Oti….

[sabre]

…. Been on recently? Seems to have gone a bit quiet on here?

Just wondering how he was.

[londontown]

He wasn't feeling too good a few days back. I hope he is OK?

[Lard Buttie]

Wasn't he off to India on the 27th?

[enoch]

Was gonna post the same earlier, hope alls well

[El Mel]

Not logged on here or DATM for a couple of days, hopefully he's busy travelling as he'd planned to do.

So ill. Made India....no-one on the planet would believe it.
Train delayed 2 hours at York.
Kings X picked up the passport from the agent by courier.
Jumped in the VIP mini-bus for Heathrow.
Never saw Heathrow, VIP lounge and then straight to the plane. We were that short of time.
Business class bed....then HELL.
1 hour Indian immigration and then THREE hours in a filthy car par underground having 2 PCR tests. Thousands milling about. Nowhere to lie down.
Cops came because i sneaked out of the airport to nap in the car.
VIP taxi disaster...never came and we ended up in a tiny Suzuki. He went the wrong way 5 times and 1.30 hours turned in to 3 hours
I genuinely thought i would die in the cab. I could not have made the trip alone.
Beachfront bungalow for the sunset.....then a fucking rave party until 6am
Just finished now.
I have days guys and i send love and thank you all....just typing this is pure agony.
Otium.

Hopefully a good rest and feeling the sunshine on your back will invigorate you .

Thoughts are with you otium. The word legend is thrown around too often these days, but you Sir are true to the word. Enjoy your time there the best you can and I think I'll speak for all of us when I say THANK YOU. Thank you for your words of wisdom and your entire posting history. A delight to read. God bless and godspeed Ron

If you log in to see this Oti, just glad youre where you've chosen to be at the end.

really enjoyed getting to know you 'virtually' over the years.
Your stories have been a joy but what I enjoyed most was your put downs. Anyone can just tell somebody theyre a bellend, but you did it in glorious ways that had me in stitches.

Its been a pleasure mate.
