Hey.....Psssssssttttt.....I've hijacked that feckin' useless bast**d Neilll's Retroike account to let you know why I have been 'dark' for the last few months......he really is inept and shouldn't be trusted with my livelyhood cos he was supposed to only be keeping me for a few weeks.
Instead the MoFo kept me shut in a dark box for months on basic rations and filled me with false hopes of seeing this fine planet. At the start of this week though he seemed to have a change of heart and built me a nice big foam lined packing crate and gave me a proper going over with Loctite as I had suffered some flesh wounds on the way down from Pickle in Lincolnshire. My injuries are now all healed and the other day he let me out to play in the snow (see pix below).
He is taking me out on a bike ride soon and will soon be mailing me somewhere else so I can continue my journey around the planet Earth.....guess he's not that much of a tosser, just a bit feckin slow at doing things (you should see all the unfinished bikes round here, it looks like a scrap yard) :roll:
