Well people!

Its been a fun and interesting one and a half years at WAT, but this evening I leave my office for the last time, hand in my laptop and vacate the premises. Tomorrow, I will be disposing of my home computer leaving me without computer access for the first time since 1984! This will obviously restrict the amount of time I will be able to access WAT!

In mid-January, I will be catching a flight from Heathrow Airport and will be relocating to Wellington, NZ where my priorities will be finding a cricket club, learning white water rafting and finding a job (in that order!). I will be gone for a total of 21 months.

Suffice it to say, I have already made arrangements to see some cricket at the Basin Reserve, Welly thanks to the tour of the West Indies to the Southern Oceans in February 2006.

Although I will be around for most of the rest of today, after that, I will be gone for at least a month - possibly longer and I thought I should take that opportunity to say:

Have a good Christmas
And a Happy New Year
And good luck to all your teams
Except when they're playing England or Essex

You've been a wonderful audience! Good night and good bye!

Happy moving Andy. I hope it all works out well for you in New Zealand. Just an advice, to the list of your priorities, please add finding a sane a hairdresser. And please make sure it isn't the same one used by the Marshall twins.

Hi Andy, you will be missed. I note on the Members List that your replies outnumber your posts which is a strong indication that your posts have always encouraged discussion. That's a great example you have set and WAT has been the better for it. If we can all follow your example we should be a stronger and happier board when you eventually return. Best wishes for the future. The Ashes will be on in 2007 just across the Tasman so try and pop over to see the Boxing Day Test match in Melbourne if you can.

I fully intend on seeing some of the Melbourne and Sydney tests in 2007! I'll have to keep an eye out for when the tickets go on sale though, as what's the betting that there's a bit of rush to get them!!

Tickets sales begin in January a/c to this report, exact details will be announced on the 10th day of the New Year. Quite Amazing that the authorities expect as big an influx as 40,000 people from the UK and elsewhere (wouldn't that fill up WACA and the Adelaide Oval, and about one 40% of the MCG too?!?!).

Good luck Andy.Have a great time.

Yes, all the best, mate. Hope you'll be back here once you have found a computer in New Zealand.

Have a good Christmas Andy and I hope everthing works out for you in the New Year in New Zealand.

Most of all make sure you have a good time, and I hope you make it back to WAT soon.

All the best.

Hi Andy,

All the best with your relocation to NZ. I wish you luck doing all the things you plan to do and hope it all goes well for you.

As for not having access to a computer, it can't be that difficult to forget to hand your laptop in this evening, can it???? Well, you would only be forgetting for 21 months!

Be good!!! And if you can't be good, make sure you get away with it!!

See you,

Lemmo!
