Thread: New Heaven Host

I'm sure many of you will have noticed that we have been short of a host in Heaven for a while. Marvin the Martian has been doing a great job as a temporary host and, although it's been great fun to watch him squirm while out of his comfort zone, the time has come to appoint a new permanent Heaven Host.
I'm delighted to announce that Ariel has agreed to take on the role. Ariel has been on the Ship for a long time and I'm sure will make an excellent host.
Thanks to Marvin for stepping in.

I can hardly say welcome to someone who has been around the ship longer than I have.
Be careful when hosting, Ariel, the bunnies are sensitive: Some are armed.

Many thanks to Marvin for doing a fine job as "night watchman" (he'll know what I mean) and well done the admins in appointing Ariel.
Welcome Ariel. Heaven isn't as easy to host as first appears. Good luck, etc.

The ultra dry Martini is favourite, and the olive ensures you get one of your five-a-day.
