431.0. "I'm outta here" by GALVIA::SPAIN (signed long gary();) Mon Aug 08 1994 12:47

    
    Friday next, August 12th will be my last day in Digital.  I am moving
    to Dublin and take up employment with Oracle.  I've enjoyed my seven 
    years here and will particularly miss this conference.
    
    I will still be on the internet and hope to keep in touch.
    
    
    Gary.

Good luck Gary,


Hope everything goes well for you in the new job because it doesn't look like
either Chelsea of Limerick are going to give you any joy , again, this season. 

So you'll maybe become a Spurs/Crystal Palace , Bohs/Rovers/Shels fan now ?

Cheers,

Peter.

    Gary,
    
    you will be sadly missed.
    
    Rightly or wrongly, I have alway's consider yourself and JF the
    founders of the conf. and for that alone I am eternally grateful.
    
    I am pleased we got to meet and see Chelsea together, even though it
    did rain all through the game.
    
    You and the Galway guy's were very hospitible to us (BA) when we came
    over a couple of years back and gave us a couple of good games and a
    great night out, I have never sang along all night before without
    knowing the words.  In fact normally when I start singing people leave.
    
    It was good to see you for a beer before the FA cup, pity you had to
    shoot off early to find a ticket.
    
    I hope you can keep in touch and that maybe sometime in the not to
    distant future we can take in another Chelsea game or two,
    
    Loz.

Good luck Gary. Renounce the devil..eschew Stamford Bridge...follow your
natural urges and be drawn to the mecca in London SE25.

I'll see you for a Ballygowan before the month is over.

    I wouldn't mind a move to Dublin myself, but I don't see it happening
    for a while.
    
    Best of luck,

Gary,

You mighn't realize it but Rovers will be your local team unless you 
want to support UCD.  

Keep a seat warm for me in Dalyer!  And keep that mot of yours away 
from the Euro championship qualifiers.

Cheers,

    Gary,
    	Thanks for all the work over the past x years in keeping the
    conference 'together'. It hasn't been the easiest of tasks.
    
    Naturally, I've got all the confidence that whatever your role in
    Oracle will be, it's bound to be a success for you.
    
    Good Luck....

    And now, the end is near, and I must face the final curtain....
    
    On Friday, I'm off to pastries new with some dundy dosh in my back bin.
    I'll miss the informed, impartial banter from most of you. I'll also
    miss Cunno's Looneypool twaddle and Neil Cosseys Chelsea/England
    raving.
    
    Here's hoping ManUtd retain the league and Reading win promotion.
    
    Good luck to all you turnip-heads.

        Tony,
        
        Good luck for the future. Its a shame that you are afflicted 
        with an affection for that mob from Salford, but I am sure 
        that you have some redeeming features.
        
        I have enjoyed reading your notes around the net. There have 
        been some good wind-ups, some funnies, and one or two 
        surprisingly frank entries ( note 303.31 ROCKS::UK_TV ).
        
        Have fun,

Tony,

Good luck. You'll be missed !
It's strange to say that about people one has never met, but there you go.
It was good to recognise a name and know that the note was invariably going to
be a good read.

Thanks for the contributions,

    Tone,
    
    Its always nice to see a note set hidden and think 'Ah, now what's the
    young man said this time'. Not so much in this conference but the likes
    of WOMANNOTES, PIPE_ORGANS, etc. I must admit I was not surprised to
    read your frank admission in the TV notes (as pointed out by Stuart) 
    because we all know that you are the moderator for the conference
    COMEOUTOF::THECLOSET. They all claim that you'll bend over backwards
    to help in there.
    
    Anyhow, enough of this, good luck in your new job at Newbury and
    remember you owe me a pint or seven.

    you guys a call and catch up with all of you.

    Lads,
    
    I leave Digital this afternoon and I'd like to say thanks to all
    contributors to this conference. It's a nice way to know whats going
    on in footie, and there really is some funny stuff in here. Monday
    mornings never were such a laugh. Cheers for the info and chuckles and
    occasional argument. All the best.
    
    Also I leave and the stock prices goes through the roof. Coiincidence?

    On Saturday 24/6/95 Motorola takes over here at SQF. and with it an end
    to these notes.As I have only been employed by Digital for 5 months and
    until then didn't even know that a system like this existed,I have 
    thoroughly enjoyed all of the contributions given to this conference.
      Although I didn't add much to the conference,the views given by
    others are a credit to each and every individual even though some of
    them were(IMHO) controversial,humorous,knowledgable and downright
    cr*p!!
    
    For the future I hope that Glasgow Rangers go on to achieve 10 titles
    in a row,Lift the european Cup and that Paul Gascoigne is awarded an
    MBE for his services to the Scottish League.
      I would like to take this opportunity to wish all fellow bluenoses
    all the best and when down on your luck, just think,it could be worse.

    Well I'm yet another one who will be out of here in the not too distant
    future... I've been given the package & I'm just working my notice
    which means that I could be out of here from anywhere from the end of
    June to the end of August....
    
    Its been fun noting in here... & even chatting with the odd Scumchester
    fan.... ;-> 
    
    Cheers,
    
    	Rick.

    Out goes Rick ....... in comes Mike Fowler. Anyway, Ray counts as at
    least two manc-baiters!
    
    
    
    Rick, you will have to give us some advanced warning of your leaving
    date so we can make sure you get the send off you so richly deserve!

    I do hope this isn't some kind of sarcastic reference to Rick's
    love of all things sheep-like.  
    
    All the best Rick - my lasting memory of you will be the
    look of horror on your face when you came to our hotel in Vienna on the
    morning after the match and I told my mates that you were a fan of 
    the sheep.  Oh happy days !!!!!
