Walley?
Where is he?
He is in London! 
Sorry dear readers but I’ve only just got round to posting about Mark leaving.
Mark, the absolute legend that is, came into my life when he came to Ipswich at the beginning of his degree and I knew him through helping with a CYM event called The Platform. But to be honest, I’m not sure I liked him. He seemed a bit odd. Too clever for me and seemed to be a bit too holy to be my friend. But then after a year of knowing him, after a Soundnation launch event, me, Kev and The Baxter invited him to the pub and after chatting with him in the pub, I knew he was gonna be a good mate. He liked High Fidelity and coming up with Top 5’s so of course he was gonna be my mate! Anyway, our friendship grew from there.
I could go on for ages, but unless you are me or Mark then you probably wouldn’t care!
But in honour of Mark, I thought I’d do a Top 5 best things about Mark…
- His cool, yet geeky, yet rubbish style…we all miss those trousers which look a bit like S and M gear! And I don’t know anyone else who manages to get away with barely doing anything with their hair!
- His ability to learn…over three years in Ipswich Paul and me have converted Mark from someone who doesn’t really care or know about football, to someone who is a die hard Ipswich Town fan, even if he does have a strangely strong amount of love for Thierry Henry! We have also been able to change him from a man who drank the pee water that is Carling to someone who drinks John Smiths and then to someone who drinks whichever ale looks or sounds the coolest!
- His strong Christian faith, he has been a real help to us all in his example as a Christian, its helped also to see him sin (SHOCK HORROR - MARK SINS!) and that reminds us that we are all crap and all mess up. But as a good person to ask every question under the sun, Mark is tip top! He was/is a wicked prayer partner too! Even if we end up talking about football or something when we should be talking about what we want prayer for!
- The wicked friendship that he has given all of us Retrosexuals! He truly is one of the Famous Five and has been an amazing friend to me through the good and the bad times! Cheers bro!
- And finally…his love of Kev! Anyone who loves Kev is good by me!
So, so long Mark and farewell…it aint over till the Fat Lady sings and Kev aint even done a sound check yet!
Come back and visit us soon!

I blogged about Mark leaving. Unfortunately most of you won’t be able to read about it as it is on our church children’s blog. Oh yeah we ARE cool enough to have one of those.
If we can’t read it then why are you telling us ruthus?!
Well you know I didn’t want The Walley to feel like his leaving had not been marked
