    'ere we go ...

    I asked can you tell us when threads get split and how do we go about it. And they said ...
    Hello Dave,
    We generally move threads onto a new part when they reach 3,500-4,000 posts so the Username Silliness thread is long overdue a new part!
    This is a manual process for the moderators so is generally done when we have a bit of downtime.
    As this thread is now quite large, we will be splitting it tonight. Doing so helps keep server load low.


    Blimey! Not even fasten your seat belt! :D:D
    Nice to see we kept to our usual style and broke more conventions by going large :cool::cool::cool:

    Next time I'll keep an eye on the mail :o:D

    Well they certainly looked as if they had been pulled through a hedge backwards.:eek:

    ba dum tissssssssssh :D

    i lent that album (songs from the wood) to someone and they never gave it back :mad:
    i lent another album to someone and they left it in their car and when they returned it to me it looked like an elizabethan ruff :mad:
    i still like vinyl though even though it didn't like cars.....

    I am grateful to the Mods. We will be glad of this place come January. In fact if the Jordan/Jim Davidson rumours turn out to be true I may camp out in here all the time. (Shudders)

    Oh Poo Dave has noticed his typo. I like the idea of a thread started in 20113. Gives me time to prepare.

    Ah - we'll get to those at some point, but let's do them a bit at a time. I'm not sure any more shocks tonight will do me any good :D

    Much as I love it where I am, I still miss the sea - I'd have moved back years ago except the job kinda drew me logically Midlands way.
    Decided the kids would be better off not growing up in Brighton. Might have ended up like me :D

    Haven't seen waves for nearly a year. Planned several visits, but for one reason or another they didn't happen. Been a sad muppet watching Brighton Beach Patrol, looking for glimpses of all the pubs I know.
    Not the same as a pint of King and Barnes in the hand though :D:D
