He's gone it seems, he celebrates Christmas with his folks early remember? It's all in his posts. Santa oughta tell him a thing or two about opening his gifts early, I just hope he doesn't get left with you for Christmas! He'd die from the quirkiness!
If the matey was left with me he wouldn't be able to tell if I was ever joking with him or not, I've got German blood, the personality moves with me you see, German people have these dark stares even when they tell jokes, you can never tell what they're thinking...
