Just ticked over to Lt General this morning. It's seemed a long, hard slog. As for the cricket batsman in the high nineties the last few have been worrisome.
Looking at the stats, I see that currently I have spent 37 days, 7 hours and 58 minutes since the 1st Feb 2011 (has it really been three years?) sitting in front of this screen. That's over a month of solid staring - day and night. No wonder I feel tired! There have been a couple of strops along the way, a few minor embarrassments and a lot of chuckling that has had my other half looking up in surprise.
Ah, well, here's to the next 5000!
Welcome to the premiership Hertsblue!
Shall we adjourn to the bar and let the lower ranks get the drinks in?
Don't distract the senior ranks from necessary recruitment business, senor.
Many, many congratulations, Ray !! :-bd <:-P :-bd <:-P :-bd
Now we'll be watching out to see if Will's going to overtake the head prefect. ;)
If Nik's not back soon........
Cheers - Phil
Well done that man!
Phil,
Nik returns, does 2000 posts, then disappears again! It will be a while before I catch him...
Maybe. ;)

I think you're right Will. ;D ;D ;D....He'll certainly have an
awful lot of catching up to do !
Cheers - Phil
A way for me to go yet to catch up with such August company ;) :D.
You're not a million miles from your next rank, Steve. ;) ;D
Cheers - Phil
Well I'd better get posting then ;). It is quite suprising though how much time I have spent on this forum, which is nearly 11 1/2 days. I've learnt plenty of stuff and had a good laugh or two. Long may it continue!
myself 29 days and 11 hours - 453 posts :-\
my wife says I'm a good listener
Salutes you, Sir!
Congratulations Ray
I hve a while to go

Thank you, gentlemen. You're very kind - as always.
Jolly good to know that the 1st Regt. Pendraken Forum Heavy Infantry Beards runs a 'promotion from the other ranks' policy only.
We all know what happens when you let the nobs buy their ranks...

Far better to fill the brass with Peachy Carnehans...
