Missing - Presumed Lost

At the bottom of my garden there is a small football tethered to a tree. It's the last remnant of whoever lived in my house before I did - who presumably was either a child or alarmingly bad at taking free kicks. Every day I see that football and every day I do absolutely nothing about it. It gets the odd kick out of the way every time I need to mow the lawn but there it sits, unloved and abandoned, presumably until I have moved on and it becomes the next guys problem.

I thought of this because it's almost been the same with this webpage. For the last year or so I've known it was there, moved the odd thing about every now and then but never actually done anything about it.

There was a small surge in interest back in January when I decided that 2011 was the year of the reboot, but suddenly it's almost July and I've done absolutely nothing. And it's not as if I've had nothing to talk about.

As was indicated in my opening paragraph I've got a new house in a new town with a new tethered football. I've recently been spending time in Germany losing drinking contests with the locals and most alarming of all I've made it to 30.

I'm still trying to work out how the hell that happened! I'm convinced it's a mathematical error and somehow the years since 2004 were just a "Dallas" style dream. One morning I'll step out of the shower and find that I'm still in a world where you can walk into a pub, order a beer and get change out of £3.

Wishful thinking perhaps, but on previous form it may be more likely than me making another post before Christmas.

Still, stranger things have happened...
