There aren't any Northern Irish people on the Ship are their?
Everyone looks very fine in their new numbers (though not as fine as me, obviously), though I must say I'm suprised that Sine has decided to join we vulgar nouveau rich, who, with our ostentatious displays of our flashily low numbers make it all too obvious that we have bought them rather than being bred up in them.

Hmmm, anyone else felt more inclined to post since they got their new number?
I've probably notched up ten or so posts since I swapped yesterday, which is pretty impressive for me.
Not sure if that meas i'm showing off my new number and giving it an airing on various boards, or if it's just been a bad day for work. ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)
Either way, i'm getting used to seeing the different number now, and will admit to feeling slightly smug about it each time.
LatePaul, I especially like your title - goes well with the name! Love that film (and bought the video today, strangely enough).
Chapelhead - maybe you should have a plain black avatar, cassock like. That way you are correctly dressed for every liturgical season, and for funerals too.

I thought of a completely black avatar - it has great appeal. But in the end I thought that it might look too much like an error, with the avatar space replaced by blank blackness.
Perhaps I will yet go for it, though.

You could have a little row of buttons down the middle and some discreet piping round the edge ...
Or you could just have an image of a cassock

It's very nouveau bas, my dear. But perhaps after another 10,000 posts you might get invited to the fashionable parties of the old low numbers.

Umm, I've come up with a really catchy strapline that I think dovetails nicely with my new num.
Any chance in getting the strapline changed? Ok, if not. I'm just not quick on my feet at times.
Cool, Demas. Envious, am I. Thanks for the opportunity.

umm... I think I said this somewhere before but I'd like a different strapline (one in fitting with my new number) as well. I had to try the new one on for size ) so I'm hoping it's not too late as well.

Good point - it *has* been a few days now - we'll do it tomorrow (Friday).
So ... last chance to check your PMs (then disable them), see what happens with your post count and leave a forwarding address somewhere in your profile.
We'll be round tomorrow to collect the keys.

Indeed. I wonder when Simon will sell it off?
1143 is, after all, the date when Afonso Henrique was recognized as the King of Portugal by the Castilian king, Alfonso VII, Celestine II became Pope and St Malachy issued his famous prophecy about the number of Popes left before the end of the world.
While according to timeline 1143, Abraham Lincoln went for a post mortem trip.
