How the hell did this happen? Seriously, there are times when I still consider myself a noob here.
Time for some thanks I think.....
I'll start at the top. Many thanks to Col for allowing us into his 'home'. A member pointed out to me some time ago that we are all 'guests' here. That stuck with me and I do my best to act accordingly.
Thanks to all the Admin staff, in particular Franke for his huge contribution in making this the best rep forum on the planet. Also to R2D4 who was so helpful to me when I first found this place.
Thanks also to all of the Moderators. A splendid job you all do!
Thanks to the crazy Trk for making me laugh, being a friend and for showing me his kitchen.
To Avenger007 for being a great guy, for the help and for putting a hat on Jack.
To AHW for being......well AHW. A special lady, so kind, so thoughtful and so very helpful.
I'd also like to single out some friends, in no particular order. I wont bore you with individual reasons but these are a truly great bunch of guys whom I'm proud to call friends:
Co-Axial, Mr ZoSo, Steelfish, G30, Pec, Ale, Wiscirna, Sub4Me and JC7 (God, I miss that guy. I wish he'd pop his head in now and again).
Special mention to Wiz and Bonesey who both helped me out enormously over the last few months.
This is quite overwheming so apologies if I missed someone out.
Thanks to all you guys that voted for me.
It's a great honour to receive this but, in all honesty, I'm just happy to be here amongst such good company.
THANK YOU!!!
