Had to do this now as I would forget later

This is my 1000th. Do I get a badge. T-shirt. Mug?

Does a new magical forum open? - Gotta go check that one

Not sure if this is something to celebrate or commiserate really, this forum has stolen a large chunk of my life!!

Edit// Bugger, no new forum. So I get nothing. What an anticlimax. Definitely off for a beer now.

Your 1000th post always seems momentous to yourself, but the thrill fades over time for most.

My recent 5000th passed without comment.

I only stay sane over the wasted part of my life because of the knowledge there are other, even sadder people with 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 + posts

Well done mate. A Milestone. New secret forum at 10,000!

Actually, Crockers, I got happier with my life once I passed the 10,000th.

Although one may remember, I had a bit of a mid-forum crisis at the time, and was at a bit of a loss as to what to do; "Should I continue posting? Should I quit altogether? Should I go out and get drunk?"

I did the latter, and not long afterwards returned to the boards a stronger, and better poster.

And happier.

Congratulations, Steve Marriot! Hmm, I was rather hoping that something would happen at 1000 posts. Hmmph!

Look, I know this is going to come across as a little odd but I actually drink less here than I did back in Blighty. I wonder if there's a sort-of reverse AA?

WOW, I drink water during the day here, not at home.

Once the sum is over the yardarm, Chang is my drink, safer than water.

I usually lose at least a kilo in weight every week in LOS.

I did the latter

I tried to take some bets on that, nobody would take me on

<deleted>!! This is like my birthday cards all intimating that I drink too much.

<deleted>, I was gonna get in a serious debate about drinking, but I am too pissed now and going to bed with my beatiful fiancee (missus)

Sleep well!

Sleep well!

Eventually !

Well the night is passed.............How was your sleep ?

It was very good, thank you for your concern. The missus had to drag me out of the jungle behind the house, as I thought it would be nice to sleep under the stars, but when I eventually made it to bed I slept like a dead man. I'm still finding bits of foliage in my hair as I type

I've just noticed a small consolation prize, I have now been promoted to the dizzy ranks of SUPER Member. Yay!!

Edit// I've also just realised that I have made 28 posts since last night, any therapists here??

You don't need therapy! Keep posting...

Yes, congrats for a significant (well, for a forum) milepost. The next big one I would have thought is 5k, but going from OC's experience, perhaps not. Being a 'super member' does not bring much in the way of benefits, but did you notice that when you get to Tigger's post count, you become a spiritual member? That means that you can float about cyberspace without earthly means of support (even Persians need rugs to do that trick).

Being a spiritual member does have it's advantages!

Well done "sweetchariot".

Your Kan change that by going into "My Controls" which is on the same line as "Logged in as" of any page and click on "Edit Profile Information". Then on the first line "Custom member title" change it to what you like.

Please Kan you do me a great favour, "Custom member title" should be something like your position in the Rugby Team, Fly Half, Loose or Tight Head, Full Back or perhaps "Hooker"

Yours truly,

The Colonel, Kan Win

I was thinking of changing mine, actually. Hmm...

Um, ah... The Field Marshall, Ping

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh if you do that then I will be out wanked ranked Khun Ping

I was tinking to himself "The Colonel" that we should be changing our to "Shi take Mushroom" as we are always kept in the dark and fed <deleted>.

Yours truly,

Kan Win

Ah, the old mushroom gag!

Second oldest gag in the book; after the chicken crossed the road one (chicken - that was something to do with a colonel as well, wasn't it? Never mind.)

By a more than strange coincedence I do play hooker - I tried to explain that one on the welcome thread, without much success!!

I think I would spend more time explaining what it meant than anything else if I were to use that as a title, plus fending off amorous advances.

I got involved in a thread the other day, where a farang had seen a Thai lady wearing a t-shirst saying 'Rugby Whore', and felt compelled to go and explain to her what a whore was, without the slightest comprehension of what the phrase means. This was a term common before the days of professional rugby, given to a player who would go and play for a different side because they were doing better (not for financial gain).

As I am here and rugby is not too common, I would gladly play for anyone desperate enough, so maybe that could be my new title, Sweetchariot - Rugby Whore!

I saw that (yet another) t-shirt thread. Some people just take life so seriously!

ps how about rugby ho?
