Haha, excellent! How long had you been prepping that one? You must be an utter legend on f365.
Re: Celebrations
Heh, about a week, once 2950 or so got breached I don't get on the football365 forum much these days since I sorta self-banned it at work (as it was seriously affecting my productivity, and I've just escaped the second wave of redundancies and don't want to push my luck!). They probably like me the same as you guys do though, right?Matt Morrison wrote:Haha, excellent! How long had you been prepping that one? You must be an utter legend on f365.
I actually got stuck on post 2999 at about midday today, and couldn't post anymore til I got home and harvested the images off f365!
Oh yeah, Third Nibble made Underwater Countdowns as well, which Matthew Green will probably particularly enjoy....

Re: Celebrations
Emma and I are engaged! I proposed to her last night and she said yes. We're both very excited. Don't know yet when we're going to get married but we'd like to do it this Summer if we can afford it. In the meantime my 21st party next month is doubling up as an engagement party to save money. We're also going to Paris for a long weekend in March which should be a nice pre-honeymoon getaway.
Here's the ring I bought her. 3rd row in the centre. Needless to say we're both over the moon

About: This momentous double occasion will be on Saturday 16th of this month at Vodka Revolution in Sheffield. I'd like to extend an invitation to everyone on this forum since I think you're all proper wicked like although the venue is strictly 18+ (SorryKai!) I appreciate that it's a far trek for most people on here and you might have other commitments, but I thought I'd invite everyone anyways regardless of travel distance, particularly Larsen! There will be food and beer.I wrote:...my 21st party next month is doubling up as an engagement party...

Would love to come, but not possible unfortunately. However, just two weeks later, why don't you get Emma to come along with you to Colin, as she did a couple of years ago. Then the party would be able to be extended a bit.Dinos Sfyris wrote:This momentous double occasion will be on Saturday 16th of this month at Vodka Revolution in Sheffield.

You're a seriously nice bloke, Dinos, and I'm sure you'll make a great, thoughtful hubby.
I'm looking forward to meeting the lucky girl at CoLin 2010!

I would send my congrats in person, but I have no idea when we're next going to meet, since I can't make it COLIN in 4 weeks time.
Still, the best of luck to you and the future Mrs Sfyris.
