I am making this my final post on The Rolex Forums as I am about to leave the country.

This will be my last opportunity to correspond with you for sometime.
Bags are packed and I'm ready to leave. I would have let you all know sooner,
but circumstances dictated that this was not possible. An exciting new Job opportunity
was offered to me this week, and I needed to make a quick decision, in order to secure this position.

I have decided to go and manage a football team... I realise that this May come as a shock to my fellow
WIZs, but I have always secretly harboured such a desire,and I could not turn down this once in a lifetime opportunity to fulfil my personal dream.


The team is based in Northern Brazil. This is a very poor & remote area of
the country, with the nearest city being some 200km away.
Communications are primitive by western standards, the infra-structure
antiquated, and living standards basic. On top of this, the area suffers from
Torrential rainstorms.

Despite all this I am looking forward to the challenge ahead. One of The
main aspects of the job is to stay in close contact with the team, day and
night. We will adopt an Italian style closed training camp regime with no
outside contact, except when playing our games. This will give me ample
opportunity to focus on individual players and the team as a whole. I am
looking forward to the close and intense bonds that this will hopefully
create. Both the players and myself appreciate that we must be prepared To
give, as well as receive, and as much as humanly possible.

There is no postal service, telephone network, or Internet facilities, so
I won't be able to communicate with you again....

It will be just me and the team, 24/7. If you are interested I have picture of team in link below.They are looking for a trainer masseur as well,if interested, but tough post gone because they are all mine.As I will be working with obviously inexperienced talent, I can see it will be hard for most of the time.

Almost had me as well, I was going to write a great poem on Peter's and his wonderful knowledge of the tarantula's world...and then I saw the picture!

Now to the fellows who wouldn't have got it, this is Peter celebrating his flawless victory on TRF:

See and this is why we need to find a way for pledge members to be able to ban certain moderators! Steve are you listening?!?!? Padi definitely had me there for a sec! Now excuse me while I bombard his inbox with the 3,756 PM's I have been meaning to send him...
