Thank you Kelly, and Gabe, and Lindsay and Scott.
In my job I see the worst side of the internet on a daily basis. I read comments that contain the worst slurs and abuse. I've had death threats myself via the internet. I'm sure the people who post them are just normal folk, but they don't think about the person sitting there, reading it all.
That's why Videogum means so much to me. Because it proves that the internet doesn't have to be a nightmare. You/we've built a wonderfully strong community here, that values opinions and humour and takes itself just the right amount of serious.
I've had a lot of laughs here, got through some very bad times personally and met some great people, and next time I get across the Atlantic, I hope to see some of them.
I wish you a whole heap of luck in whatever you do next. And I hope we all stay in touch as best we can.
Today I bought the wrong sandwich, I thought it was cheese but it turned out I can't read and it actually said 'proscuitto', which I have an irrational fear of, so I had to leave half of it because mentally I just couldn't cope with the knowledge of what I was eating. And also I couldn't pull the offending meat out of it because people were looking and I'm meant to be an adult.
What I'm saying is, I'm cracking up and VG needs to hang on for a bit longer for me.
Yay! (to the party, not the ticket) I think the clear answer to the costume is NORWAY: http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/52e184a6eab8eafe101b31f2/norways-curling-team-will-once-again-be-the-best-dressed-at-the-winter-olympics.jpg
