It is, as the Hothouse Flowers song goes, an emotional time. I hope TASE understands the esteem with which he is held by the TFK brethren.

We’ll look after him boys, never fear.

TASE, you know where I am mate, I am your humble servant etc.

Some decent Australian music for the plane.

cheers everyone-especially dunph

shindig in malahide tomorrow-bandage,ss ,rocko,larryduff all in i assume?

Best of luck TASE mate.

Goodluck man!

I believe Jugs may be accompanying Bandage and me. I’ll confirm before arrival so there’s no embarrassment at mixing up names etc.

Unfortunately I won’t be there tonight.
Have a great night tase!

I just hope the Scottish Communities League Cup final result doesn’t put a dampener on proceedings tonight. My car is scheduled to pick me up at 9.06pm.

Rocko and Bandage en route.

Rocko, a summation of tonights events is required, with appropriate quotes from the farewell speeches. What amusing trinket was presented to TASE on behalf of all of us?

Tears turned to joy when news filtered through that Rory McIlroy’s short-lived reign at the top of the world golf rankings had ended.

It would be inappropriate for me to go into too much detail about what was clearly a very emotional time for anyone. But it was great to give TASE and the Brisbane Lion the send-off they deserve and it was gratifying to learn that the Lion is an avid reader of this forum, and the Ausbloodystralia thread in particular, despite her low post count.

It wasn’t really a night for sideshows, there was no need for any spectacular other than the presence of the departees themselves. So it was a huge thrill to be treated to a magic show anyway. What a performance from a guy who will go a long long way in the tough business of magic.

Thanks for every minute TASE.

I felt that TASE arranging a conjurer to entertain the crowd more than made up for the inadequate catering. Not often you see TASE well up but I think the emotion of the night got to him. His speech at the end left few dry eyes in the place.
All credit to the dancing baby who managed to keep his shit out of his mouth presumably as a mark of respect to TASE and family.

Is there scoops tomo mate ?

Another sensational evening :pint:

Ireland’s loss and all that

I think it’s time to hang up my keyboard. Good bye lads.
