbye. Also, I'll be sure to make my way to the odd bash if SWMBO lets me.
The new lifestyle can feel odd, I have days now where I don't even turn on my computer, let alone play poker or post on blonde. It's good fun though, the real world is pretty much as I left it a couple of years ago. Plus I'm around about a half stone lighter than I was this time last month. I'm not sure the pub gig is going to pan out in the medium or long term so probably no backroom poker games, sorry (long dull story.) Seems like I never stick at anything for more than 5 minutes, but there's a good reason I can assure you. I've a couple of second interviews in similar-ish roles set up for next week, and I'm pretty confident that I'll get offered at least one of them.
