Then AH will have to make do without Mint Aero for a while. I know it will be tough at first but if you want we can create a countdown to Mints return thread and everyone can count down the days till I come back, regale stories of my posts and most importantly support each other and those who will find it a particularly testing time.

The first 30 days no doubt will be extremely difficult and it's quiet possible boards.ie will have to shut down as loss of revenue due to my absence could make running the site unsustainable.

However rest assured when I port I will endeavour to check in and answer as much fan mail as I possibly can. I may enlist the help of the sailors and some of the responses will no doubt have to be generic due to volume. But none the less they will be sincere and from the heart.

By the 60 day mark. Despair will turn to rejoice for many as the half way point to my return nears. The main thorough fairs throughout the country can have traffic rerouted if the masses wish to celebrate. Not just celebrate my coming as it will still be relatively far off but celebrate the life of mint. It will be a time of reflection for many but remember some may find my absence too much to bear and I emplore those who are coping better to help their fellow mint fan.

On the 100th day of my conquest of the world via a cargo ship I would hope to have left my mark on all 4 corners of the globe and the mint community will have grown and diversified into a multi cultural melting pot utopia of vibrance and progressiveness.

Could it be a new renaissance? Indeed quite possibly and all achieved without the Internet. What glorious glory this shall be.

On the 140th day I shall triumphantly and gallantly raise my head high as I peer at the distant shore breaking the horizon! Hurrah hurrah the far reaching chant can be heard. Hurrah hurrah! With one fell swoop my foot comes crashing down on dry land. Crash! The sand disperses neath my foot before it kisses the breath of the earth. Hurrah hurrah!

I'll then board a Ryanair flight home. Buy some duty free and a large Toblerone and make contact with AH again when I get home after a cup of tea and a square of chocolate.
