Firstly a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my readers around the world. Two years to the day since I started the Ultimate World FM Game and I'm still going strong with Electricitie du Cambodge in Cambodia. Readership has increased this year as I discovered Reddit was quite a good place to link to and through this I now even have some readers in Cambodia itself, which is fantastic!

The disappointing thing was the demise of our two African imports for completely different reasons. Ahmed Abdi for sheer arrogance, while Aderito Graca suffered from that other incurable illness, homesickness. Both went home after just a handful of appearences between them.
