As some of you may be aware, its likely that I'll be leaving these shores in search of work, and the dosh to "top up" my retirement fund, well more likely the dosh to spend on Blooo Duke.

So on Saturday, off I jolly well ramble to Nelly's for the usual Bacon Butty, a bit of banter and the social stuff that normally happens...........
So I turn up and think, blurdy heck, its crowded in here today, but get a brew, Nelly gets about a dozen bacon/saus/egg combinations of giant butties and all is really great
There woz:-
KB and Rushjob, Rockhopper and his other- Lynn, Glyn who'd ridden up from Northhants, Me, Nelly, Old Yella (Geoff) turned up from Selby, where ever the hell that is???, Rob and Mrs Rob (I'll remember her name one day, srri Mrs Rob) Yeti, Dick and some others, so you can see that its a great big social DSC meetup. If Ive left anyone from the list, then I apologise in advance of the ****ging Im likely to get,
Well fuelled up on the blurdy great butties and rolls, watered with copious amounts of tea and coffee, when Nelly said to me

"You dont geddit, do you Mort??" Get wot m8, woz the reply.

He then says, all these peeps are here for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! me, no, go on, get orft, youve gotta be jokin, but I must admit I did feel a tear or two start to well up.
Loadsa good luck cards, wish you well in your new job, etc etc then a large box woz placed in front of me.
A superb cake wiff a piccie of Blooo Duke on the top, and a superb artists drawing of Blooo Duke in a frame and all that.........speechless, most of you never seen me speechless, but I was then..................
People had ridden or driven from very afar just to give me these presents and wish me well. Guys and Gals, that dont happen in other clubs
I just want to take the effort to thank those that turned up, and those that sent their wishes,
What a better bunch of mates could anyone ask for?

I really was surprised and touched, so to you all that organised the day, turned up or sent their wishes, THANKS

This is what the DSC is all about, a great bunch of peeps who I am proud to call mates.:P:P

I hope that my travels dont start too early in the new year, but let me take this opportunity to wish all DSC peeps and visitors to this thread

A very happy Christmas and a merry New Year

Bestest Mort (in a slightly choked up and speechless way)

and if I ever work out to get the piccies of cake and picture orft me phone onto here, I'll let you see them

[nelly]

but like I told you Mort.......................... "you're worth it!!"

It was an excellent morning and i'd like to thank everyone that turned out for the "occasion" to.

We'll miss you matey and woe betide them if they don't give you a bloody internet connection

Mort,

didn't realise you were off to sunnier climates - best of luck with it.
Although I wasn't there to see you off, at least my bike was!

I'm sure we'll see you back on the board in no time.

cheers, Chi

Thats so nice. Even Im touched. Feel a swellin in eyes. No realy thats the sort of thing I would expect from the people in this club. When the chips are down theres someone there and fond farewells to. Good luck whatever you do. We had a similar meet for two UKMOC peeps in october. Great day.
