Deranged's Retirement

Dear floydians,

I'm sad to announce that Lars (Deranged) has now left our moderator team. He has been very helpful throughout the many months he devoted his time to APFFN and we appreciate his efforts.

I'll miss his linguistic meat puppetry and grasp of adenoids. I'll miss his anti-oxidents and reasons to be cheerful. I'll long for his latitudinal direction and his east-west, but most of all, I'll forever mourn the passing of his gallstones in a'b'dy's direction.

"Goodbye My Lover"

By James Blunt

(Pour Lars)

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.





Goodbye Lars.

Happy retirement, Deranged. Thanks for the memories.

Um...is Deranged departing these APFFN shores?

Goodbye Lars, there's always room underneath the tartan travelling rug for you.

"Shine On You Crazy Dutchman (I-V)"

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy Dutchman.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy Dutchman.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you moderator, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy Dutchman.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy Dutchman.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Na-na na na hey hey hey gooodbye.

Hey your to young to retire. Get back here you slacker.

****ing good riddance!

You grumpy old git!

Sorry to hear that.
I hope that's not due to the discussion with PW.

Quiet you.

Uh... that was just too disgusting.
Anyway, this is a sad moment for APFFN. But that's life.
Bye Lars!

Since you hadn't been around for so long, I'm surprised there wasn't a Dr Cheese retirement thread!

Straws breaking camels and all that. Sorry Lars, see you later.
