Now leaving for my second stint down there from March 10th to March 27th. I might be able to do certain things during that span. Simply, I'm likely to be offline more often than not and tend to my studies and Magic the Gathering decks.

Given as RL business is really picking up right now, all of my series and anything else requiring my involvement is on hold. I will check, probably daily, for posts so if anything important arises I will be able to respond.

I will be totally absent from the forum from April 2nd to April 13th due to a school trip to Senegal. In the meantime, you may contact me via e-mail, but I willy be able to answer upon my return.

As a result of my late-night Youtube sprees, I have managed to max out my wi-fi bandwidth for the whole month; net result being that for the next couple of weeks I will be a lot more scarce than normal, but I should be able to log on every few days or so hopefully.

Thanks! It's a family reunion in Bavaria. My grandparents live there, and I don't get to see them very often over the course of the year, because I live at the opposite end of Germany. My siblings and my parents will be there too, just like every easter holiday, so I'm really really looking forward to this. :D

I tend to see my grandparents mostly at Christmas rather than Easter, even though they are not at the other end of the country like yours! Does Easter tend to be the main time for families in Germany? Christmas tends to be the annual family time here in England...

Same in Germany, actually, but there's a certain reason why my family doesn't celebrate Christmas anymore. I'm not going into details here, but over the last couple of years we simply moved our annual family reunion to Easter instead of Christmas. ;)

I may not be available for this Sunday due to being in Oakland for an Autocross event. It won't be for the whole day, it will be for a large portion of it.

I know this window may be too small to be with announcing here, but negotiations between different series are underway and I don't want to get penalized or have negotiations dropped when no one hears from me tomorrow.

I have a school drama production within Sunday to Tuesday (Sunday is dress rehearsal, Mon-Tue is show day) so expect less activity on those days, as I need to come home late. :)

Well, this has been my first time back on the forums in 72 hours, in which time I got seriously sunburnt in Brighton. Can't imagine I've lost out in any way by not having been around for such a short period (unless Aerond has opened something for F1RWRS in the meantime...?).

Since I might as well save some unnecessary posts, I won't be active on all weekends until the 3rd weekend of June and missing a large portion of the 3rd week of June thanks to mostly paddling commitments (it's undetermined whether I'll go to the Belmont Stakes to gamble on seeing a Triple Crown winner for the first time yet). Plus, I may be gone for a week or two of July as I may be going about paddling in Canada. Just to let you guys know in case there are situations where I can't negotiate deals or whatever.

I'm going on a business trip from 26th to 30th this month. Since it's going to be a pretty busy week, I probably won't find much time to check in on the forum (if at all).

So I'm posting the 11th Round of the Junior Cup this Friday as promised and get to the final round as soon as I'm back! :)

I've only ever been on two "business" trips. One was to Lourdes; the other was to Disneyland, Paris. 8-)

My business trips tend to involve the toilet or prostitution, depending on what kind of business we talk about.

Oh how I wish I could go to Disneyland next week, but no, it's Peru for me. The company I'm working for is into eco tourism and we'll be negotiating some important new projects there. Needed to freshen up my hepathitis vaccination and stuff. Really hope I don't get sick from the food like last time. Really don't look forward to this trip, but I also need to pay my bills... ;)

When I went to Disneyland, it was as a carer, providing care to somebody with physical disabilities. So it was not all fun! ;)

I've got a busy June coming up; I'm in France from the 4th to the 14th, and then I'm at Glastonbury from 25th to the 30th. If you need me for anything, tell me over the next week so I can sort it out, because I won't have internet over those two points in time.
