How cool would it be to leave town in such an old school way with just a suitcase and not much else, but sadly I have far too many frames and prints to take with me and am going out in the less glorious fashion of a hired transit van. Sadly I don't have a manager (played by Leonard Rossiter) to tell I have quit and am off to the bright lights to seek my fame and fortune, an ''Oi Shadders'' moment if you will http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vPb1LOU09g and even worse I don't have Julie Christie (even though she lives just over the border from me) to whisk me off to London on the last train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clPhtitSpes

Apologies to those of you I haven't caught up with this week, it really did fly by and I'm still sorting out the few last jobs as I write this and will have to retire v. shortly. A lot of people have been a little shocked by my sudden move and in the main the consensus has been that 'I'll be back inside two weeks' So, here's the latest odds

Back Next Thursday - 7/2 Favourite
Back in a week - 8/1
Back in Two weeks - 8/1
In a day or two - 14/1
One or two months - 20/1
Possibility of Darrell actually succeeding and getting the life he's always wanted - 1,000/1

Personally, I think the latter is worth at least an each way £1 gamble isn't it? As I sit here having raided my TV collection on my Mum and Dad's Sky Plus (for it is they who are transporting me tomorrow morning) full of Sky Arts or BBC4 programmes and I watch the classic sixties show Jazz 625 with Theo Monk, I'm feeling surprisingly hopeful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkmNNmAnAM

Good Night and Good Luck.
