I return to you now reformed, deformed and more humble than I have ever returned humbly before. I am not sure if I have escaped again from The Spa or have been released unceremoniously. Either way the door was open, no one was around and I limped out. Kind Rapaire's staff have reshaped me into a more worthwhile human being and any pain was meant for my greater good. In fact if it hadn't have been for Rapair I might have become a despot. Here is my confession.

It was a clear night in May and I was walking around Ambridge village green when I noticed a strange blue light over Lower Loxley. On approaching the source of the light I found myself being abducted by aliens who instructed me to identify my leader forthwith and not a moment later. Well the temptation was just too much. Not specifying which leader they wanted, I chose, for selfish reasons, my thread leader Shane. In a flash I saw in his departure a way of furthering my own thread ambitions. He was easy to point out on Google Earth for obvious reasons and despite what the aliens might have said they knew who they wanted and they knew where to find him. Of no further use to the aliens (I was a bit offended by this) they set me down in the village of Darrington, which is a whole lot scarier than aliens I don't mind telling you. My imposed leadership started well and I encountered little opposition. Unfortunately the first opposition I did encounter was enough and I was overthrown and taken for correction and improvement by Rapair's staff. I will speak no further of this.

Rest assured fellow posters I hold no further ambitions relating to this thread and am now contented with my lot. I hope you will find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Your old friend
