mercuryvapour.co.uk… November 4th 2000 – February 23rd 2012

The end of an era, and end of an 11-year chapter of my life, which I’ll look back with fondness. Recent turns of events means that I no longer have the means, money or motivation to carry on this site. It’s died the way I never wanted it to. Very few blog posts, probably less hits.

There’s been ups and downs, moments I’ve been proud of, moments I’ve confined to the bit-bucket of time, and long deleted moments where I’ve felt like the biggest arsehole of all time, moments that have shaped my life forever. Relationships have fallen apart because of my warblings on here.

I could go on, I could reel off a credit list as long as your finger. Instead, I’ll say that everything I’ve done on this site was mine. Some of it wasn’t, but those who aren’t mentioned were happy to give their contents to the site, and I shall be forever grateful. If you’ve commented on this site over the years, thank you for taking the time.

I’m not dead, or dying, however (though at the time of typing I think I’m getting a chest infection), and I’ll still be around the normal haunts. Facebook, flickr, email, twitter, you know where to find me. Mercuryvapour will be involved somewhere, but the website, as of now, is a dot. This post, that is all. It’ll sicken me to delete 11 years worth of work, but sod it, it’s over. If I don’t move on now, I never will. It’s probably for the best that the past isn’t on the internet anyway.

Listen to me, tch, wibbling like your average copy of Your Sinclair…
