Anyone need a Billy bookcase or two?

Cutting the umbilical cord
Well, snipping away at it, one box of content at a time -- or 73. Let me explain: We're moving back to the UK next year, and have decided to get a jump on the process by shipping about half of our stuff over to PJ's storage unit in north London. The packers came today, boxed our "collectable toys" and "lots of video games" (their packing labels) into the afore-mentioned 73 boxes, and whisked them away. We're left with dirty carpets, walls that need painting, and various bits of computing kit dangling from the ceiling -- and the weirdest sense of deja vu. The flat is starting to regress, taking on the appearance it had when we moved in: relatively little furniture, few books or DVDs, and hanging cables. And it makes the return to Blighty just that little bit more real.

Oh God, no. The sad reality is starting to sink in for even the most recalcitrant of your fans. Don't leave us.
Think of it less as losing a friend, and more as gaining a new holiday location! Plus a whole bunch of new blog posts whinging about the Brits.
