PeteC is being let out of Hell free?
Uncle Pete, does this mean you're going to stop being a curmudgeonly old grumpmeister? How will we recognise you? Seriously, thanks for all your input shipwards (and friendshipwards) so far and all the best for your impending travels. You're in the new diary!

Enjoy your well-earned break. Pity you haven't got a gong as well, then you could bang it when you want your dinner.

Just because PeteC no longer has to clean the tank does not mean that he won't take bites out of slow-swimming Denizens.

I'm not leaving the Ship - and especially not the Crew's Quiz - just not hosting. For now.

Thanks for all your hard work Pete. To be soppy for a minute - you once posted a quick comment on something I'd written in AS which was so kind and thoughtful I shall remember it for a very long time. There, soppiness over.
Hope you have a good break.

I'm pretty sure that PeteC won the "Host of the Year" in the St Simmies a couple of years ago and amazingly, I nominated him! That was on the basis of his hosting in All Saints, Hell and (I think) Purgatory too.
He's done a fine job throughout and has helped me no end as a rookie Hellhost. Enjoy your break.

I've always enjoyed Pete's hosting in Hell, and I'll miss it.
I hope you stick around, Pete--don't be like so many others who say they will continue to contribute, then go off to lie on a remote beach sipping cocktails with paper umbrellas in them, posting rarely and then only to rub it in...

Yeah, the paper umbrellas really add insult to injury.
However, I believe his travels bring him to Scotland at some point, so there'll be nae lazing on beaches then.

I see that you have identified the situation clearly. If we areto hear from Pete, henceforth it will only be because one of the staff has learned to keyboard his responses for us. However, as a fellow superannuated public servant, I quite understand the importance of drinks with paper umbrellas-- a just reward for dedicated service to Our Glorious Sovereign.
