End of an Era
One of the undeniable truths of living is that nothing lasts forever, and that people will come and go from your life. Never is this more true than on the foggy streets of London, where holiday visa and work permit restrictions increases the turnover of colleagues and cohorts exponentially.
So there is a constant string of new and felonious lunatics to meet, but the flip-side is that at the end of each year you lose a heap of good drinking partners too.
This is the case with our House-mate, Co-worker, and Shoddy Blog stalwart - Jimmy, who won’t be joining us in London this year, as he chosen to return to his University studies back in Adelaide.
The population of London will be suffering through some Jimmy withdrawal symptoms (except for that barmaid from Belarus, she hated your guts Jimmy but we never knew why?) and he will be sorely missed by the Wandsworth Demons Football team.
I still remember the first game he played for the Demons, he was so hung over he almost passed out a dozen times – yet went on to make the best players list anyway. I’m not sure why I remember that, I wasn’t actually here at the time. But it’s a fond memory none the less. His legacy will live on with the down-right inspirational recruitment posters found around London. Click to enlarge kids, and if this poster doesn’t inspire you to chuck on a Guernsey and get out on the grass for a kick, then I’m sorry - but you’re dead inside.
Oh and Jimmy, if you haven’t chosen a university yet – go for the UniSa Magill Campus. The student population is 85% female.
God I miss that place.

Farewell Jimmy. You look hot so I am glad you are returning to our land that is girt by sea.
But as long as we still have the Beef.

I sent the poster to Glasso.
He said "Son of a Bitch! Those are my Aviators!".
Why are you stealing Jimmy? Visit Batti's blog about make big money. I will be very happy to know you like to make money.
Then you can buy your own sunglasses.
Yes Jimmy - the aviators comment has been bandied around. In fact I may come right on over to Adelaide, slap the shit out of you for not coming back, take the aviators and then go and make some big money so I can buy Beef a new copy of photoshop!
