This is a thread for people who will not be or have not been on the site for a while, whether due to real life or to resist an internet addiction, the latter of which is encouraged within reason. Also, talk about the benefits/whatever of taking a day or a weekend off, or things to do when not online. TV Tropes ruining your life is nothing to be proud of.

Generally, expect the following from this thread:

  1. People announcing their departure or return.
  2. Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
  3. Inquiries about an absent troper.
  4. Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

It's good to see you again! I had almost forgotten about you, you crazy aviation enthusiast! There's too few of us to risk losing even one. tongue

Forgotten about me, had you? We'll have to talk about that memory of yours, my friend...

Also I bought a Buccaneer Airfix kit last week, yet to decide what variant to build.

You've got very good taste, my friend!

What I like about the Buccaneer is its' design and also its' Boundary Layer Control (BLC). It's certainly a clever method of increasing performance. But I digress... I doubt these people want to watch us discuss the finer points of aeronautical engineering.
