“Hey now, hey now, Don’t dream it’s over” - Crowded House. I’m never good at farewells so I’ll be brief.

Missing the end of this chapter is in a lot of way like my entire 8 black experience - a buck short, a day late.

I’ll never forget mornings at StarBucks, camping out at the x10 seminar, lunches with McCarthy Group, Ken McCarthy (has the world never met a better entertainer?)…

Simon, good luck!

Simon,

I agree - have really enjoyed reading the blog. It’s the first one I look for each day. I’ll make sure to keep an eye out for the next chapter.

Cheers

Hi Simon,

It is sad to hear the end of 8 Black blogging as it is one of the few I read regularly. The good news is that you will be back soon.

Your writing style reminds me of AA Gill, my fave food critic, so keep ‘em coming Simon.

Such is life; Thanks Simon yours is one of the few blogs I read word for word all others being scanned in Bloglines.

I’ll miss your to the point well opinionated diary style, Often used your Blog as a first source of fact or fiction checking (if Simon hasn’t mentioned it it’s probably not true)and being a fly on the wall (just a little) in the eightblack boardroom.

Well done Mate best for the future.
Cheers, Brendan

Sorry to see you go Simon. I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog over the last couple of years.

You’re one of the few bloggers I follow who manages to pull off a compelling and conversational writing style without being hypey, insincere or just plain boring.

You’ll be missed. Good luck with Taguchi Mail!

Cheers,

George

Fat Tony, its time to let go. Move on from BlueFreeway. It just isnt that exciting any more. Those that know me, know that I have A.D.D. I’ve lost interest…but you never know, if I hear something worth writing about, I’ll let you know. Cheers Simon
