PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]
Please helpAs a result of prolonged absence following a number of very unnatural disasters I feel I must seek to rename this thread "PF - The Annual". It could follow in the great traditions of other notable publications such as The Beano, The Dandy and those girlie ones that my Sister used to read. In fact, thinking about it, there are parallels with The Beano and The Dandy. Here on PF we have the Bash Street Kids (Harry, Delph and Des), Desperate Dan (anyone seeking that perfect Polish girl on a plate without the need to leave their run down terrace house where the sofa has a hole in it from prolonged watching of daytime TV) and Lord Snooty (er, that's me according a PM received from a caring and understanding forumite).
Having spent some time reading recent activity on here it was reassuring to note that in times of such global change and uncertainty there has been no evidence of a Polish Forums Spring that seeks to overthrow the management team. Mubarak, Ben Ali, Gaddafi and Saleh have gone but Admin and the Mods continue to provide a strict but benign guiding hand over the many tribes that live, love and squabble here.
Here in the dingy surrounds of the back streets of a grey and boring suburban town in the UK little has changed on the face of it. The threadbare carpet in the office is the same, empty Guinness cans abound and the waste bin overflows with half finished sudoku puzzles. The pile of golf clubs in the corner that were 'proven to improve your scores' but sadly didn't has grown. However, there have been some changes. The dedicated editor (Ed) has finally fled his creditors and is living in a tent somewhere near Phnom Penh and not taking calls. The rest of the editorial team breached their parole conditions and are back in Dartmoor Prison.
So that leaves just me to write something. I have to confess that is impossible to summarise anything and that my true intent is merely to try to get this thread to fifty pages since 49 pages upsets my compulsive obsession with symmetry. My thinking is this post and the inevitable responses demanding to know what I'm on should go some way towards this objective.
I promise that if you help me make the magic fifty I will ride quietly into the sunset on my trusty mule George.
Hasta la vista
