~Tactical Officer Weekly Report #197 - 8th of August 2005~

***~Taccy Rant~***

Well children this could be my last TAC report for a while since (incase u didn't know) the illustrious AD Frodo returns from his long and exciting vacation in a few days.

Let me just say its been a blast, I've learnt a lot of new things including patience, wisdom (HA) and the fact i can write a report every week if i really have too :P

I hoped i touched you all in some special way...(some more than others *wink wink*)

And i trust you will all continue to read Frodo's TAC reports even if they are not as fun and insulting as mine :P

Anyway without further pointless ranting, heres all the newz.
