Just to let you know that Andy has left the UK today for Moscow.As some of you might be aware he's got a teaching job for nine months.He did mention to me that he will let you all know how he's getting on.

I for one would like to wish him all the best as he's a smashing guy.I also admire him for having the bottle to change careers and live and work in a foreign country.

Nice bears? Communists? Vodka?

If you can find a stash of BudKon flexidiscs, I'll move there too.

All the best!

I once tried home made vodka I got from a Russian guy.
Pretty strong stuff!

But very nice....

Are you talking about Wee Claire?

(she is as mad as a brush and does not like The Neph)

As for all other straight HLers, I'm sure it's Lost in Translation (I hope)

It was certainly not as clear as I was used to...

Alcohol weeding?

So if not Vodka; what's your choice?

The ... er ... unfortunate derail has been split out here at the request of ormfdmrush.

Least said soonest mended.

I miss Andy. All the best mate.

I! AM! NOT! WEE!

Well not that wee anyway...

... well maybe width-wise, but I am not vertically challenged ferchissakes!

As for being mad as a brush and not liking the Neph - fair do's. Although my dislike of that troupe of flour-covered ponces is perhaps my very last shred of sanity

Posted: **06 Sep 2006, 17:34**

All the best to him. Andy will be missed. He has a talent for discussion without letting emotions get in the way. A noble art indeed.

HI everyone.

I'm just about settled into Moscow now, been here for a couple of weeks. For those in the city, I'm living at Novogireevo, out on the end of the yellow metro line.

Teaching is a bit too much like hard work - I should have stayed in journalism and wasted merrily for hours on end. But I'm on a quest for decent Russian bands (I see Butterfly Temple have a gig in a couple of weeks which promises to be a laugh) and dodgy football matches. Life would be easier if I wasn't working most weekday evenings, but there you go.

Do svidanya!

Out of context, that's a glorious statement Claire. Glad to hear it, bet you'd cause one hell of a UTI.
